Subject: URGENT! Calls Needed TONIGHT.

Reply-To: notice-reply-xbegbie4h73x8t36@...

URGENT! Tell Senator Reid: "Support Amendment No. 2837" The US Senate healthcare reform process is clearly off the rails, with proposals being thrown about willy-nilly.  Meanwhile, an elegant, efficient, and politically expedient amendment awaits its vote: The Medicare-for-all, single-payer Sanders Amendment No. 2837 should have gone before the body for debate last weekend. Funny thing, though. In spite of Sen. Harry Reid's statement that he would get to amendments "in numeric order," the Sanders amendment keeps getting bypassed. Senator Reid gave no explanation for this. We've been through this before. We had promises from the House leadership that the Weiner Amendment for single-payer would receive a full debate and go to a vote. We know how that worked out.  Senator Reid must follow through on his promise to hold the debate this Tuesday as promised! Unless we act now, Senator Reid can easily argue that he's skipping over this amendment due to a lack of public hue and cry. We can't let this happen. Tell Senator Reid in no uncertain terms that a full debate and vote on Sen. Bernie Sanders' Amendment No. 2837 is absolutely essential. Senator Sanders' amendment, cosponsored by Sens. Sherrod Brown and Roland Burris, gives states the power to enact single-payer programs with federal funding. It has everything a state single-payer bill needs: one plan that covers health, mental, dental, vision, and long-term care. Right now the Congressional Budget Office is scoring a plan to establish private, nonprofit health insurance programs run by private companies, with a trigger for a new government insurance plan if the private plans are not "acceptable." Let the American people decide what's "acceptable" before everything falls to the insurance and pharmaceutical industries and their influence over the Senate. Tell Harry Reid that this amendment matters.

Subject: California Democratic Party - Afghanistan

Read Norman Solomon's piece about the CDP  resolution just passed at the  November Executive Board meeting. The Resolution is titled  "End the U.S. Occupation and Air War in Afghanistan." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/norman-solomon/biggest-state-party-to-ob_b_359149.html ###################

This past Saturday, the San Francisco Chronicle published an opinion piece by Susan Gluss that I though you all might be interested in. Peace and Friendship, John The Obama speech I wanted to hear By Susan Gluss San Francisco Chronicle PUBLISHED SATURDAY, DEC. 5, 2009 A blitz of commentators from both sides of the aisle opined after President Obama's Afghanistan speech. Republicans complained that we tipped our hand by announcing a 2011 withdrawal, while most congressional Democrats applauded faintly. But opinions didn't matter to me; all that mattered was that we committed 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan. Discouraged, I realized, finally, that it's not the president - it's the culture of our state. The U.S. government makes war. Nearly every president gets swept up in it, and Obama is no exception. He's one of the most intelligent, thoughtful, democratic presidents elected in my lifetime; a man of integrity with a vision of our country's possibilities. Yet he still sends troops to Afghanistan. As the airwave chatter began to fade, I started to imagine the kind of speech I wanted to hear. I pictured President Obama striding up to the podium, a vision of calm and resolve. He places his hands on the dais in front of him, looks up, and slowly begins to speak in a strong, clear voice: "My fellow Americans, contrary to news reports, I've decided not to send additional troops to Afghanistan. The toll is too great for our country, crippled by job losses, foreclosures and rising health care costs. I've decided to take the hundreds of billions that the war could cost over the next few years and spend it on public projects to benefit us all." I imagined dropped jaws of laid-off workers as Obama promised to build free science and technology schools in Detroit to train a new generation failed by a dying auto industry; to open new arts and dance centers in Newark, Los Angeles and Philadelphia to the delighted surprise of beleaguered parents and troubled kids. A promise to launch free health care clinics across Appalachia to the relief of its poorest families; and a promise to buy back mortgages of foreclosed homes so families could get their houses back. I imagined students slapping high-fives and cheering as the president vowed to finance college educations. I pictured stunned faces and cries of delight as the president ticked off a list of public works projects to preserve our national parks and protect our nation's clean water supplies, while employing America's neediest. Was it too much to hope that the president would choose to rebuild our country and reject a culture of war? Don't tell me Afghanistan is a war of "necessity" because of the 9/11 attacks that killed nearly 3,000 civilians. We've already lost some 5,200 troops in Iraq and Afghanistan in retaliation for that 2001 attack, with tens of thousands severely maimed for life-not including aid workers, journalists, civilian contractors, coalition partners and Iraqi and Afghan women and children. Enough already. We bail out banks, prop up failed corporations, and build weapons - but we don't take care of our own. It'll be up to philanthropists, nonprofit foundations, and charities to do what our country cannot: support our schools, our unemployed and our families in need.

Hi Shirley -

I need your help right now  - word on the Hill is that Harry Reid is trying to cut a deal for triggers.  We need to immediately raise money to make a big move against Harry Reid in his home state of Nevada.  

 

Can you please donate $25 or more right now?

 

http://www.actblue.com/page/reconciliation?refcode=email1203

 

It's all on Harry Reid if the public option is killed.  He has the power to make sure it passes using reconciliation for majority rule.  If he takes out the public option, it's because he's too weak to stand up to the insurance companies.  

 

More than 33,000 of you signed our petition urging Reid to use reconciliation to pas the public option, raising over $15,000 to keep the fight going. 

 

We want to ramp up the pressure on Reid, but we need at least $40,000 to do it. Donate now to help us make a big move against Harry Reid.

 

We're almost halfway there, and time is running out.  Help us tell Harry Reid that if he can't get corrupt Democrats in line, he needs to pass a public option with a simple, majority vote. Please contribute now to make this message heard in Nevada.  Click here:

Thank you for all that you do.

Pitt says, "I also never thought he was going to be any kind of progressive panacea. His party has a solid majority in Congress, but that majority is stuffed with a motley collection of the most craven bought-and-paid-for jellyfish in the history of modern politics, so in a lot of ways, having a majority made up of scoundrels and wastrels is no kind of advantage at all. His voting record in the Senate was not some sort of liberal light show - he was down the middle almost all the way - so I never expected him to come barnstorming in and immediately withdraw from Iraq and Afghanistan while giving free and full health care to every man of woman born ... and even if he tried, the aforementioned bucketheads in Congress, and their unimaginably powerful financial backers, would have laughed him out of the room.

(there is a reference in here to an article about all the good things Obama has accomplished - <http://www.truthout.org/1201093> )

I'm with you Mr Pitt - as long as you remember the so-called "Centrists" are really out of touch with the new, almost silent, majority.

Urgent action needed on healthcare reform

As the Senate begins debate on the most sweeping health care reform of our generation, we must empower our senators to remain strong and in favor of legislation that supports CSEA’s health care goals. Pease take the time to contact Senators Feinstein and Boxer and urge them to support the Sanders Amendment.

Call your senators today
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (202) 224-3841
Sen. Barbara Boxer (202) 224-3553

Dear Senators Feinstein and Boxer:

As you continue the important debate over reforming our nation's health care system, we are calling to urge you to support Senator Sanders' substitute amendment, S 703. The Sanders amendment marks a combination of the most efficient means of paying for health care through public financing and delivery through private health care providers. California's school districts would save millions of dollars, and every employee would have access to quality affordable health care.

Additionally, we would support any new amendment that would contain language allowing states to opt in to a single-payer system and be able to do so with the appropriate waivers from federal legal provisions which might otherwise present obstacles.

We strongly oppose any tax on employer-paid health benefits. Taxing health benefits will raise costs for workers when they need relief the most. Capping the tax exclusion based on the cost of the plan will increase costs for most workers in small school districts, older workers, and workers with family coverage.

We request that you support the Sanders substitute amendment and support the state single-payer enabling language in the final bill.

Reply-To: fair@...

FAIR NEEDS YOU! Help us keep fighting media bias While some think the Democrats' political advantage in Washington means that progressive change is finally possible, the center-right corporate media are working hard to move the "acceptable conversation" to the right on so many issues, from the housing bubble to ending torture.   When you read or listen to the corporate media discussing health care reform, how often do you hear the words "single-payer"? Or about the war in Afghanistan, "withdrawal"? The corporate media dismisses these ideas as "fringe" or "unrealistic"--before moving on to more newsworthy subjects like right-wing "tea parties" and Sarah Palin's memoir.   FAIR is here every day, exposing the media biases that have so damaged this country. But in order to continue, we badly need your help. $85,000 is our goal--help us get there.   In 2009, FAIR activists have stood up to fight media misinformation:   - Single-Payer healthcare:  The New York Times public editor received more than a thousand letters from FAIR activists about the paper's failure to cover the single-payer option--and said he agreed with our criticism.   - Climate change: When the Washington Post published an error-filled column by conservative George Will, FAIR's letters to the Post demanded that the paper explain how such inaccuracies made it into print.   - Afghanistan: FAIR has documented the near-blackout of peace voices in the debate over escalating the war in Afghanistan.   We joined with other activists to demand accountability at CNBC for its cheerleading of the financial bubble. We spoke up when the public TV show Frontline left single-payer out of its report on the U.S. health care system. We catalogued the racism of Rush Limbaugh and the immigrant-bashing of Lou Dobbs.   That's what FAIR delivered to you all year--for free.   But there's much more to FAIR than this email list. Our weekly radio show CounterSpin is the best half-hour of media criticism you'll hear anywhere. The FAIR Blog provides daily critiques of media misinformation. Our magazine Extra! brings readers a monthly dose of in-depth criticism and studies, much of which is available FREE on our website.    The economic meltdown has hit us hard. We've scaled back, and even shrunk our staff. But no amount of belt-tightening will keep us going without the ongoing support of people like you. We critically need your help now to keep FAIR strong in 2010.   Please help FAIR raise $85,000 by the end of the year.    Supporting FAIR is a safe, tax-deductible investment--we will use every dollar we receive to bring you the information you need to make sense of the media madness.   We're counting on you.  From everyone at FAIR,  Peter, Janine, Jim, Steve, Julie, Deborah and Sanford Unsubscribe from this list If you were forwarded this message and you want to receive future FAIR alerts delivered directly to you, subscribe by clicking here.

Reply-To: firedoglakeaction@...

Sign our petition to Harry Reid: Reconciliation = Majority Rule "The power to pass a public option is yours alone.  Don't let corrupt Democratic senators owned by insurance industry lobbyists kill the public option and block majority rule.  "Get corrupt Democrats in line, or use reconciliation to pass a public option with a majority vote."  Click here to sign our petition. Hi Shirley - The Senate starts debating health care next week.  But if it passes without a public option, there's only one person to blame: Harry Reid. As the majority leader of the Senate, the power to pass a public option is squarely in Reid's hands.  Will Reid let three or four corrupt Senators owned by the insurance industry hold the public option hostage?  Or will he use the reconciliation process to allow a simple majority vote on a public option? The choice is Reid's and Reid's alone.  Let's make sure he knows it. Sign our petition to Harry Reid: Get lobbyist-owned Democrats in line, or use reconciliation to pass a public option. Click here to sign: http://action.firedoglake.com/reconciliation During debate in the Senate this weekend, a handful of corrupt Democratic senators like Blanche Lincoln and Mary Landrieu, who have taken big donations from insurance companies, promised to vote against health care if it included a public option.[1] If Harry Reid can't get them in line for a simple procedural vote, then he can use "reconciliation" and call for a majority vote on the public option.  Otherwise, Harry Reid is using his power as Majority Leader to allow a handful of corrupt senators thwart the democratic process.  We can't let that happen. Let Harry Reid know the public option rests on his shoulders.  Click here to sign our petition: http://action.firedoglake.com/reconciliation We know who the corrupt Democrats are working for -- the insurance companies want to kill the public option once and for all.  Goldman Sachs expects insurance stocks to rise by 59% in 10 years if there is no public option, but drop by 36% if there is one.  That's what happens when nobody likes your product.  Their fat profits depend on being the only game in town.[2] The American people understand that.  That's why 72% support a public option, to end insurance monopolies, increase competition and control the crushing burden of health care costs for American families.[3]  A majority in the Senate understands that, too -- that's why 51 have said they will vote for a bill with a public option.[4] It comes down to a simple question: will Harry Reid allow for majority rule?  Or will he let corrupt members of his own caucus block a majority of the public and Congress who want a public option? Sign our petition to Reid: whip the corrupt ConservaDems into line, or use reconciliation to give Americans what they want and pass a public option.

Subject: Urgent Fax Action NOW: Conyers Says Health Care Bill Smells Bad, New Video, Name Your Price Activist Gifts and More

As we promised this week's new "I'm A Democrat, I'm A Republican" 

(like there's a difference) videos on health care, this one subtitled 

"Ear Muffs", is up now on the fax action page at 

Health Care Fax Action Page: 

http://www.peaceteam.net/action/pnum1020.php 

So please, watch the new "Ear Muffs" video, and submit the action 

page, AGAIN even if you did it last week too. We need to keep the 

pressure up to stop these awful worthless bills, and get real health 

care reform instead. 

Because it's now official, the health care bills Congress is trying 

to pass stink to high heaven. Today John Conyers said that 

"progressives held their nose" in voting for it. But we didn't send 

them to Washington to hold their noses, we sent them there to get out 

there fight for good public policy. And they'd better start 

listening. But first, we need to speak out in greater and greater 

numbers. 

And the Senate is working on something even worse, a bill that is 

even weaker than the one from the House, that won't even really kick 

in for 5 YEARS, like they think they can sneak through a couple more 

elections before we notice the sstench. It's just a replay of the 

phony credit card reform bill, only with 5 times as long for the 

medical insurance companies to keep gouging us before the big nothing 

takes effect. 

We need each and every one of our participants to help us spread the 

word about these videos as far and wide as possible, so we can get 

more and more people to speak out. If you have a website, or a web 

page of any kind, there code at the top of the fax action page you 

can put on your own site or page, so people can watch the latest 

video right there. 

Health Care Fax Action Page: 

http://www.peaceteam.net/action/pnum1020.php 

And here is the link direct to the YouTube video, but it is MUCH 

better to send people direct to the action page, where the free fax 

submission form is right there. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Vx3khPQD28 

And if you are looking to fill up holiday stockings on a tight 

budget, help yourself to any of our activist gifts for a donation of 

any amount. And we will rush whatever you want out to you first class 

so you'll have it in time for the holidays. 

We now have three different progressive policy advocacy caps in 

stock, the "Single Payer Health Care" cap, the classic "Convict Dick 

& W" cap, and the new "350 pp" cap, to speak out for real action on 

climate change. Plus, we've still got some of the Dennis Kucinich 

pocket constitutions too. 

Activist Holiday Gifts: http://www.peaceteam.net/all_gifts.php 

And while you are at it, give the gift of peace with the dramatic new 

peace play on audio CD, featuring an extraordinary performance by Ed 

Asner, that was such a hit in its worldwide debut last month. And we 

still have the impeachment play DVDs, from a full stage production 

last year. For these two items there is NO minimum donation ever. All 

you have to do is request one, and we'll you one for free. 

And here is the one click Facebook page for this same fax action. 

Single Payer Amendments Action: 

http://apps.facebook.com/fb_voices/action.php?qnum=pnum1020 

And the Twitter reply to send, to send this message to all your 

members of Congress that way, is 

@cxs #p1020 

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed 

to be ours, and forward this alert as widely as possible.

Subject: 1 Turncoat Senator vs. 410,649 Americans

Reply-To: "Jim Dean, Democracy for America" <info@...>

Shirley -  First, the good news: Senator Harry Reid has finally presented the text of the merged Senate bill and started procedures to pass the first set of votes as soon as this weekend. The public option is in the bill as promised and, even better, it has not been further weakened -- instead it's almost the exact same as the version passed by the late Senator Ted Kennedy's H.E.L.P. Committee earlier this year.  The bad news is that it only takes one Senator from the Democratic Caucus to support a Republican filibuster and kill the whole bill. To make it worse, Republicans are expected to filibuster the bill at every step in the processes so there will be many chances for betrayal by a turncoat in the Democratic Caucus. Today's the day we need to deliver our message loud and clear. If ANY member of the Democratic Caucus joins a Republican filibuster of healthcare reform with a public option, the Caucus must immediately strip that Senator of all Committee Chairmanships. Since we launched this campaign just three weeks ago, MoveOn members have joined us in demanding accountability. Now, we're merging our campaign with signatures gathered by our friends at CREDO Action and the Progressive Change Campaign Committee too and together we're ready to deliver signatures for 410,649 Americans today.  SIGN UP TO DELIVER PETITIONS TO YOUR SENATOR It was only three months ago when the public option was declared dead and we were all told to accept defeat.  Now, we're only weeks away from finishing what we started on March 25, when my brother Howard and I launched the Stand with Dr. Dean campaign. We stood up to draw a line in the sand, demanding inclusion of a public option in any healthcare bill passed this year and you stood with us.  You got the public option this far, now we need to bring it home to win.  We can't let one Turncoat Senator kill the bill. Take the time out of your day -- over your lunch break -- on your way home from work -- tomorrow on your way to work -- as soon as you can -- and deliver the signatures to your Senators.  SIGN UP TO DELIVER NOW  I'm counting on you. Because, when we work together, we're unstoppable.  Thank you for everything you do,  -Jim  Jim Dean, Chair  Democracy for America
