We would not have written all this if we were not also going to point the way to the path of salvation. It's just what it has always been. You must speak out now, you must keep speaking out, and you must never stop speaking out. There was a story the other day about how certain special interest lobby groups were forging letters to members of Congress as if they came from the public. Now, ask yourself, WHY would they even BOTHER to do such a thing if writing letters, sending emails, and making phone calls to members of Congress did NOT constitute compelling pressure, and they KNEW it? Why would they do such a thing if real activism did not work?
Here is an action page that will send a message to all your members of Congress with the message, "Any health bill without single payer is no reform at all." All you have to do is click a mouse one time and submit it. SINGLE PAYER ACTION PAGE: http://www.peaceteam.net/action/pnum1003.php
And here is a Facebook action page that does the same thing FACEBOOK SINGLE PAYER ACTION: http://apps.facebook.com/fb_voices/action.php?qnum=pnum1003
And here is another resource, the new blog site in support of HR 676, that was, is and has always been the REAL health reform bill, single payer Medicare for all, where you can record notes of your phone calls to members of Congress where other can read the kind of responses we are getting, so we know where members of Congress are really coming from. On this same page is a link to give you all the phone numbers of your own members of Congress down to the local district office level.
And there is also an "Easy policy points" link so you have the best arguments at your finger tips. HR676 PHONE CALL BLOG: http://www.peaceteam.net/lobby.php
So one way or another, send your message. The enemies of actual change are counting on you NOT doing so. They are counting on you being lulled by our charismatic new President of the United States into thinking he stands for actual change of any kind, when in fact he sold you out day one when we brought in the so-called stakeholders and gave them an instant press conference to announce a chump change deal, the constructive equivalent of getting a coupon for a medical "happy exam". They are counting on your silence, out of politeness, out of a willingness to give the ludicrous the benefit of the doubt, or if all else fails out of defeatism and utter exasperated despair.
Go to one of the action sites, pick up the phone, and contact your members of Congress. Tell them, "Get the medical industry leeches off my back." And THEN and ONLY then we will have real health care reform. And we're shipping out the single payer health care caps just as fast as we can. No donation of any size is too small. We just want to demonstrate our support for real reform. What other activist group out there will do anything like that? Single Payer Health Care Caps: http://www.peaceteam.net/all_gifts.php We just want you to win, folks. That's why we talk to you the way we do. It isn't always pretty but it is always the truth, as these latest developments demonstrate. Please take action now. Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours.
