Former Lawmakers and Congressional Staffers Hired to Lobby on Health Care - washingtonpost.com
I find it very interesting that the Health Care Lobby is spending $1.4 mil a day to help influence. islation. We are in a battle for the Public Option plan as well as the public good. Many of you may know, Sen. Max Bachus, Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee is being lobbied by his ex chiefs of staff David Castagnetti and Jeff Forbes representing big time clients in the PhRMA, and Insurance industries (see article above). Congress should pass an ethics law preventing this for at least several years
It is important for us to get this information out to those who will take action. We must do our part to put pressure on Congress (phone and write your Senators and Congressman, send letters to your local newspapers) to let them know that there will be a penalty for those who vote against the Public Option.
We must passionately support the legislation found below in this blog. The special interest groups are betting that we will not be as motivated as they are to pass legislation which will insure all of us are covered, cost is reduced, and quality improved. That's why the battle is on. Do your part and we can win.
