Sign a petition to tell Harry Reid no vacation for the Senate!
This e-mail just arrived: Credo (formerly Working Assets) is putting this together:

Ah, the life of a U.S. senator — you can ignore President Obama's call for meaningful health care reform and take a month-long break, all while enjoying your own salary and health care on the taxpayers' dime.

That's right — this week Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced that the Senate will be ignoring President Obama's request to pass health care reform this summer. Instead, they'll take a month-long vacation before dealing with health care sometime this fall.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi has promised that the House will pass reform this summer. So what's the problem in the Senate?

The problem is Montana Democrat Max Baucus.


Here's the link to the petition:

1. Actually, I think SOME of the Senators definitely should take a vacation.
Like Reid, Baucus, and the rest of the fake "Democrats". And all the Repukes.

And while those traitorous bastards are gone, the REAL Democrats can pass Single Payer (or at the very least a true Public Option)

2. Harry Ried is so spineless that even if Jesus Christ asked him to do something
Harry Ried is so spineless that even if Jesus Christ asked him to do something he wouldn't if the Republicans were opposed to it.
