Reply #133: Done, here's what I sent, and intend to write a letter to Baucus, et. al, too..

[Demoiselle]

Dear Mr. President:
I voted for you proudly. I continue to support you proudly, and I have always accepted the pragmatic necessity of political compromise. I'm a lifelong Democrat because I believe that my party has always demonstrated a faith in real solutions and a feeling heart--as you do. But I must tell you that if a meaningful public option in health care is abandoned by my party, it will be painfully clear to me that Democrats, like Republicans, have abandoned the Constitutional requirement that our leaders "promote the general welfare." Abandoned it in favor of the narrow, selfish agendas of the powerful and monied in this country. If this happens, I, in turn will abandon my beloved party and my obligation to participate in the process. It's not a big threat. I'm just one voter and my contributions to political campaigns have been small, certainly compared to those of the insurance companies. But I know I'm not alone in this feeling, and our country cannot afford to lose the participation of those, like me, who have, up to now, had faith in our system. Please don't force us to lose that faith. Please fight with everything you have for the public option.
Thank you.
