The SustiNet bill has moved along farther than most would have predicted it would this session. Passing in both the House and Senate was quite a task and may not have been accomplished without OFC's efforts. I am proud to say I am a part of this health care reform.
However, before we crack open the champagne we have one final step... a hurdle even. We must convince Governor Rell not to veto the SustiNet bill. This is no easy feat. Though she has not officially declared that a veto is coming, believe me it is. Unless, we do what we have been doing all along- and then even more!
We need to blitz the Governor's office with calls, letters and emails. She must hear our crys louder than our representatives and senators did. There are not enough votes in the legislature to overturn a veto; so the buck stops with Gov. Rell.
We have all worked very hard for the last few months to come this far. It would be a shame to loose it all because we could not convince one last person. So let's dig deep and leave no regrets. Connecticut is counting on us!
I think you are right. Based on an NPR interview she did the late last week, I'd say there is no doubt that she will veto Sustinet.
