Joe Lieberman, the independent Senator from Connecticut and member of the democratic caucus, has announced his plans to give republicans the number they need to block any health reform bill coming out of the Senate.  The democrats have a (supposedly) fillibuster-proof majority this term, so if republicans want to continue their efforts to stall the wheels of progress, they need one additional member of congress to stand with them on a fillibuster.  Is it merely coincidence that Senator Lieberman shares his home state with over 70 insurance companies who are headquartered there and has recieved over $1 million dollars in campaign contributions from insurance companies over the course of his career?  Maybe he just wants to be the first Senator in history to break from his caucus on a procedural vote when that caucus has a fillibuster-proof majority?  Whatever the reason, Senator Lieberman is practically begging for strongly-worded letters from thousands of Americans, so let's give him what he wants.  If Lieberman sides with the republicans to fillibuster health reform, there must be consequences for his actions.  Sign this petition and send a message to Lieberman letting him know his pink slip is ready and waiting.  If you continue to block meaningful reform, Mr. Lieberman, you're fired!

Signing this petition will send a message to Senator Lieberman and the democratic members of various committees he sits on, as well as Senate majority leader Harry Reid and democratic whip Richard Durbin from Illinois.
