| 11. This is first hand reporting from a DKos member. |

He is being told by those answering phones that both the White House and the congresscritters are receiving more anti-public option calls than pro.
It takes only a few minutes to call and/or email. You don't need to write a book. A couple of sentences will do, such as: "I support a public healthcare option. is the only way to guarantee healthcare for all Americans and it must be included in the Democrats Healthcare bill."
