This effort led by the fine folks at Firedoglake.com has turned some heads in Congress and the media. For the first time I can remember, the Netroots is using a long time lobbying technique...raising money to entice Congresscritters to actually vote for their agenda.
Nice to see...
I've heard talk of a one million dollar goal, which would REALLY turn some heads.
We have some NY State Reps on the list who have signed on to demand that a public option be part of the final HCR bill. Why not toss some coin their way ($2.00 each will do) and be part of a worthwhile lobbying effort:
Jose Serrano (NY-16), Carolyn Maloney (NY-14), Ed Towns (NY-10), Jerry Nadler (NY-08), Eric Massa (NY-29), Maurice Hinchey (NY-22), Nydia Valezquez (NY-12) and Yvette Clarke (NY-11).
Carrots instead of sticks. |
