House Minority Leader John Boehner said Thursday: “I’m still trying to find the first American to talk to who’s in favor of the public option, other than a member of Congress or the administration. I’ve not talked to one, and I get to a lot of places and I’ve not had anyone come up to me — I know I’m inviting it — and lobby for the public option. This is about as unpopular as a garlic milkshake."Progress Ohio and Health Care for America Now activists have lobbied John Boehner in person, online, and via phone countless times over the past year. To refresh Boehner's memory, we quickly mobilized eighth district voters to visit his office. Photos were taken of each individual (see slideshow below), and a garlic milkshake was presented to Boehner's staff. We know every time we send out an action alert asking our members to contact John Boehner, hundreds of you respond. Could you now help us give Boehner a reality check? Make a sign like the ones in the slideshow below, and email it to info@progressohio.org. We'll continue to add to this collection.If you are an Ohioan who does not live in Boehner's district, your sign could read: "I am an Ohioan and I support the public option."Additionally, please call John Boehner's office.
