I quote this entire from pds_lit

Ya know, morons seem to be everywhere. Take for instance the GOP Minority Leader John Boehner who told a reporter:

"I'm still trying to find the first American to talk to who's in favor of the public option, other than a member of Congress or a member of the administration. I've not talked one and I get to a lot of places. I've not had anyone come up to me -- I know I'm inviting them -- and lobby for the public option. This is about as unpopular as a garlic milkshake."

Well go sign this petition to let him know that there are Americans who think a public option is a good idea:

Done that? If so, you'll get a confirmation that says:
Why don't you give him a call, too, and fill up his voicemail. Here's his number:
(202) 225-6205

I hate making phone calls, especially cold calls to politicians, but I figured, what the heck--it's just a voice mail message...Um well, I got a live staff member and I was so taken aback, I almost hung up but instead said I was an American citizen from the state of NY and that I just wanted to let Mr. Boehner know that although he doesn't seem to be aware of it, some people DO support the public option, and I'm one of them. The young man thanked me and we hung up. So go and call NOW.
