The progressive group that ran TV ads critical of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's leadership as it pushed him to include the public option in the health care bill now says it has the leader's back as he potentially comes under pressure to change the bill as the health debate begins in the Senate.
The Progressive Change Campaign Committee will be dialing up 10,000 Nevadans a day, beginning Saturday, with a robo-call supporting Reid's efforts to preserve the public option in the bill.
