1. Health Care Sunday - 9/13

6 1/2 hour drive each way. I could do that.

4. Game ON!!

Whatever numbers the wingnuts have, we'd double them the next day.

This could be a big media showdown, and we have last at bat. Great strategy!

5. Alright!

Do you know if there will be any local demonstrations organized for the same day in different cities? I'm on the west coast, so any info would be greatly appreciated.

8. We are ready to start this Sunday and every Sunday until we get it.

Meet at the end of your street with your cell phone and your numbers for Congress, Rush's sponsors, and list to debunk lies. Target time: noon. Then any time during day you can. Alone or with a friend we will make a strong case.

CONGRESS:http://www.visi.com/juan/congress/cgi-bin/newseek.cgi?site=ctc&state=oh

9. Wait, who's going to carry Reich on their shoulders so he can see?

:evilgrin: sorry, couldn't resist. He's a giant economist, even if he's small in stature.

11. There are other organizations that should be networked with on this:

All of them are fighting for sweeping health care reform.

�Progressive Future: info@progressivefuture.org

�Physicians for a National Health Program: info@pnhp.org

�California Nurses Association: press@calnurses.org

�Green Party of the United States (yes, I know a lot of DUers blame them for W, because they don't understand that in a democracy, anyone can run in an election and gather as many votes as he can�it's not "stealing" them...say what you will, they fight harder for progressive causes than the Democrats do, and they don't take corporate money, which the Democrats do. They're willing to fight for health care, I say bring 'em on board.): GPHQ@gp.org

�Cover The Uninsured: info@covertheuninsured.org

�SEIU: newmedia@seiu.org

�UsAction: usaction@usaction.org
