Democrats Demand Obama Keep Government Health Plan - Yahoo! News

Democrats Demand Obama Keep Government Health Plan - Yahoo! News:

"President Barack Obama is facing pressure from fellow Democrats to keep a government-run insurance plan in a health-care overhaul, with House lawmakers threatening to withhold support without it.

“To take the public option off the table would be a grave error,” leaders of the 83-member Congressional Progressive Caucus said in a letter last night to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. “Passage in the House of Representatives depends upon inclusion of it.”

The Democratic lawmakers also attached a July 30 letter from 60 party members to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that said any legislation that didn’t contain a government plan was “unacceptable.”"

Tuesday: Show your support in Chicago




 
Organizing for America
Fred --

I wanted to send you an urgent invitation to an important town hall with Rep. Jesse Jackson this Tuesday, August 18th, that he is hosting for his constituents of the 2nd Congressional District. He'll be talking to constituents and gathering feedback -- this is an ideal opportunity to make sure your support for health insurance reform is seen and heard at exactly the right time.

Our congressional representatives are back home this month, and they're facing more and more pressure from special interests on health insurance reform. It's critical that we get out there and show them where we stand.

I hope you can join us:

What: Town Hall with
Rep. Jesse Jackson

Where: Sheldon Heights Church of Christ
11249 S. Halsted Street
Chicago, IL 60628

When: Tuesday, August 18th
Start Time: 6:00 p.m.

Our representatives are under attack by Washington insiders, insurance companies, and well-financed special interests who don't go a day without spreading lies and stirring up fear. We need to show that we're sick and tired of it, and that we're ready for real change, this year.

Please arrive early to the town hall, and make sure that the most powerful voices in this debate are those calling for real reform, not angrily clamoring for the status quo.

Thanks,

Dave

Conservatives push Reagan's 1961 attacks on "socialized medicine" but ignore that he was criticizing Medicare
On August 14, the Drudge Report, Rush Limbaugh, and O'Reilly Factor guest host Laura Ingraham featured a recording of Ronald Reagan speaking in 1961 against "socialized medicine" for the American Medical Association's Operation Coffee Cup Campaign against Medicare. Neither Drudge, Limbaugh, nor Ingraham, however, noted that Reagan was speaking out against an early version of Medicare, which has become very popular since it was enacted 44 years ago, or that Reagan's dire predictions of curtailments of freedom were never realized.

Wash. Times defends "fact-based" editorials comparing Obama to Nazis

ABC's John Stossel will reportedly moderate three "town hall-style" "health care meetings" organized by the Wisconsin chapter of the conservative group Americans for Prosperity and intended to increase "pressure" on the state's Democratic members of Congress on health care reform. Stossel has recently reported on health care issues on ABC's 20/20, which he co-anchors; that report included criticisms of the purported health care reform goals of President Obama and Democratic members of Congress.

New conspiracy theory: Conservative media baselessly suggest email recipients may be on WH "enemies list"
Conservative media have baselessly suggested that people who reportedly claim to have received unsolicited email from White House adviser David Axelrod may have been added to a White House "enemies list" after emails they sent that were critical of the Obama administration were purportedly forwarded to flag@whitehouse.gov. These media figures have failed to provide any credible evidence in support of this conspiracy theory. Read More
