OK, we just got it a big new batch of the "Single Payer Health Care" caps, so if you had requested one already yours will go out tomorrow first class. And if you haven't, here is a direct link to a page where you can get yours. Whatever you can afford is good enough for us. We just want to get the message out.

Folks, we really need to have a talk. When you hear lunatic talk out there (mostly trial balloons really) like Congress doesn't even think it can pass a weak joke of a public option, there is only one reason. None of us are doing enough to speak out. We need more people to call their members of Congress. We need more people out there wearing their "Single Payer Health Care" caps. It's just that simple, we MUST speak out to win.

Again, here is the link to our phone lobby page on HR 676

Do you people mean this as a joke??? We can't even describe to you the gargantuan amount of work it took to create this new interface, which empowers you to log notes of your actual calls to members of Congress, as a public record of the actual calls they are getting. We have easy links on the same page to put all their local district office phone numbers at your finger tips. Easy policy points to make on the phone as to why single payer is what we must demand. Reference links to back everything up. And all you have to do is USE IT.

Do you not understand that the so-called "public option" is designed to rip you off PERSONALLY to the tune of something like five to ten thousand dollars a year? Just like enforced car insurance in various states, where you have NO CHOICE but to cough up the money, now they want to force you to buy the same medical insurance scam you can't afford now, with some kind of silly new bureaucratic co-op or something designed to be a "no better" alternative. Members of Congress themselves admit that none of these "not single payer" plans will save us a dime. But without our voices they will just plow ahead and implement the worst policy imaginable.

That's right, they want to gouge you for five to ten grand a year, without saving the American public a damn dime. Your money, FIVE TO TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS, every year, no choice. Is that enough to get you to pick up the phone one time and make a local telephone call to the district offices of your members of Congress?? Maybe you are making phone calls in some other way WITHOUT leaving a trace of your activism. But all we know is that we are not doing enough, none of us, and it's a disgrace. C'mon people, get it together.

Our other leadership type activist friends tell us don't send out an email like this. Just make people feel good they say. Well, damn it, last time we checked you were not on this distribution list just to get a feel good stroke job. You are on this list because you want someone to tell you the TRUTH. And the truth is, you need to pick up the phone right now and make your voice heard for single payer, or you are going to have the IRS banging on your door demanding five to ten thousand dollars a year ransom for the same medical insurance corporations who are ripping us off now. That's every year from now on for the rest of your less than adequate medical care life. No choice, just cough it up.

And that's the truth.
