We need a Cell Phone Revolution!

When I heard about the Senate hearing on the John Dean conference call, I called Baucus' office and told him we need the "Public Option" passed as part of the Healthcare Bill. This is what Dean is recommending and how I believe it is politically possible to get to Single Payer. But whether you agree with the Public Option approach or believe we can push to go straight to single payer - here's the thing - we can't get there by typing alone. In the absence of a massive healthcare protest on the streets of DC (by the way, I can't understand why we're not doing this?) we need direct and sustained action by the thousands of folks here at DU. So, here's what I suggest. Take out your cell phone and program the direct phone numbers of the key Senators who will ultimately determine what kind of health care we get. This list should include everybody on Baucus' committee as well as your own state senators and perhaps a few others. Now, here's the good part. Call these fucker's repeatedly until we get what we want! If every body on DU does this it will be like a virtual massive DC demonstration right inside the Senate offices! (See, this is more effective than typing messages to each other because the Senators are not on DU reading our comments)

The Cell Phone Revolution! Push the button Spock!

Let's kick this to the top! Everybody call.

Yea, I was having my daily Watergate flashback moment.

Right On! My cell phone is ready! What a great idea. I'll call everyday until every American has the ability to get healthcare coverage.

:hi:

After watching that video with Baucus and Grassley giggling about needing more police - I think we should JAM both their landlines AND their fax lines. THEY need a massive wake up call - and a hard kick in the bits, as well.

kick to the greatest page, btw.

are equal to the lobbyists' roars. Some days I feel hopeful and some days discouraged, but you gotta try, right?
