Help--Who are the Dirty Dems on health care, and how much have they taken from

[Jackpine Radical]

the insurance/HMO/PPO world?

Ben Nelson, for sure.
Mark Baucus.

Who else, and how much did it cost to buy them?

I'm working on other things & don't have much time to hunt this stuff down today, but I want to use this information in a campaign to jerk their chains a little.

2. This link should help.

http://vote.wewantthepublicoption.com/p-auto-email-2 Scroll down to see who those selfish Dirty Dems are who don't want the public option for the "little people." (LIEberman is one of them even though he now calls himself an I. When will he change his party to R?)

3. Don't forget to research the spouses of the Senators.

Senator Evan Bayh's wife Susan sits on numerous health care related boards.

4. Go to the Open Secrets website. It has all the information on

every government elected official of every party and who contributed to them.

5. Thank you one and all for your wonderful help with this project.

My intention is to send a sort of cut-n-paste LTTE to one of the major papers in each DINO's state bringing up their position on health care and their contributions from insurance companies. I'll also be making the list available to others I know who are interested in health care reform.
