Senator Landrieu, What A Naughty Woman from Louisiana
Last August, when the public option was declared dead by insider Democrats and the media, DAA members knew better. We knew, if we kept the pressure on, we could back up House progressives and deliver real reform with a public option.
We were right.
On Saturday night the House of Representatives passed a public option by majority vote. Now, all eyes turn to the Senate. With only a few weeks before the full Senate votes on healthcare, we have the majority votes needed to pass real reform with a public option. The one possible roadblock is a Republican filibuster. But Republicans can’t stop the bill on their own. They need at least one member of the 60-Senator Democratic Caucus to join them to kill reform.
We’re not pulling punches. We need to turn up the pressure on any senator who might be a Turncoat Democrat who supports a Republican filibuster.It’s time to bring back our hard-hitting ad pressuring Senator Mary Landrieu of Louisiana to support a public option. If we raise 0,000 by Thursday, we can blanket the airwaves and turn up the pressure for Mary Landrieu back home before she screws everything up worse.
With your support, we’ll hit the airwaves in Louisiana with our hard-hitting 60 second T.V. ad. featuring Karen Gadbois, one of Landrieu’s constituents, a DFA member, and a local hero for her work exposing corruption after Katrina. She shares her compelling story about how the public option would impact her life and asks Senator Landrieu to choose whose side she’s on.
Karen’s story is very heartfelt and personal. It highlights a real American who needs real reform. And it’s the kind of high pressure ad that no senator wants run against them — especially during an election year.
Senator Landrieu has a choice to make. Stand with the Democratic Caucus against a Republican filibuster and we’ll stop running the ad. But stand with Republicans to kill healthcare reform and this ad is only the beginning.
Saturday was a big day, but this fight isn’t over. We’re turning up the pressure and pulling out all the stops to win. And it’s going to happen because of you.
Thank you for everything you do.
