Is anyone going to organize a large DC demonstration for public option?
First of all, those of you who think Obama has already given up, or the game is over, I suggest you read a newspaper about the legislative process, like the NY Times coverage. Just getting two bills in each house, they predict, will take much of the summer.

It seems to me that calling and writing at this point isn't being as effective as it should be considering the scale of public support for a public option.

Has any group proposed a large public demonstration in favor of public option? Obviously it would have to be under a catchier slogan like, "Medicare for all option" or something like that.

If so, would you go?

1. I hope so and I hope they make it a rally to help President Obama
to fulfill the wishes of the people. We need people to get out there and show up.
