Greg Sargent at The Plum Line has a post that provides an internal anti-reform memo from "Conservatives for Patient's Rights", outlining that they are prepared to go all out to kill the public option - now that it is receiving new life.
The memo discusses a "Martha’s Vineyard ad strategy" that’s set to kick in next week. According to a source familiar with the group’s plans, this is a reference to a planned national ad targeting the public option that will reference the President’s vacation.
CPR’s memo confirms explicitly that the group will work to foment opposition to the public option at town halls. "It is critical that we stay focused on the public option and not become mired in sideshows or discussions of the public option under any other name," it says. "We must continue to encourage people to attend town hall forums and other public events to stay focused on stopping the public option."
