Roland Burris is the key to killing the bill

[WeDidIt]

He has no electoral aspirations any longer. come January of 2011, he's done.

He promised he would vote against any HCR bill without a public option.

Time to keep him to his word. Contact Roland Burris and ask him to join with Republicans to kill the bill via filibuster.

3. IF his offices are inundated with people telling him he'd be a progressive hero

he'd do it.

Believe me.

5. No joke

If we can get progressives from around the country telling him he'd e a progressive hero by killing the bill, he'd do it.

Play to the man's ego as his ego is as large as the combined egos of the other 99 Senators.

8. I think it's worth a shot.

9. Obama is the key...

From his weekly radio address this past July:

"ny plan I sign must include an insurance exchange: a one-stop shopping marketplace where you can compare the benefits, cost and track records of a variety of plans - including a public option to increase competition and keep insurance companies honest - and choose what's best for your family."

10. Amen! This bill needs to go down in flames. It's worse than doing nothing.

Thanks for the tip on Burris. I'll send him a letter.

:dem:

11. Hmm.... I dont think Mr. Burris would do that unless the bill is really trash

He seems like a nice guy I hope he runs and wins in 2010.
