The thrice-delayed Weiner amendment that will replace the House TriCommittee bill with the single payer bill HR 676 is finally coming to a vote tomorrow. We won on the Kucinich amendment for state single-payer. We can win on the Weiner amendment. But you have to call and fax. Not just call. Not just fax. Both.

http://www.1payer.net/faxapp/senders/add/cid:22This new fax goes to all the Democrats who might vote yes.
Six Democrats on the Committee are leaning toward voting yes, and a call and fax from you could nudge them firmly into the "yes" column:
Diana DeGette CO01 202-225-4431
Jane Harman CA36 202-225-8220
Christopher Murphy CT05 202-225-4476
Frank Pallone NJ06 202-225-4671
Bobby Rush IL01 202-225-4372
Peter Welch VT00 202-225-4115
That's a LOT of faxes and they might not all get through in time so you have to CALL TOO.
Fifteen Democrats (below) won't commit either way, or they say that there aren't enough votes for the amendment to pass. But if they vote yes, it will pass. Do what you can to convince them. Send them the new fax too and then pick up your phone and call.

President Obama said it himself last night in his press conference:
"I want to cover everybody. Now, the truth is that, unless you have a single-payer system, in which everybody is automatically covered, then you're probably not going to reach every single individual."
This vote can make it happen. You can make it happen.
