Have you signed this DFA petition yet???

Speaker Nancy Pelosi a historic opportunity to take the reins back on behalf of the House of Representatives and the majority of Americans who want a public option.
It's up to us to make sure Speaker Pelosi doesn't kill the public option because she's afraid to act. She needs to know that we'll be there to have her back. We'll whip Congress to pass the bill and help every step of the way to get the majority votes we'll need to win.
Sign the petition right now and we'll deliver each signature to her office at the end of the day on Monday
