Click the link to sign the letter to bring healthcare reform including the public option to a vote and passage by Congress.
We continue to build momentum proving the votes exist in the Senate to pass a public option using reconciliation, which requires only 50 votes plus Vice President Biden.
In only two weeks, we've gone from zero to 34 senators on the record. Eight Senators -- including Dick Durbin, the second-highest ranking Senate Democrat -- just this week. These Senators heard your phone calls and now they're helping lead the charge for the public option.
Thanks to your hard work, no other way forward on healthcare reform has more united support. The majority of Senate Democrats, the majority of House Democrats, and the majority of Americans all agree: It's time to pass a public option using reconciliation.
CO-SIGN THE LETTER CALLING FOR A PUBLIC OPTION USING RECONCILIATION

Day after day, we're naming names and proving the votes exist for the public option in reconciliation.
Some Democrats in Washington, including White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, keep saying the votes aren’t there, but they won't name the Senate Democrats who are villains of real reform.
It's time for Robert Gibbs and the White House to name names and be transparent about which Democrats are actually opposed to the public option. They have a responsibility to tell the country who is undermining the will of the American public -- who overwhelmingly support the public option over the Senate bill that lacks one.
ADD YOUR NAME TODAY
Democrats will pass healthcare reform this year. It's up to us to make sure it includes the most popular piece of reform.
Thank you for everything you do.
