Wednesday night Rachel Maddow announced:
“Two major powerbrokers on the left…are encouraging a Senate strategy in which the leadership would revoke chairmanships and other leadership positions from any Democrat who sides with a Republican filibuster to block a vote on health reform.”
“This is cracking heads time in the Democratic Party right now. This is arm-twisting, vote-counting, “are you a real Dem” time for the proponents of health reform.”

Since then, thousands of progressives have signed the Progressive Change Campaign Committee’s newpetition to Senate Leader Harry Reid saying:
“Any Democratic senators who support a Republican attempt to block a vote on health care reform should be stripped of their leadership titles. Americans deserve a clean up-or-down vote on health care.”

Nearly 79,000 people signed the petition since Rachel’s show — can we beat 80,000 before we deliver the signatures to Harry Reid on Tuesday?
