Dear Friend,

Sen. Lieberman has indicated he plans to join with Republicans to
filibuster any health care bill that contains a public option. Alone, the
Republicans don't have the votes for a filibuster. So by joining with
them, Lieberman would be tipping the balance of power in order to sink
health care reform.

We need to push the leaders of the Democratic caucus to take a tough stand
against Lieberman. Last year, an anonymous member of the Senate Democratic
leadership said about Lieberman: "We need every vote. He's with us on
everything but the war."
Now is the time for Senate Democratic leadership -- Senators Reid, Schumer
and Durbin -- to stop making excuses for Joe Lieberman. Harry Reid has
shown great leadership in writing a health care bill that includes the
public option. But Joe Lieberman is not "with us" on everything but the
war. Joe Lieberman's position is against Senate Democrats, against his
constituents in Connecticut and against the will of the American public.
Please sign a petition asking the Senate Democratic leadership to
make sure actions have consequences. Any senator who filibusters the
public option does not deserve a chairmanship and should be removed from
his or her post. Please have a look and take action.
