Healthcare Now report, 12 arrested for sit in, Pelosi's office!!
From my email, when you call they'll give you to a machine, do it anyway!!


Dear Healthcare-NOW! Supporter:

Today, 12 brave activists were arrested because they entered Nancy Pelosi's office in California to get some answers.

They wanted to know why she broke her promise to hold votes on two single-payer amendments this fall.

They weren't leaving until the single-payer amendments were put back on the table.

Pelosi refused to speak to them. They were arrested for disrupting business as usual.

CALL PELOSI NOW! (415) 556-4862 and (202) 225-0100. Ask her to keep her promise on single-payer.

Demand that she keep her promises and put Kucinich Amendment in the bill and allow a Floor vote on the Weiner Amendment!

Thanks for all that you do,
Healthcare-NOW! National Staff

P.S. We need your support. Please donate today

17. I'm here to serve!
I heard of another one, but I keep forgetting to call it to make sure it's working and add it to my list.

I used to have a brain.

I really miss it.

15. might be futile
but I like to be like a gnat, just irritate with calls, it is disruptive anyway...and I can vent...last call I told the girl to just give me the machine, but, but,...any disruption is something...

10. Nancy hasn't changed and
nothing has changed. It's big business over people.
It won't change until day after day we disrupt the
ability of big business to make money off the peoples back.

This spring in DC looking for 1000 people/day for civil
disobedience. EVERYDAY while congress is in session.

12. Eight new people are now sitting in. They are still asking for calls.
It's not too late to call.
