My reply to Jeremy Byrd at OFA and his "phone booths" email:

RE: Health Reform Phone Booths - NOT A CHANCE - NO PUBLIC OPTION+PERSONAL MANDATES=PHONY REFORM = I WILL NOT HELP YOU.

If you want my time and money, pass HR676. If you want to sell out to Republicans you better go ask THEM for THEIR money and time.

HR3200 is a total sell out to Republicans and the Health Insurance crooks who got us into this mess in the first place.

If you insist on selling out the progressive wing of the party, we will go shopping for a new candidate to primary Obama in 2012.

Passing anything just so can call it health care is NOT better than doing nothing or trying to pass a REAL healthcare reform bill and losing. I’d rather try and lose than pass HR3200 which will do far more harm than good – we’ve already seen it with the phony credit card reform that was passed earlier.


The email from OFA:


Douglas --

Last week the President laid out his health reform plan and challenged Congress to act. OFA volunteers leapt into action, generating hundreds of thousands of signatures and calls to show grassroots support. Now we need to reach out in our communities, spread the facts about the President's plan, and bring new voices of support into Washington.
