Perhaps our President needs to hear from us, in order to be able to shrug his shoulders

and say "see, it's what the people want". :shrug:

Maybe our President is not sure what we want, because we haven't told him.

Although we voted for change and reform, we didn't tell him what kind of change and reform we voted for.

So isn't it up to us to let him know, rather than leave him guessing???? :shrug:

I am going to let him know I want single payer. He can be reached at 1-202-456-1111

1. You're going to tell him about single payer?

Wouldn't this energy be better spent working for something that's actually on the table right now?

2. The problem as I see it, the WH hasn't sent out strong messengers to talk up Obama's

points.

It is far from over and I would have never thought about calling the WH about single payer if things were moving ahead. But this past week has shown me weak Dem's, Blue Dog Dem's, and "no public option" Dem's.

3. I thought I did that in November 2008

This is what we voted him in for, among other things.

4. Been there, done that, more than once

Email, telephone, through OFA. If he doesn't know by now, he'll never know, since I know DUers have been advocating contacting the White House for weeks if not months.

6. He KNOWS what we want and NEED......

..... but Congress doesn't and neither does the MSM.

That's the whole point.

He also knows what Kent Conrad needs to hear right now. ;)
