I just got great news that our President has spoken out to the legislators that the Public Option is a "must" for health care reform! This is a direct result of our feedback, to the top people of Organizing for America, that all of you have spoken up for this option. Thank you all for your input! Our President took action to make your voices heard before he began his trip to the Middle East and Europe this week.
Now, please, if you have not done so yet and have an hour or two to spare , sign up for a Health Care Reform Kickoff Meeting, to host (we'll help you organize it!) or attend: http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/hckickoff
In our Bainbridge Island meeting, we will be hand-writing letters to both our senators and to our Representative Jay Inslee, stating we want the Public Option With No Trigger. As you may have heard, some Democrats in the Senate starting with the top Dem on the Finance Committe, Sen. Baucus, proposed a "trigger": It gives 7 years to private health insurers to meet new standards "or else" the Public Option takes effect. Every single one of you I've spoken with said you don't want the trigger, you want the Public Option now.
Let's write and work and break bread together. If you're in Bainbridge Island, bring a refreshment or quick simple (hopefully healthy) treat to share, write what you're bringing in your RSVP:

Thus far, at the Bainbridge Island meeting, we have a green salad, a broccoli salad, a fruit salad, and muffins. We need refreshments. I'll order a goat-cheese pizza from The Treehouse Cafe. And I'll have copies of President Obama's pro-public option statements to share!
