The ad, by MoveOn.org Political Action, reminds Senator Landrieu’s constituents of the $1.6 million she has taken from the health care industry—the same industry leading the fight against a public health insurance option.MoveOn.org Political Action: Democracy in Action

Yeah I got that same email today too. Well the answer to your question is that she got $1.6 million in campaign contributions (although I prefer to call them bribes) from the health care industry.

I thought it was rather interesting and glad to see MoveOn.Org calling her out on it...

The guy in the recording says that he wants Senator Landrieu to support a:

high quality and affordable health care plan. Sounds like an oxymoron to me.
