\"JackieTwo FDL activist call reports<\/a> indicate Rep. Jackie Speier (CA-12) will not vote for the Senate bill without changes.<\/p>\n

Jeff S. from San Francisco called Speier’s office on Friday and was told<\/a> that Speier “will not vote for the Senate bill in its current form.”<\/p>\n

Mike S. reports the same<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Rep. Speier’s aide (at: 650-342-0300) said Speier was now opposed to the Senate’s bill – to which I cheered. Then I requested that Rep. Speier continue the fight in the House for a fair, health reform bill that includes the public option – nothing less will do. I asked that she work with the Progressive Caucus in helping make this a success.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Speier pledged to vote against<\/a> any bill without a public option, and in response 1,761 people donated $5,773<\/a> to thank Speier for her stance. In our previous whip count for the war supplemental, Speier kept her promise<\/a> to vote against war funding without troop withdrawals.<\/p>\n

For keeping her word, Rep. Jackie Speier needs to hear our thanks. You can give her a call in DC at (202) 225-3531, and in San Mateo at (650) 342-0300. Let us know how your calls go with our call reports tool<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And if you haven\u2019t yet, please sign our emergency petition. Tell the House Progressives to stand firm: keep your word and vote \u201cno\u201d on the Senate bill. We\u2019ll deliver the petition early this week.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
