Up or Down Vote for the Public Option

Give the Public Option a Full Senate Vote

The public option will provide Coloradans much-needed competition and choice for health care. And with the majority of Senators, Congressmen, and the American people supporting a public option, its passage would seem inevitable.

But the quiet threat of a filibuster effectively holds the public option hostage.

If you agree that the public option deserves an up-or-down
vote in the Senate, then please sign our letter below.

Add your name:

Dear United States Senators,

As Colorado's elected officials and concerned Americans, we urge you not to filibuster the public option.

A public option is a crucial part of real reform. It would inject choice and competition into our health care system, both of which are lacking now. Moreover, it is backed by a majority of Senators, Representatives, and the American people.

Even if you oppose a public option, we urge you not to hold it hostage with the threat of the filibuster. Stand up for the people, not the insurance industry, and give the public option the up-or-down vote it deserves.

Sincerely,

Sen. Michael Bennet, Gov. Bill Ritter, Sen. Mark Udall, and the Undersigned
