Folks, we really need to have a talk. When you hear lunatic talk out
there (mostly trial balloons really) like Congress doesn't even think
it can pass a weak joke of a public option, there is only one reason.
None of us are doing enough to speak out. We need more people to call
their members of Congress. We need more people out there wearing
their "Single Payer Health Care" caps. It's just that simple, we MUST
speak out to win.
Again, here is the link to our phone lobby page on HR 676

http://www.peaceteam.net/lobby.php?bill=HR676 If you want to know why we are not YET winning this fight, take a
look at this page and hang your head in shame. We have done at least
two alerts on this to our distribution list of hundreds of THOUSANDS
of progressive activists. And yet in our own state of California we
count a grand total of 50 calls made and logged to our two U.S.
Senators combined this entire month. We asked you to make ONE call
this month and you have failed us, and you have failed yourselves.
Response in other states was just about as pathetic. But every day is
a new chance to change our lives forever, and don't you ever forget
it.
Do you people mean this as a joke??? We can't even describe to you
the gargantuan amount of work it took to create this new interface,
which empowers you to log notes of your actual calls to members of
Congress, as a public record of the actual calls they are getting. We
have easy links on the same page to put all their local district
office phone numbers at your finger tips. Easy policy points to make
on the phone as to why single payer is what we must demand. Reference
links to back everything up. And all you have to do is USE IT.

to rip you off PERSONALLY to the tune of something like five to ten
thousand dollars a year? Just like enforced car insurance in various
states, where you have NO CHOICE but to cough up the money, now they
want to force you to buy the same medical insurance scam you can't
afford now, with some kind of silly new bureaucratic co-op or
something designed to be a "no better" alternative. Members of
Congress themselves admit that none of these "not single payer" plans
will save us a dime. But without our voices they will just plow ahead
and implement the worst policy imaginable.
That's right, they want to gouge you for five to ten grand a year,
without saving the American public a damn dime. Your money, FIVE TO
TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS, every year, no choice. Is that enough to get
you to pick up the phone one time and make a local telephone call to
the district offices of your members of Congress?? Maybe you are
making phone calls in some other way WITHOUT leaving a trace of your
activism. But all we know is that we are not doing enough, none of
us, and it's a disgrace. C'mon people, get it together.
the truth is, you need to pick up
the phone right now and make your voice heard for single payer, or
you are going to have the IRS banging on your door demanding five to
ten thousand dollars a year ransom for the same medical insurance
corporations who are ripping us off now. That's every year from now
on for the rest of your less than adequate medical care life. No
choice, just cough it up.
And that's the truth.
