Single Payer VOTINGBLOC - please sign up

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

As our voting bloc continues to grow (2,262) so do the requests by members to do more in support of single payer health care. Our goal is to help voters organize and unite into one visible voting bloc but we fully encourage you to participate in other ways as well. Here are some links to other groups and organizations that are doing important work toward achieving single payer. We hope you find them useful and if you already belong to some of these groups please continue to help spread the word about our voting bloc among your fellow members.

1. Public Option Day September 2nd

The inclusion of a public option in health care reform is
absolutely essential to ensuring that this change serves the
people and not the insurance and pharmaceutical companies. 
The delivery of the country into the hands of the democratic
party came with the responsibility to change the way
Washington does business and the democratic party has much to
lose if it appears to sell out the interests of the common
good for big business and small victories.  I hear this
sentiment everywhere and not just in blue Massachusetts. The
majority of this country supports the public option and it is
important that this majority becomes a visible entity.  In
this spirit, I propose a Public Option Day with your support. 
I will be holding an event at the Massachusetts State House in
Boston on September 2nd from noon-2pm and also encouraging
those who cannot attend the event but support the inclusion of
a public option to wear a unifying color (blue, of course...)
to show our majority status.  If you are in the Boston Area,
please come out!  And if you are elsewhere, make Public Option
Day happen in your own city and we can become a unified voice.
 Please show us your support in this effort and we can win the
reform that we and future generations require.  Thank you.

2. Do you have a senator or congress person who will introduce a public option?
