Make sure all the people who can't get insurance, tell their illnesses to go on vacation for 5 weeks too.

2. For some, for others
a slow down or delay is their first step in derailing healthcare/insurance reform.

3. you know, taxpayers are being asked to take cuts in their insurance
WHY are we still subsidizing these a-holes in the Federal Government for THEIR healthcare? They ALL should be immediately cut from the programs, and sent into COBRA, at the SAME rates the average person gets nailed with. Let them deal with increases of several hundred per cent, and refusal to cover pre-existing conditions on the part of the insurance companies.

A solid taste of what it's like outside of the Golden Beltway would make them jump on a fix. Gotta force THEM to do it.

4. Organize, Educate and Agitate!
Now it's time for THE PEOPLE to get to work. Plug into one the events below...

Or organize a creative, effective action on your own.

Confront members of Congress in their home districts.

Get your letters to the editors in your local newspapers.

Protest and leaflet in the street.

Raise hell.

Congress won't see the light until they feel the heat!
