There's also signing petitions, like the one above. It's one to petition a bill to be headed with Kennedy's name, the same one his health committe approved.
When's the nationwide,
When's the nationwide, co-ordinated, mass-demonstration?
good point, BUT..!!
Good Point, if we "liberal lefty socialist psuedo-intellectuals got off our keyboards, maybe we could help SPUR REAL change."
BUT!! SOMEONE needs to point out THE LACK OF LEADERSHIP from our "CHANGE!" Democrat Party !!
WHERE IS PRESIDENT OBAMA _LEADING_ the FIGHT for SINGLE PAYER, or at least "Public Option"?
As any military historian will tell you, an army that is disorganized, leaderless, and confused is EASY MEAT for an opposing general.
Let's face it, President Obama PROMISED US "CHANGE!" re health care, but now that he is in office (surrounded by his Emanuel/GoldmanSachs big finance types) his XM "liberal channel" radio clips have OBAMA saying, his own comments,
"I insist on NO line-in-the-sand, EXCEPT that reform HOLD DOWN COSTS."
THIS IS DELUSIONAL!! The FOR PROFIT health system is NOT a "health CARE" system... it is a "Medical DENIAL system," you take money ONLY from people who DON'T NEED health care, and you INSTANTLY DENY COVERAGE to anyone who WILL need it!
WE NEED A HUE AND A CRY and a DEMAND FOR LEADERSHIP from the White House, NOT MORE SILENCE as the RETHUGLICAN BULLIES and HATE-RADIO and GUNMEN-INCITERS and CHUCK GRASSLEY and MICHELLE BACHMAN DOMINATE the health-care debate, because Obama co. IS SILENT (and trying to PROTECT the profits & "business model" of the for-profit health-care EXTORTION companies) !!!
(not to mention, there have been FOUR separate RIGHT-WING GUNMEN POLICAL MURDERS since last spring: Arkansas Dem. Party Chairman BILL GWATNEY SHOT and killed by a righty gunman in his Little Rock party offices; another murderous gunman went to a Tenneessee CHURCH with the intent TO MURDER EVERYONE there (fortunately, the well-armed gunman killed just two brave Churchgoers, who of whom took a full blast PROTECTING others), then this year there was the HOLOCAUST shooting, adn THEN the ASSSASSINATION of Dr. Tiller in his Kansas Church!
THE RIGHT-WING IS CALLING ON its MURDEROUS DOGS to TERRORIZE "liberals" and Democrats, and the "Democrat" leaders and "Democrat" White House PRETENDS NOT TO NOTICE ?!!!!!
BUT I DO IT IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS!!

Have I drank too much coffee?
That's right-- blogging for hours is a useless substitute for actually doing something. Picking up the telephone is a big improvement. HR Bill 676 is a single-payer option and deserves some calls. It's also something Ted Kennedy would have wanted. The bill would have a lot of power added to it if his name were attached --those who vote against a bill with such a venerated and legendary name on it would then have even more accountability for rejecting single-payer. So calls for HR 676 with a request that it be honored with his name might be a game changer. Who knows?

I'd go to sen. Bennet's office, and demand single payer
