The Senate Finance Commitee is set to vote on the public option tomorrow (Tuesday, Sept. 28th).  This will be a critical vote and all the committee members need to be contacted now.  Members include:

THOMAS CARPER, DE

JOHN CORNYN, TX  

Tomorrow, Senator Ron Wyden will be voting on the public health insurance option—can you call his office right away?

Here's what's happening:

The Senate Finance Committee, of which Sen. Wyden is a member, is debating an awful health care bill that doesn't include the public option—the key to expanding coverage and bringing down costs.

Progressives have offered amendments that would add the public option to the bill, and the committee will begin voting on them tomorrow. Meanwhile, conservatives are pushing a bogus "trigger" amendment that would kill the public option through indefinite delay.

So we've got to show Sen. Wyden that his constituents are demanding real health care reform with a strong public health insurance option that's available immediately. Tell him to vote "yes" on the public option amendments, and "no" on the trigger.

Here's where to call:

Senator Ron Wyden
Phone: 202-224-5244

I both called Senator Wyden's office and faxed him this letter.

Please call your members of Congress NOW even if you have done it before. 

Time is running short.
