Sam,
As candidate, President Obama promised us that healthcare negotiations would be covered by C-SPAN "so that the American people can see what the choices are."
So much for promises. As Speaker Pelosi laughingly responded this week when asked about the President's C-SPAN promise: "There are a number of things he was for on the campaign trail."
Today, leaders from the House and Senate are meeting with White House officials behind closed doors to finalize healthcare legislation, but C-SPAN and all of us are shut out.
But you can help do something about it. Will you call your Senator and ask him or her to stand by the President's promise to let C-SPAN in and cover the healthcare negotiations?
As a candidate, President Obama said we should "not underestimate the degree to which ...you can shame Congress into doing the right thing if people know what's going on."
Maybe he was right. Maybe we can shame Congress into doing the right thing.
Please call today.
Sincerely,
Dan Varroney
COO & Senior Vice-President

P.S. Did you hear the news that California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has reversed his support for healthcare legislation? In a speech yesterday before the California legislature, Schwarzenegger said this: "Now, as you know, while I enthusiastically supported health care reform, it is not reform to push more costs onto states that are already struggling while other states are getting sweetheart deals. Health care reform, which started as noble and needed legislation, has become a trough of bribes, deals and loopholes. Yet you've heard of the bridge to nowhere. Well, this is health care to nowhere."
