Check out new site started by Nancy Skinner to hold the Blue Dogs accountable

[SharonRB]

Nancy sent this out today. Please check out the site, pick a Blue Dog to "hound" about the public option and contribute at the BlueDogHunt page on the Progressive Change Campaign Committee ActBlue page at the "Contribute Here" link.


Friends,


We are in the critical hours for healthcare reform. We all know that a few Democratic Senators are threatening to hold hostage true reform, which must include the public option in order to bring competition into the healthcare market place, reduce premiums and ultimately long-term budget deficits.

The only choice for "fiscally responsible" Senators is the public option because without it, federal spending on healthcare will skyrocket from one in six dollars to one in three. Longterm, our national debt would be close to 400% GDP. That is what we call meltdown.

So the gang at www.nancyskinnerlive.com has created a new site, www.BlueDogHunt.com,which is helping Blue Dogs to "Go Public"! We are identifying Senators who are "on the fence" and sending them a message with our pocketbooks.

We know that giant insurance companies are spending millions to influence them and our message is simple "We will have your back if you have ours!"

Blue Dogs need to do the right thing for the American people and we'll help them get re-elected if they do. We're too close to start over after a new election.

So please visit www.bluedoghunt.com and spread the word, because a 60-vote majority is a terrible thing to waste!

2. LOL

He's a hound dawg!

Thanks for signing up and forwarding. We really want to build up funds on the ActBlue page that go to the PCCC. The idea is that we want the Blue Dogs to see that if they act like real Democrats, we'll support them, but if they don't, we'll support more progressive candidates to replace them.

4. I am not interested in re-electing Blue Dogs.

[SharonRB]

6. You're missing the point

We only want them to get re-elected if they change their ways. If not, we want more progressive people in their place. Remember, most of these critters come from conservative districts, and if they don't get re-elected, we'll probably get Republicans in their stead.

7. if they don't get re-elected we will get Republicans instead??

So that is an argument FOR re-electing Blue Dogs, then.

And if the Blue dogs vote the same way as the Repugs, why would I want to donate to them?
All politician are good at hiding their stripes when it comes to campaign again.
These dogs have shown their true colors, why would I trust them come election time?

8. Sounds like a great idea
