Public Option: One More Push

Robert Reich: Push Now!

Dear MoveOn member,

We’re closer than ever to winning a historic victory on health care.

I should know: I served as Secretary of Labor under President Clinton during the last health care fight. And I’m sure that this time around we’re within reach of passing a real health care reform bill—one that includes a public health insurance option.

Unfortunately, some conservatives in the Senate are still pushing a “trigger” plan that would kill the public option through indefinite delay. And they may even be finding support within the White House.

So now’s the time to redouble our efforts. I’ve recorded a new video explaining why I think this is an absolutely pivotal moment, and what we all can do to win.

Once you’ve finished watching, be sure to call Senator Dianne Feinstein—and tell her you won’t settle for anything less than a strong public health insurance option. No delays, and no excuses.

Here’s where to call:

Senator Dianne Feinstein
Phone: 202-224-3841

Thank you,

Robert Reich

Stand With Haiti

Words for Acts

An avidity to punish is always dangerous to liberty. It leads men to stretch, to misinterpret, and to misapply even the best of laws. He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
