We are having an impact! Keep calling!

Just another reminder that it's not too late to call Congress for state level single payer and for a House debate and vote on the Weiner Amendment.

The managers' amendment that can put the Kucinich amendment back into the legislation has not been released. Members of Congress have received many phone calls--hopefully your's too! The push for single payer is working. Please keep it up and call. Email friends to tell them to call. Blog, facebook, tweet, chat--however you get the word out, do it now!

Take the two following steps, and tell others to do the same:

1. Keep the Kucinich amendment in HR 3269! The Kucinich amendment makes changes to ERISA law that make it possible for states to pass single payer and not have it challenged on the basis of ERISA.

2. Keep the promise and let the Weiner amendment come to the floor of the house for a debate and vote. This will be the first time that single payer has come to a vote in the House. It is historic and we don't want to lose this opportunity.

Speaker Pelosi at 202-225-4965
Majority Leader Hoyer at 202-225-4131
Chairman Waxman at 202-225-3976
