Action Alert! Support the Fleming Amendment: Make Congress have the same Health Care the People will "enjoy!"

A newsflash from C. Brooks Neilsen informed me of Congressman John Fleming's Amendment  to the Health Care Bill that would urge the members of House & Senate to "enjoy" the same care as the People eventually get.

The text of HR 615 follows:
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that Members who
vote in favor of the establishment of a public, federal government run
health insurance option are urged to forgo their right to participate
in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP) and agree
to enroll under that public option.

Now, I don't personally feel this is strong enough, but so far, Rep. Fleming is the only House Member inviting the People to comment on such an Amendment.

You can make your voice known to Congressman Fleming and the entire Congress by going to his House web site. He's serious about this Amendment, and has devoted the FRONT PAGE of his site to a comment form that you can send to support OR oppose his Amendment. Go for it, folks!
