1. I wonder if he'll drop by United Health Group in Minnetonka

to reassure Hemsley that he has nothing to fear.

I think we should be there agitating for real reform.

2. Ask Klobuchar

See what her office has to say.

UnitedHealth, with their obscene "compensation" is really the poster boy for what is wrong with for profit health insurance.

4. I just contacted my friends about organizing something...

I will update you when I know more, but there will probably be a demonstration in favor of single payer. They don't allow signs inside the Target Center so people will have to make a choice between attending the rally or demonstrating outside the rally, I plan on being outside as that is where I feel we can make the biggest impact. When I know of concrete plans I will post them so keep checking back at this forum.

7. I am fully expecting to see them, that is part of the reason I want to be out there

The teabaggers need to be countered.

5. hopefully we will have big banners and huge high flying kites

people can always decorate a t-shirt for "Single Payer Healthcare"
or HR 676.

or tuck a cloth banner under their shirt.

and make and bring postcards that asks for Single Payer Healthcare.

here is a resource page.
