Let's have Town Hall meetings to burn them all...

invite people who don't want government in their lives to these meetings and have a Medicare/Medicaid Card burning...remember way back when draft cards were burned? It got the attention of the media as well as the general population. Let people who already have "theirs" and don't want anyone else to get a piece of the pie, give up their piece. I'm just sayin'.

3. Not a bad idea at all! Start with a large city. Put up flyers and see if you can get local radio/TV

to promote. Hopefully it would get more attention than Rep. Anthony Wiener offer to sponsor a bill to repeal Medicare.

4. That would be great...

sort of like a "Crab Grassroots" effort. Wonder if there's a way to cross reference any "plants" who might show up to burn fake cards? Hmmmmmmmmmm. I'm serial.
