Pardon me, but Ceci Connolly of all people just knows the inside scoop on the Democratic Party? Or is she writing her wishes.

We’ve just been given another reason to keep it up. Somebody’s not happy, and I don’t think it’s Obama.

with half a dozen top House and Senate Democrats,

Let me see: Landrieu, Ben Nelson, Max Baucus, Kay Hagan, and what other three?

Of course the calls and ads should continue. I’ve blogged about this here.

MoveOn.org has been attacking the energy bill that came out of the house as too weak, and is launching a campaign to strengthen it. They put out a member poll, basically asking if they should take on Obama (at least in part), and it came back more than 90% for. I think that they’ve done a good job positioning themselves to the left of Obama and putting pressure on Congress and the President from the progressive side.

In the end, MoveOn.org has been highly responsive to its members on issues like this.

Obama we are not going to disarm when there is a fight going on. Get your own house in order you bailed out the banks and AIG an insurance company they owe YOU!
And more importantly you own them as a major shareholder get THEM to stop funding their anti healthcare Lies.
Just say any company that keeps funding the lies and not honest debate will not get any more government cash.
If the GOP says cenorship F%^& them they came to you for cash did they really think there would be no strings?

Oh hell no. if they do- there goes the support of millions. I mean, we don’t have many standing up for a public option. Or speaking out against torture. Or just standing up for the progressive agenda in general

I think the progressive community should continue to hold Obama to his words on all of the issues,but at the same time we do not cave to anyone or let anyone stop us from moving the agenda period. It time Obama start to kick some DEM and REP asses let them know in know uncertain terms this what I want for heathcare,energy and other issues or there will be a price to be paid period by all.

I’ve written the WH, my Senators, and my Rep repeatedly, supported everyone I can find who believes single payor is the best option, and a genuine public option is the worst we will accept. I’ve asked every friend and acquaintance to join in.

“Can we get the media to call them something more descriptive than ‘moderate democrats’?”

Sadly, that’s about as likely as getting them to call torture, torture.

I’ve been writing the WH a couple-three times a week about this. (I suspect what they do is automagically trash the incoming e-mails, without actually reading them.)
