Uh boy. If you haven’t already, now is the time to call your Senator and Representatives, folks.

Reid & Pelosi think they have enough votes to arrogantly seize control of your health care and, by default, your life – and, yes, this INCLUDES a public option:

While White House spokesman Robert Gibbs today refrained from telling reporters whether President Obama in his speech Wednesday night will set a deadline for passing health care reform, sources tell ABC News that in his private meeting with Democratic congressional leaders this afternoon the key word was urgency.

The president told House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., that it is important for them to pass health care reform bills soon, the sources said.

Both leaders told the president that despite the difficult rough and tumble of the legislative process in the last few weeks, they are optimistic that both the House and Senate can pass health care reform legislation.

What will be in the bill remains an open question, though after the meeting, Reid told reporters that “we’re going to do our very best to have a public option or something like a public option before we finish this work.”

Now is the time to resist.

Update: After letting this settle in my mind, I realize this is probably a cynical ploy by Pelosi & Reid to pressure fence-sitting Senators & Congressmen to lean their way – you know the ol’ ‘Joint the Bandwagon Or You’ll Lose Out” routine. They also want to get the hopes of the fringe progressive liberals up – the ones who are tantruming over the prospect of having no public option. Bah.
