Senator Rockefeller's and Senator Schumer's amendments adding a public option to the Senate Finance Committee's proposed bill are scheduled for Tuesday, September 29! Senator Schumer has been a strong supporter of a public option (although a little unclear on how strong that option would be.)
It's vital to get the public option into the Finance Committee's bill, as that would ensure that it is included in all the bills coming out of committee.
Call (or Fax) Today (Sept. 28) or Early Tomorrow (Sept 29): CALL: 202 224-6542 (Washington Office), 212 486-4430 (New York Office); FAX: 202 228-3027 (Washington Office), 212 486-7693 (New York Office)
When you call, thank Senator Schumer for his support so far and tell him that you, his constituent, want him to support the strongest public option that he can (Sen. Rockefeller's amendment is more muscular than Schumer's, so let Schumer know that you want his support for Rockefeller.) If you'd actually prefer single payer -- Medicare for All -- tell him that.
It doesn't matter if you've called before. Call again, and let our Senator know where you stand.

Keep Stella D'oro in the Bronx: Rally with Workers and Supporters at the Stella D'oro Plant
When: Friday, October 2, 3 p.m.-7 p.m.
Where: Stella D'oro - 237th Street & Broadway
It is crunch time at Stella D'oro! Brynwood Partners, the company's private equity owners, intend to shut down the Bronx facility as early as the first days of October. They have a deal in principle with North Carolina-based manufacturing and marketing firm Lance, Inc. to buy the brand and relocate production to a non-union plant in Ashland, Ohio. But the deal still hasn't closed -- and we can stop it!
Please join the courageous women and men of Stella D'oro -- who have stood up for themselves and for the entire labor movement in New York -- as they rally to keep their plant open -- and their jobs -- this Friday, October 2nd, outside the plant gates at 237th Street and Broadway. Take the 1 train to 238th Street and walk one block south.
To read more about Stella D'oro's ongoing struggle, we recommend
