Not running for election at the end of his term in 2010, Burris says he is in many ways immune from the political pressures many of his colleagues face. Whatever may happen, his Senate career will end next year after he completes one-third of the term for the seat originally held by Barack Obama.
Burris joined 29 fellow senators to sign a letter urging the inclusion of a public option in the health reform legislation.
“I will continue to be a strong advocate for the public option in any health insurance reform bill that comes before the Senate, and will not vote for a bill that does not include a public option”
