Ask Senator Kerry to put US first, and not call police on Single Payer advocates
Senator Kerry - talk to Single Payer advocates instead of calling Homeland Security

When members of SinglePayerAction.org called on Senator Kerry's Boston office last Friday, "Homeland Security" "protective services was called in. Thats right, Senator Kerry needs special protection from hearing about Single Payer Healthcare. Thats our tax dollars at work.

A little help over in the General Discussion, please?

We need to educate the public and keep this issue visible at DU until congress starts
paying attention to us and not the Ins cos.

1. I don't trust CounterPunch - they spin things very negatively when they
write about Democrats.

That is not to say that we shouldn't call Kerry and ask him to support single-payer. Because we should.

5. Nope Senator Kerry should do what he thinks is right.
I know Kerry wouldn't do this for no reason, also isn't he for single payer. Why would any activist target him?

6. Geez....when he ran in '04,
wasn't he pushing a plan that was the same as the Senators had...or people could stay with what they had. Hell, I'd love to have the Congress' Health Plan!
