This afternoon, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other House leaders will make a decision on whether to include a robust public option in the House health care bill.
Pelosi is leading the charge to put the strongest possible public option in the bill, but she needs to be sure she has the votes to pass it on the House floor. According to news reports, she's still a few votes shy, so we've got to act fast.
Representative Jim Costa could be a key vote on the public option. Can you call right away and urge him to stand with Speaker Pelosi and support the most robust public health insurance option—the one called "Medicare plus five"?Here's where to call:
Representative Jim Costa
Local: (559) 495-1620
Washington, D.C.: (202) 225-3341
Meanwhile, the lunch-hour informational picket outside Rep. Costa's Fresno office continues. Want to make your lunch hour today more productive? Join us 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. today, Oct. 23, outside his office at 855 M Street in downtown Fresno.
Let's get it done!
