1. From MoveOn.org:
If we act immediately, we have a good shot at defeating ploys like the "co-op." The key is to make it clear that we support astrong public health insurance option and lay out exactly what that means.
Click below and we'll fax a flier in your name (for free!) to Sens. Feinstein and Boxer that sets the bar for a strong public health insurance option. Faxes come directly into the office, so staffers are guaranteed to see them. And if enough of us send faxes, staffers will pass the flier on to their senator.

In Poll, Wide Support for Government-Run Health
By KEVIN SACK and MARJORIE CONNELLY
Americans favor a plan for government-run insurance to compete with private insurers, a Times/CBS poll finds.
A Public Health Plan
A robust public health care plan that piggy-backs on the rate setting powers of Medicare would lower costs, save money, and extend health benefits to more Americans.
