SENATOR REID, THANK YOU FOR STANDING WITH SENATOR DODD
In Connecticut, we are standing behind Senator Dodd, our champion in the health care fight. By supporting his efforts to put a public health insurance option in the Senate bill, something the vast majority of Americans support,1 you have shown the kind of leadership that we need to get this done.
For standing with our senior senator, Chris Dodd, you deserve our thanks.
Connecticut stands behind you and will work with you to keep up the fight for health care reform with a public health insurance option - not a trigger - and quality, affordable health care for everyone. There are a lot of issues still to be worked out in the Senate health care bill, like true affordability, employer responsibility, and fair financing of reform. And there's a lot of distance to go before we reach the finish line. Senator Reid, as you continue to stand with Senator Dodd and fighting for all of us, we'll keep standing with you.
We, the undersigned residents of Connecticut, urge you on behalf of the 68% of our neighbors that want a public health insurance option to ignore Senator Lieberman’s threats to side with the Republicans and insurance companies in blocking real reform and to use the reconciliation process to pass the Kennedy/Dodd public option if necessary.
