Why has Senator Amy Klobuchar abandoned her constiutents on the public option?
Minneapolis citizens ask why.
Reasonable health care reform faces the heavy artillery of the insurance companies billions of bribing dollars.
Isn't it time for congress to take leadership for the people?
WAMM troupe probes for answers.


Sen Klobuchar 612-727-5228 in Minneapolis, DC is 202-224-3244. Give her a call.

1. Klobuchar

Thanks for the post. I don't do video because my connection sucks(3g) but we need to put heat on her.

2. Remember Most Red State Democrats(Conservative Democrats

especially) do not run as Democrats. Instead they compete
with Republicans for Business, Rich, Upper Middle Class
moving down the Socio-economic scale into the middle class
for enough votes to win.

Therefore, many are being loyal to their constituents --Business
the Rich, Upper Middle etc.

Could Klobuchar fall into this group of Democrats???

6. Klobuchar is a Corporate Democrat

she was groomed by the Democrat machine. We are DFL here in MN. Democrat Farm Labor. She is just another Corporatcrat. We hope a Progressive DFL runs against her.

3. She has been the worst senator

we could ever have. She doesn't answer emails. She doesn't help with questions you ask. In fact she ignores us. I read an article where she has accepted millions for insurance companies and big business.

I tell you one thing I am so darn glad that Franken won, at least we will have some representation.

9. She had an assistant call me one time for follow up on an email and she was dumb as a box of rocks.

11. I met her at the State Fair last summer and asked her about the

public option and she said something about medicare reimbursement. I said it was a giveaway to the insurance corporations if there wasn't a public option and she said, "Oh, you understand that." Like we are NOT supposed to understand that!

15. I will not vote for a Repub nor an Independent but I hope we find someone else.

17. Same here.

4. Amen to people power. +1

5. Always keep the calls coming to their offices, as when little the power of persistance works...

in the end they'll do anything to make the phone calls stop. With 800 numbers to make it possilbe, it couldn't be easier too. Hello Mr. Lieberman how are you today.

7. What a disappointment

Hadn't realized that about Amy. She's sure not what MN needs.:thumbsdown:

Time for another phone call - I moved away from Fridley, MN years ago, but that's strictly on a need-to-know basis.:evilgrin:

8. She's very slick.

She comes across as this nice, caring person, when she is just a corporatcrat.

10. I met her years ago at a Dem thing with Wellstone there and she didn't impress

me at all. In fact, my recollection was that she didn't seem like she belonged and was "phony". I am saddened as a Dem that she is so ignorant or selfish or whatever it is that she is. She is not doing her job.

12. I attended a town hall on health care organized by my state reps

last week. My state rep, Frank Horenstein, is a strong supporter of attempts to get single-payer going in Minnesota, and others were at least open to the idea.

Amy Klobuchar sent a representative who didn't speak and left immediately after the official proceedings were over. The other pols stayed and talked to attendees, but Amy Klobuchar's representative disappeared with amazing speed.

13. This is exactly what we need to get done. Get the people to nail the Senators.

The Senators are the real fucktards, not the President or even Repubs, we know them very well.

14. I hope she doesn't join Lieberman

what a disappointment she has been

16. At least Franken has been good on healthcare - Minnesota

has one decent senator!
