Breaking news from PNHP: Weiner Amendment could possibly come to the floor Friday/Saturday

Physicians for a National Health Program reports that Rep. Anthony Weiner's Medicare for All amendment may come to a floor vote this Friday or Saturday, with a short debate session allowed--20 minutes or so.

If you called, faxed, or emailed, you helped make this happen. Thank you!

Now it's time to get your Congress member to vote yes. Every support vote is important.

Send a fax to your member of Congress here, through 1payer.net. Or write your own health care message and send it by clicking here.

Then follow the fax up with a phone call. The Congressional switchboard is (202) 224-3121, or you can look up your rep's website by name or by your zip at the top of the House web page here.

If your Representative is a co-sponsor of HR 676, thank him or her and tell them you expect consistent support for single payer through the vote on the Weiner Amendment.

No industry lobbying group, no well-connected corporate board members, no "corporate persons," want to see a health care reform bill that puts people before profits. But our work won't end until we get what works, what's fair, and what's right--an everybody-in, nobody out, single payer health care system. So speak out now!
