A Message From Congressman Anthony Weiner
No sooner did we pass health care reform in the House of Representatives than the commentators began predicting it wouldn’t pass the Senate. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham even declared it “dead on arrival.”
It should come as no surprise that a Republican senator who has pledged to fight real health care reform would try to stop our progress. What is a shock is that Senator Joe Lieberman is continuing his campaign to kill the public option despite claiming to be concerned about costs.
The public option increases choice, adds competition and, according to the Congressional bean counters, saves more than $100 billion.
I challenged Senator Joe Lieberman to a debate this morning. Check out the video here.
Keep up the pressure, our petition campaign is now targeting the Senate, so get your friends on board.
Anthony
