Nevada Robocall Thanks Reid For Including Public Option In Senate Health Care Bill

The Progressive Change Campaign Committee will sponsor a robocall in Nevada, thanking Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for including a public option in the Senate health care bill.

Here's the script:

"Hi, I'm Lee Slaughter. For nearly 20 years, I've taken care of patients who need critical care here in Nevada. I've seen private insurance companies cut off medical care for so many of my patients.

That's why I'm very thankful that Senator Harry Reid has included a public health insurance option in his health care bill. He shocked the political world by being so bold on this issue.

If you want to join me in thanking Senator Reid, and letting him know that we'll stand with him as long as he keeps fighting for a public option, please press one on your keypad.

The calls will begin Saturday and will run for two weeks, targeting 10,000 voters a day, as long as Reid continues his push. Reid faces a tough re-election fight in Nevada in 2010.

"Harry Reid's constituents deserve to hear about Reid's bold moves on behalf of the public option," said PCCC organizer Max Berger. "So long as Reid keeps fighting hard for it, progressives will get his back."
