Senator Patty Murray's Seattle office seems particularly upset they are being "phonebanked" by Progressives.

What is the actuarial value? What are the premiums? What are the qualifications to enroll in it? Are doctors mandated to accept it? What medical procedures will it plan on covering? Who actually runs and administers it (subs?)? What rates will it pay out for services?

Just curious.

She (and her staff) should be used to hearing from us by now. Maria too, for that matter although she's actually got more of them right than Patty recently, and she's "supposed to be" the DLC corporatist. :crazy:

He said she is not signing the letter but not ruling it out at some point.

not signing but not ruling it out -- WTF?

He said "sound advice" to a number of my comments but was somewhat resistant to acknowledge the complexity of Progressive positions or the importance of appearances in shaping public support and supporting activism.

pissed at them.

When I asked if she had signed and the aide said "no" it was all I could to not to scream "why the fuck not????"

Tomorrow I'll ask WHEN we can expect to hear from them, as we feel it's our right to know how the people we voted for are thinking. Not that the message will be passed along, but it'll make me feel better.

Patty Murray's chief of staff said the meeting Thursday to discuss strategy is going to be very important. They seem to think the delay is strategically important to the cause. Don't let up.

if we DON'T get what we want, I won't be kicking myself saying "I should have..." :hi:
