In 1997 one million Italians sent a blizzard of postcards to their parliament demanding an anti-landmine bill. It worked.
We could send A MILLION POSTCARDS to Max Baucus, the Democrat who's in charge of the Finance Committee and who has a stranglehold against SINGLE PAYER or even a strong "public option." He claims that the "American people don't support single-payer" tho polls show that 69% do. (If it's easier for you to send a letter in an envelope, do that. Be sure to put PLEASE SUPPORT SINGLE PAYER on the *outside* of the envelope.)
Senator Max Baucus
511 Hart Senate Office Building,
District of Columbia 20510-2602
Phone: (202) 224-2651
Fax: (202) 224-9412
Snail mail matters. Please get your friends to postcard.
White House Comment line.
202.456.1111 (6AM-2PM Pacific Time)
ps. The equivalent of EVERY man, woman, and child in the whole states of Georgia, Indiana, North Carolina, New Jersey, Virginia, have NO health care insurance in our United States of America. (Mnemonic: GINNV.) Even more shocking and shameful seen this way, isn't it! Send your postcard or letter today.

I have an IDEA on our present health coverage system. Why doesn't the Govt pass a law where ALL SIN TAX monies are to be used to finance a PUBLIC HEALTH COVERAGE SYSTEM. The SIN TAX on tobacco products (cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco) and liqour (beer, wine, liquor) is being wasted by the states and federal govt. These monies were intended to be used for HEALTH CARE ISSUES. All the SIN TAX money should be used to finance PUBLIC HEALTH CARE and the states should give their share to the FED Govt so their UNINSURED will be covered. This isn't an additional tax it is REWORKING the SIN TAX monies that are being MISUSED by the federal and state governments.
