"Even better, if you can, make a small donation - even if it's just $10. And then - this is key - call the Representative to not only thank him/her, but also to say "I just made a small donation to you because you committed to vote No on health care reform if it doesn't have a strong public option." Imagine the effect it'd have on someone, who wants a public option, to know that people gave them money specifically because they said they'd vote this way. How can they back down now?"

ICK.

I realize it's pretty much the reality, but I'm having a hard time *reinforcing* a politician with a statement "It's OK that your vote is 'for sale'" to be a good thing.
