Save the Public Option The Votes ARE there


The conventional wisdom in D.C. is that the public option is dead because it cannot pass the Senate.
That couldn't be more wrong.
There are 51 votes in the Senate to pass the public option if the House goes first and includes it in the reconciliation bill.
The ball is now squarely in Speaker Pelosi's court. The House has already passed the public option once. If she passes the public option through the House again, the votes will be there in the Senate to carry the public option over the finish line.
Let's make sure Speaker Pelosi knows that we'll back her up if she moves forward and puts the public option in the House reconciliation bill.


Call Speaker Pelosi:
Save the public option.
There are 51 votes in the Senate to pass the public option if the House goes first and includes it in the reconciliation bill.
