Landrieu Not Interested in a Public Option

On Sunday Senator Mary Landrieu had the "last word" on CNN's State of the Union. Here is a video of what she had to say about health care reform.

D&D Make it to Mary's Town Hall in Reserve, LA

We had another exciting trip to the river parishes of Louisiana yesterday. Below are just a couple of the many concerned citizens we spoke to. I'm not going to waste much of your time with me trying to recount everything from memory- just check out the videos and see what you think!

First, here are a few clips from the town hall meeting:



This young gentleman said it best: Bi-partisan reform is the way to go!



This next one was a great conversation we had. She mentions all sorts of effective ways to reform health care AND NO MENTION OF A PUBLIC OPTION!

Recess Rallies, Town Hall Meetings, and Mary Landrieu, Oh My!

South East Louisiana has seen its fair share of health care debates this week. Congressmen Ahn Cao from New Orleans and Steve Scalise from Metairie held several town halls discussing the current health care legislation in Washington with their constituents. If one thing was made clear it was this: Louisiana is in no mood for government ran health care.

This was only further proven by the "Recces Rally" held this weekend. Citizens gathered in their communities throughout the country to voice their concerns about a public option and its implications concerning health care reform. Throngs of people gathered at the memorial park at Causeway and Veterans Blvd and were extremely vocal in their criticisms.

Now, citizens have a chance to talk to their senior Senator in Washington, Mary Landrieu. She will be hosting a town hall meeting in Reserve, LA on Thursday to talk about health care reform. Here at the Louisiana Campaign for Responsible Health Reform we have been very vocal in our gratitude towards Senator Landrieu putting her constituents first when fighting for true health care reform. She has publicly opposed a public option and has made sure that small businesses have a voice in the process.

So be sure to be out there Thursday and thank her for fighting the political forces in Washington. If you are a small business owner, or and employee of a small business, this is THE town hall to attend.

See you there!
