I just did for the third time.
It's good to revisit it. It will remind you (and me) what we are fighting for.
GO OBAMA!

(The healthcare industry spent over $100 MILLION to defeat Hillary's healthcare plan)

1. We are fighting for the right to receive medical treatment when
we need it! We do not want some accountant deciding if we can access our stem cells to cure debilitating diseases. With the system in place it is like living in the company town. They decide everything for you. It ends now.

2. I did last night.
And that's why I believe now more than ever that single-payer is what we must advocate for until the bitter end.

3. Sicko made me want to move to another country. I cried my eyes out during the movie.

6. Advocating Single Payer
We will never have a better chance than the next 6 weeks. But so far . . . to quote the movie "Fargo" . . . dead fucking silence.

If anyone would step up and organize, including a free clinic, we could have a million people on the mall to greet Congress when they get done taking their vacation.

5. I think this should be made known to the mass public. I think more would watch it for free.
