Anti-public option Blasts

Since Congress is going on vacation WITHOUT acting on healthcare the industry will blast their multi-million dollar campaigns of lies into homes across the country. They know that money does BUY votes and enough airtime to repeat lies until they are percieved as truth.

During August we need grassroots actions:
1. Contact Progressive Caucus and tell them NOT to BACK DOWN on their demand for PUBLIC OPTION

2. Contact Blue Dog Democrats and tell them you know that they are taking millions of $$$ from the healthcare and they NEED to vote for a ROBUST PUBLIC OPTION.

3. Coordinate Grassroots Education. We need to expose the lies from the upcoming healthcare industry campaign.
* Distribute fact sheet with the $ amount that members of Congress are getting from the healthcare industry on one side of the fact sheet. On side two of fact sheet counter the messages being blasted by the industry.
