Kent ConradThis week, the Progressive Change Campaign Committee joined Rep. Alan Grayson to deliver nearly 90,000 petition signatures to Sen. Harry Reid -- telling him to lay down the law with Dem Senators who are threatening to block an up-or-down vote on health care.

Along the way, a funny thing happened. We ran into Sen. Kent Conrad (D-ND) --  one of the lead public option opponents -- walking around the Senate with his puppy. We talked with him about our petition, all while he had dog-in-arms, and we released the video Friday.

But now, we're announcing a fun-filled caption contest.

Can you think of the perfect caption for this picture of Kent Conrad? If so, submit your caption here.

The winner will get $100 and their caption featured in a progressive blog ad.

This contest will be the most fun if lots of people participate -- so please rec this diary and email it to folks you know who are creative! Here are some of the nominations so far:

My dog was a German Shepherd before the Veterinarian Co-Op got a hold of him.

The US insurance industry: even our lapdogs have lapdogs.

I provide better health care for my dog than I do my constituents.

My dog ate my copy of the health reform bill.

Well, it's dog eat dog around here.

If it was a poodle option...

My dog has better health care than 45 million Americans!

That was the deal from the health insurance companies. A big campaign donation and a poodle.

Got a nomination? Submit it here or on the right!

Then, please send this post to any creative folks you know.

But I DO support the puppy option! (0.00 / 0)

I really wanted a pony but... (0.00 / 0)
the private insurers lobby said not till my "noe" vote was counted.

Its OBAMA (4.00 / 3)
Every body is pussy footing around Obama. The buck stops with Obama. If HE tells Reid he wants the Public Option we'll have the PO, but no one seems to want to blame the indecisive one for anything.

Forget Conrad, forget Reid, forget Baucas,  its Obama. All Obama has to do is to make a decision about something for once . He keeps saying he wants the PO; so if the wants it why doesn't  he have the balls to tell
Reid to give it to him. Where is his conviction?  Or is he full of shit?

How can one have conviction when one compromises on everything?

Conrad is one sick puppy! (0.00 / 0)
"Doesn't my government insurance cover Snowflake?" - Kent Conrad
Well, I am a Dog Democrat. (0.00 / 0)
Ah come on, that is the cutest puppy ever (0.00 / 0)
I want one.

If he can have a puppy then I want health care.
