is the tide turning?

Apparently the White House got inundated yesterday, and the news today looks a little bit different than it did last week.

Robert Reich says, okay, let's keep the momentum going, and calls for a March on Washington:

“We won't get a public option, or anything close to it, unless people who feel strongly about it make a racket.”

The “first step is to be very loud and very vocal: Write, phone, e-mail, your congressional delegation and the White House. Second step: Get others to do the same. Third step: Get voters in Montana, North Dakota, Nebraska, and other states where Blue Dog Dems and wavering Senate Dems live, and have them make a hell of a fuss. Fourth step: March on Washington.”

Lookie here: the Blue Dogs have a handy little "contact us" page. One imagines that if they, like the White House, get a ton of pressure from Democratic voters--especially if the individual members also get a lot of emails, letters, and phone calls from constituents in their state.

Even if the fuckers are too beholding to the insurance companies to be swayed, I bet we can make them verrrry uncomfortable. They deserve it.
