3 Actions For Single Payer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~in this issueSend a fax​

​Obama Town Hall

 

Dear Dr. L

Congressman Conyers' aide called yesterday to thank you for your unrelenting efforts supporting single payer.  He said that what you are doing has moved Congress a long way toward the goal.  But we are not done yet.  There are a few specific actions you can do today:

Send a fax today and every day.

Join the Blue Ribbon campaign.

Ask the President a question.  Send a fax today~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~​So far, you have sent over 135 thousand faxes to Congress and the White House supporting single payer.  Don't stop now.  Our fax tool has several pre-written faxes, telling Congress in all sorts of ways that you want single payer health care.  You can edit each one to say exactly what you want, or just send it as is.  Each fax goes to the White House and to key legislators, but also to your own Senators and Representative.  Send a fax ever day. Start now.

Tie (or Tape) a Blue Ribbon On Your Trees, Mailbox, Door, etc.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~​A couple of weeks ago, Rick Ford in Florida proposed that supporters of single payer start wearing a blue bandana as an armband to rallies.  In Washington DC on June 25, all the single payer people that came with HealthJustice wore blue armbands.  We put blue armbands on hundreds more of the people there.  We used strips of blue cloth, but even better, we used blue painters' masking tape. It's just the right color, it's cheap and it goes anywhere without leaving a mark when removed.

Go to home Depot or the local hardware store today.  Buy a roll of blue painters' masking tape.  Tape a few turns around every tree, maibox or lamppost in your neighborhood.  And when people ask, tell them it symbolizes the demand for REAL health reform.  It means single payer Medicare For All.  Without REAL health reform, we will all have the 'HealthCare Blues."Ask a Question -- Again and Again~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~​President Obama is answering questions in an online Town Hall broadcast from Annandale, VA.  As usual, people are asked to post their own questions with a couple of new twists: you can use Twitter or YouTube to ask your question.

We can take a lesson from the marijuana legalization folks by making a massive response with a single question.  Here it is: "Mr. Obama, you recognize that single payer health care is the best system if we are starting from scratch.  Our non-system is so broken that we are in fact starting from scratch.  But Congress says single payer is not politically feasible.  Americans don't believe that.  Only you can make Congress understand that single payer is politically feasible and the right way to enact REAL reform the first time.  If you go to the American people,  we will back you up and cheer you on.  Please, won't you do the right thing for Americans?  Make single payer politically feasible for Congress."

If everyone uses the same or similar words, we will have a shot at having our question answered.  Cut and paste the question above.

Post your question by recording a video on YouTube (if you have a camera on your computer)
or by posting your question on Facebook
or by sending a tweet with the tag #WHHCQ.
