Faced with a souring public mood on health care reform, Democrats and their supporters are launching a national grassroots [astroturf] push Wednesday to show lawmakers that the majority of Americans still support overhauling the system.
Reform supporters are planning to hold more than 500 events between Wednesday and when lawmakers return to Washington Sept. 8, ranging from neighborhood organized phone banks to professionally staffed rallies with hundreds of people.
The Democratic National Committee and its grassroots [LMAO!] arm, Organizing for America, are helping to organize the effort along with the Health Care for America Now, a group pushing to create government-run insurance plan.
“In these last few weeks of recess we want to demonstrate the energy, passion and commitment that the American people [read Democrat Party activists] have to health insurance reform so that when members return after Labor Day they know that they can turn their attention to getting this done because they have the backing of the American people [Democrat Party activists] ,” said DNC spokesman Brad Woodhouse.
