Update: Posted too soon. Apparently Rosa's staff has clarified her position, and she has been moved out of the "committed" column.

However, Rep. Rush Holt (D-NJ) has signed up. Here's the latest whip count.

For a more detailed take on why this particular strategy is so crucial, see this post.

Ask all of the members the Connecticut delegation (including Rosa) to pledge to vote against any bill that does not contain a public option that is (1) available nationwide, (2) on day one, and  (3) accountable to Congress and the voters, and report any response to the FDL whip count tool here:
