I think WE have to make sure Grayson's HR 4789 sees the light of day:
Calling/writing our representatives, Pelosi, trying to get Ed, KO (or Lawrence), Rachel to cover this, get him on the air, stuff like that.

We've seen what can happen when we badger :7 our reps -- the PO letter now has 40 signatures! At the beginning, I thought it would die a quiet death in a couple of days, but maybe we DO have power!

Any suggestions? I really really really want Medicare for all.

1. Thank you! !!!! Here's what I did... everyone can do the same.
I just wrote out (because I don't have a printer... you could print out several and save time) several notices to give to people here locally.

First, with the title to look for on youtube, to encourage people to watch it, and second, with the bill number... HR 4789.

Then I looked up and wrote out the local number for our congresscritter, and am asking people to call and ask said critter to CO-SPONSOR HR 4789.

In my particular case, our congresscritter, being the successor to Tancredo won't actually co-sponsor ANYTHING that makes sense. BUT, if he receives hundreds of phone calls FoR this bill, it will make it very difficult for him to vote against it, should we succeed in getting a lot of co-sponsors.

THAT is what is NEXT.

I hope you will make the effort, and ask others to do the same.

That is how democracy works.
