We have heard many times over the past years that health care has been a Democratic issue. If this was truly the case then we need to get present AND FORMER Democratic leaders involved in this battle. We've all been listening to Senators and Congresspeople tell us that we're closer than we have been to real health care reform since the inception of Medicare. If this is the case then we need to enlist the likes of former President Clinton and former Vice-President Al Gore to both push and remind everyone what health care has meant to the party and in fact the nation. I realize that they may be hesitant to get involved since they are no longer involved in politics and it is customary for former leaders not to get involved. However, if they truly believed in health care reform back then, then they must realize that this is a once in a generation opportunity that we must not let pass and that their efforts can be the push we need to get this done.
Please, everyone, DRAFT OUR FORMER LEADERS!!
