Bang The Drum for Single Payer Health Care and Don't Stop

They told us just elect more Democrats and we could have real policy
change. Well, now we have 60 Democratic senators. So what's the
excuse now why we can't have the single payer health care we all
want, the most economical and efficient, and the ONLY real reform
worth talking about?

Thank you for helping congressional candidate Marcy Winograd put over
100 single-payer commercials promoting HR 676, the single payer
solution on CNN and MSNBC, including Olbermann and Maddow, during
prime-time. With your support, Winograd was able to reach hundreds of
thousands of viewers who watched Winograd challenge her opponent,
Jane Harman, to sign on to Congressman Conyers's bill for
single-payer. Now, voters in the 36th District (West Los Angeles to
San Pedro) know the have an option to the member of Congress who is
NOT serving them now.

That is the key, and that is why Marcy is a model of what ALL strong
progressives should be doing. Building campaigns NOW to replace
members of Congress who will not listen.

Help Marcy Winograd target even more viewers in her district with an
ad that is resonating around the country, building a movement for
single-payer. Donate to her next 100 commercials and get a first
edition "Bang the Drum for Single-Payer Winograd for Congress" pin.
See the exclusive pin here, together with the actual TV spot Marcy is
running at the link above:

Marcy Winograd is a leader in the single-payer movement, blogging on
Huffington Post, PDA, and OpEd News with her article: Single-Payers
Crashing the Gates and her demand that congressional committee chairs
order a financial analysis of single-payer. Thanks to Marcy Winograd
and other single-payers who pressured Congressman Waxman's office,
the congressman held hearings on single payer.

Contribute today to Winograd for Congress 2010, sport a new Bang the
Drum for Single-Payer pin, and help Winograd broadcast the next 100
commercials into the Port of Los Angeles, where many suffer from
asthma and other respiratory ailment without health insurance
coverage. Together, we can make the case for real reform now.

And whether you can make a contribution or not, please make a point
AGAIN of submitting her action page on HR 676, which will send a
message to your OWN members of Congress, no matter what district you
are in.
