2. March in favor of health care reform
Look, people always show up to protest against things, but rarely do the same if they are in favor of things. There are more of us than them.

Here in Chicago a few years ago, several hundred thousand people showed up to march in favor of immigration reform on May Day (not that it did any good). How about organizing in cities across America marches in favor of health care reform. 15 people, or several hundred people, at a town hall get national coverage. Let's see if 250,000 each in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Cleveland, Atlanta, Kansas City, Detroit, etc. etc. gets any attention.
