My congressman was spit on! LET'S GIVE HIM THE PUBLIC OPTION HE'S BEEN FIGHTING FOR!
John Lewis, and the rest of us down here in the 5th congressional district have been fighting for single-payer or the public option or expanded Medicare for a month of Sundays.

How 'bout the President includes it in the reconciliation package for this latest outrage!!!

Let's get the concessions back we've given to the tea-baggers and their ilk and AT LEAST EXPAND MEDICARE!

At the very loeast, let's include the Kucinich ERISA exemption to allow state single-payer.

Now is not the time to cave into a false bipartisanship which gave away the farm to right wing corporate interests and thier tea-bag followers!

Expand Medicare or include the Public Option, or at least ERISA exemption so we can show these cretins what we are made of!

Give my Congressman John Lewis a concession, please!

1. Might I suggest
that if possible, someone identify the person that did the spitting and name calling, so that we can give a face and voice to the Tea baggers.

2. Fight to get the Medicare for All bill out of the Ways and Means Committee
and onto the floor for debate before the November elections. I wonder if this is why they went on that witch hunt to get the Committee Chairmanship from Charlie Rangel, because he would have been for this?

3. Looks like Congressman Lewis
wholeheartedly supports this bill:



And the bill includes a state single payer provision.
