Fax Action Page: I Want To Sign Up For Medicare Too!!

For OpEdNews: thepen - Writer

If you could sign up for Medicare right now would you do it?

That is why we have created the "I Want To Sign Up For Medicare
Too!!" Fax Action Page at the page just below.

To President Obama & Congress:
http://www.peaceteam.net/action/pnum1023.php


Last week the Senate floated the idea of making it possible for
people 55-64 to buy in to Medicare. The original proposal was just
another fake health care reform scam, to try to offload those with
the most medical needs from for-profit insurance company obligations.
The problem for them is that everyone LIKED the idea so much, that it
gave people an actual glimmer of hope that real change might happen,
and they have tried to deep six the idea as fast as possible, before
the Congressional Budget Office even has a chance to score it.

But not so fast. Tell your members of Congress that YOU want to sign
up for Medicare NOW! You aren't really signing up for Medicare by
submitting the form of course. But it will send your instant fax to
them, and President Obama at the White House too. All we need is for
people to declare that is what they want, that we will accept nothing
less, and it HAS to happen.

Fax Action Page: http://www.peaceteam.net/action/pnum1023.php

And on this same page you can watch the latest of the "I'm A
Democrat, I'm A Republican" advocacy videos that everyone likes so
much, with tens of thousands of views on YouTube already and a like
number of action page submissions. This fifth installment is
subtitled, "Heavy Reading".

Use this page to tell President Obama and your members of Congress
that YOU want to sign up for Medicare too!! If we want any real
change, FIRST we must DEMAND it.

Think about it, folks. They would not be on the TV trying to sell us
so hard on fake reform measures if they did not NEED our
acquiescence. When enough people declare that we will no longer
settle for coal in our Christmas stockings, then and only them will
we get the real deal.

The page above will send your instant fax to President Obama and all
your members of Congress, for no charge to yourself, unlike all the
right wing "activist" operations that charge twenty-five dollars or
more for doing the same thing.

And here is the one click Facebook page for this same fax action.

Medicare Virtual Signup on Facebook:
http://apps.facebook.com/fb_voices/action.php?qnum=pnum1023

And the Twitter reply to send, to send this message to all your
members of Congress that way, is

@cxs #p1023

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed
to be ours, and forward this alert as widely as possible.

2. I saw the email this morning and signed.
I only wish that I hadn't already pretty much conceded defeat to the lobbyists and corporations.

Maybe a few days to recharge the batteries will help, but this is looking like an uphill battle on Mount Everest.
