Blanche Lincoln & Mike Ross
Arkansas Sen. Blanche Lincoln and Rep. Mike Ross are doing the bidding of the insurance industry to block the public health insurance option. But a majority of all Arkansans, and 80% of Arkansas Democrats, support a public option. Lincoln and Ross are out of touch with their constituents, and out of touch with the Democratic Party.
We need you to stand with Arkansas Democrats and help put this ad on the air - can you chip in $25, $50, or even $100?
Fire Hadassah
While Senator Joe Lieberman pledges to vote against the current health care bill, donations to find a cure for cancer are paying the salary of his wife Hadassah Lieberman, former employee of the insurance and pharmaceutical lobbying complex.
Mrs. Lieberman's relationship with Susan G. Komen for the Cure is unethical and misleading.

Kill the Senate Bill
President Obama said the public option "has become a source of ideological contention between the left and right." But, he added, "I didn't campaign on the public option."
President Obama said this Tuesday while defending the indefensible Senate health care bill, which mandates that all Americans buy insurance from private providers.

Audit the Fed
We won an important, early victory in our campaign to audit the Fed. Thousands of FDL Activists signed this letter and helped get the Watt amendment rejected.
According to the Huffington Post, the letter circulated by Firedoglake and signed by progressive leaders like Naomi Klein, Dean Baker, Andy Stern, Richard Trumka, Bill Black and James K. Galbraith was "key" to helping Alan Grayson whip Democratic support to pass the historic Paul-Grayson bill to audit the Federal Reserve. Grayson even quoted from the letter during the Committee debate.

One Voice For Choice
Passing health care reform in this country shouldn't come at the cost of women's reproductive rights, but that's exactly what will happen if Democrats allow the anti-choice Stupak amendment to become law.
We will be phone banking in the districts of Democratic lawmakers who have voted for the Stupak amendment and need your help to keep the momentum going.
Health Care Heroes
These progressive members of Congress are joining together to make sure that any health care bill passing the House of Representatives will include a robust public option -- no co-ops, no triggers.
They stand for what they believe is right, without the support of the party, the leadership or the liberal institutions who should be backing them.
We feel confident that when they time comes, these members will stand strong for us and won't bow to pressure. Please let them know how grateful we are.
