Tonight, the ActBlue page for the House members who are standing up for the public option topped $400,000 with almost 6,700 individual contributors. That’s nothing short of amazing. And, it shows that the “left of the left” is energized!

On the Senate side, Chris Bowers has been doing a whip count. So far, there are 45 solid Senate commitments for the public option. Chris has targeted five Senators who can put us over the top and you can help:

You can participate by sending a fax to each of these five Senators, asking them five specific questions on where they stand on a public option. It is quick, it is easy, it is supported by a range of other actions, and it is important

* Send a fax to Mark Begich, asking him if he supports the public option!
* Send a fax to Tom Carper, asking him if he supports the public option!
* Send a fax to Jon Tester, asking him if he supports the public option!
* Send a fax to Mark Warner, asking him if he supports the public option!
* Send a fax to Ron Wyden, asking him if he supports the public option!

Your actions are layered by media requests to each Senator from local bloggers, new field staff from Democracy for America, and mass emails to Stand with Dr. Dean members in each of these five states.

We can win this, changing not only health care, but the whole country in the process. Please, no matter where you are and what time you are reading this, send out faxes to these five Senators now.

Send your faxes tonight.
