Keith Ellison takes public option crusade (and his Flipcam) to the House floor

It's good for House progressives to consistently send a signal to the White House, the Senate, the House Leadership, and the rest of the political world that they want a public option.

Keith Ellison took his Flipcam to the House floor and got some fun statements from his colleagues.

What I like about this video most is kind of subtle. We've all seen times when Democrats parsed their words and tip-toed around issues instead of just "owning" an issue and speaking from the heart.

These progressives seem to have their heart in it. And having a visual representation of that sends an important signal that needs sending...

I saw this first in the Quick Hits (0.00 / 0)
where I thanked "northcountry" for posting. I agree with you, Adam: it's refreshing to hear some elected reps not wavering and equivocating, but standing on a principle that actually serves the people, not corporate interests.

From everything I've heard and seen over the past couple of years or so, Keith Ellison's been a fine addition, and I'm glad MN put him into office.

What I like most about this (0.00 / 0)
is that Keith Ellison freaking rocks. I remember when he hadn't even won his primary yet. I'm so proud of Keith. He's a really, really fantastic congressman.

People vote and delegates meet. How is a Minnesota primary unlike the party endorsement?
