We're in crunch time for Health Care Reform in the House.  If you want it, imperfect as it admittedly is, for goodness sake call your Representative and say so.  You can find your Representative's phone number here.  You need your zip + 4 but there's a link on that page to get it if you don't already know it.

I called (had to call the local number; the DC number is always busy) and I sent an e-mail.

I called and was told my congresscritter is solidly in favor of the bill and already intending to vote for it. Part of me was pleased, part of me wished I lived someplace where rounding up some phone calls might make a difference to a waverer.

I've been following the sausage-making over at Firedoglake. The Democratic leadership is negotiating with the Stupakites, and some sort of deal has been struck. As of 11:25pm your time, the whip count stood at 204 yes, 209 no. I'm starting to wonder if the Democratic Party is going to survive.
