Dear Friend,

Sen. Lieberman has indicated he plans to join with Republicans to filibuster any health care bill that contains a public option. Alone, the Republicans don't have the votes for a filibuster.

Dear Friend,

Sen. Lieberman has indicated he plans to join with Republicans to filibuster any health care bill that contains a public option. Alone, the Republicans don't have the votes for a filibuster. So by joining with them, Lieberman would be tipping the balance of power in order to sink health care reform.

We need to push the leaders of the Democratic caucus to take a tough stand against Lieberman. Last year, an anonymous member of the Senate Democratic leadership said about Lieberman: "We need every vote. He's with us on everything but the war."

Now is the time for Senate Democratic leadership -- Senators Reid, Schumer and Durbin -- to stop making excuses for Joe Lieberman. Harry Reid has shown great leadership in writing a health care bill that includes the public option. But Joe Lieberman is not "with us" on everything but the war. Joe Lieberman's position is against Senate Democrats, against his constituents in Connecticut and against the will of the American public.

I just signed a petition to asking the Senate Democratic leadership to make sure actions have consequences. Any senator who filibusters the public option does not deserve a chairmanship and should be removed from his or her post. Please have a look and take action.
