Tell Rahm Emanuel: We will NOT vote for you in future elections. We support bold progressives, not weak Dems.
"I will not support Rahm Emanuel in any future election for Congress, Mayor of Chicago, Governor, or other office. He sold us out on the public option and is a weak Democrat who caves instead of fighting conservatives and corporate power. We won't forget the choices you've made, Rahm."
The New York Times reported:
Joseph Lieberman, the independent Connecticut senator, had announced on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that he would not support the Senate health care plan, which meant that Reid did not have the 60 votes he needed [for a public option compromise]... “He double-crossed me,” Reid said stiffly, associates later recounted. “Let’s not do what he wants..."
Rahm Emanuel, the president’s chief of staff, arrived at Reid’s office not long afterward — casually dressed, a cup of coffee in one hand — and after a brisk meeting, a decision was reached: Reid would abandon his compromise, which was intended to appease proponents of a government-run health insurance plan.
Please sign the pledge to the right -- letting Rahm Emanuel and all Democrats know: We support bold progressives, not weak Democrats. Rahm Emanuel is the essence of a weak Democrat who loves to cave to corporations and Republicans.
