God Damn, Hold his feet to the fire!
Baucus' Bill out of the Senate Finance Committee is all about Co-ops.

The Senate HELP Committee is all about Co-ops.

Sebelius says Obama OK with Co-ops

Here is an article from Politico, talking about breaking the loss of the public option to liberals:

Asshole Kent Conrad says public option is dead!

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/08/16/democratic-senator-public-health-insurance-option-dead/

If Liberals and the Netroots, do not hold Obama and the Dems feet to the fire, there will be no chance for a real public option! Now is the time to let them know the importance of a public option. It is non-negotiable. Let them KNOW IT! This is too important to not confront!
