Single Payer: Will You Make ONE Phone Call This Month To Make A Real Difference?

[and-justice-for-all]

(received via email)

We Have The Most Powerful Advocacy Resource Tool For Single Payer
Health Care If You Will Just Use It

On health care, the only options Congress, and the corporate
lobbyists who bought them off with 30 pieces of silver, are planning
on giving us are for NO reform at all, or for us to be FORCED to
enroll in the existing bad system with no real savings. Any and ALL
talk about a so-called "public option" other than TRUE single payer,
is a great, big, honking scam, semantically designed to provide a
distraction to the debate, a toothless and ineffectual alternative,
assuming they don't ultimately kill it off altogether.

OK, so that's THEIR plan. And there is only one power on earth that
CAN stop it . . . YOU.

Yes, you and the collective power of your voices speaking out can
make a real difference now while Congress is in recess, SUPPOSEDLY
and presumptively listening to what their constituents have to say.
And all we are asking you to do this entire month to save your own
life is to make ONE phone call this month, and log notes of the
results of your conversation on this special resource page.

HR 676 People's Phone Lobby:
http://www.peaceteam.net/lobby.php?bill=HR676

Go to the page above and it will look up your members of Congress by
your address. Then all you have to do is select your member of
Congress, and then click on the "Call them on these numbers" link to
instantly access all their local district office numbers, so you can
call them where they live right in your own area.

Call their office and ask to speak to someone who can DISCUSS their
position on single payer health care, and HR 676 specifically. If
they refuse to do so or say there is no such person who can engage in
such a discussion, enter that in the "Notes of my call" section on
the page above.

Then ask them their position, and if they don't agree with us, that
ONLY single payer offers any hope of real change, DEBATE with them
right on the phone. And to make it so easy for you to be the most
informed constituent to ever pick up a phone to call a member of
Congress, there is a link "Easy Policy Points" right there above the
notes box the opens up a window with all the most essential policy
arguments we want to make, together with links to back up information
resources for your own interest.

Now ... enter notes of what transpired during the call, and if you do
it, and all your fellow constituents do it, we will quickly build up
a very public record of just which members of Congress are listening
to us, and which are not, on one of the most critical generational
issues before us, how to fix the huge health care system mess.

If you will just do that, make ONE phone call this month using the
People's Phone Lobby page below, we will be well on our way to a true
single payer system, or else we will eat one of the new "Single Payer
Health Care" caps!

It's a simple two step plan, 1) MAKE them disclose their position, 2)
then advocate for ours. It's what lobbyists do day in and day out and
all night too, to pressure members of Congress. And it's time that we
the people, with our vastly larger numbers, started doing exacting
the same thing

HR 676 People's Phone Lobby:
http://www.peaceteam.net/lobby.php?bill=HR676

OK, so what if you are too busy to make a call during the day during
normal weekday business hours? No problem!! Make the call any other
time you can. If your member of Congress is too lazy to even bother
to clear their answering machine, THAT is what you should enter as
your notes on the page above.

The simple point is that many members of Congress think they can get
away with hiding out on the health care issue. Many of them are
refusing to hold town hall meetings this month for fear that single
payer advocates will show up and speak out, thus causing them public
embarrassment for their corruption. We are just beginning to
embarrass those who have been paid off to betray the people's
interest. And this new PUBLIC interface is designed to do just that.

Of course, to protect your privacy your own name appear only as
initials in the People's Phone Lobby Blog, but people will get the
point about how many of us are calling, and what responses we are
getting.

HR 676 People's Phone Lobby:
http://www.peaceteam.net/lobby.php?bill=HR676

OK, so what if your current member of Congress is drop kick blue dog
or worse. That is all the MORE reason to make your phone calls and
make a record of just how much they DON'T represent the constituents
in your own district. How many times have we heard from you saying
that so and so member of Congress will never listen. Isn't it about
time we demonstrate for the whole country to see just how
UNREPRESENTATIVE they are on the single payer issue?

So please, go to the page above and make your ONE phone call this
month, and lets have thousands of log entries that anyone can read,
to show who is representing we the people, and who is actually
representing only them the special corporate interests, to the real
and mortal detriment of the rest of us all.

And yes, we just got in the new "Single Payer Health Care" caps, and
we are going to be shipping them out just as fast as we can. So if
you had already requested yours it will arrive soon. And if you have
not yet requested one, there can be no better thing to wear to
demonstrate that you are a single payer health care advocate, and you
can do so, or get any of our other progressive policy gifts at this
page.
