from my email: WE WILL NOT SETTLE FOR LESS THAN A PUBLIC OPTION!

[thotzRthingz]

I received this, via email, today... won't you please pass it along
-- especially the YOUTUBE VIDEO link to: "HEALTH, MONEY, and FEAR"

**********************************************************************************************

Greetings everyone,

SIXTY FIVE members of the U.S. Congress have made a stand... that they
will NOT support any health care reform which does not include a STRONG
PUBLIC OPTION. Sign this petition, showing that you strongly support
that position, and asking them to NOT cave-in to the pressure from their
peers and the FOR-PROFITs!
SIGN THIS PETITION: http://action.firedoglake.com/page/s/keepthepledge

Additionally; please sign this petition which asks President Obama to
NOT give-up on a STRONG PUBLIC OPTION as part of any health care reform
bill which may come to his desk for his signature!
SIGN THIS PETITION: http://pol.moveon.org/hcobama/index.html

And DO NOT STOP with just signing these petitions... certainly there
will be more/new petitions as the days & weeks ahead come to pass. *WE*
can not let-up with having our voices heard! GET INVOLVED and STAY
INVOLVED! Be sure to SIGN any forthcoming petitions... CALL + WRITE +
EMAIL your elected officials... do it as often as necessary, until they
do your bidding:

CALL + WRITE + EMAIL your U.S. Congressional District Representative...
you'll find their CONTACT INFO here:
https://writerep.house.gov/writerep/welcome.shtml

CALL + WRITE + EMAIL your U.S. Senators, both of them... you'll find
their CONTACT INFO here:
http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm

EMAIL President Obama using this form:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/CONTACT/


You may also WRITE to President Obama:

The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500

(include your e-mail address in your letter)

And you may also CALL and leave your comments for President Obama:

COMMENTS: 202-456-1111
Switchboard: 202-456-1414
FAX: [phone]
TTY/TDD: Comments: 202-456-6213


DO NOT STOP... CALL + WRITE + EMAIL all of the above (your elected
members Congress, and the President). DO IT PERSISTENTLY... at least
weekly, if not daily!

Why is this so important? Because the FOR-PROFITs are spending TENS of
MILLION$ ... and they have hired an army of former congressional
staffers and members of Congress to LOBBY on their behalf. They will NOT
cease in their effort to STOP true health care reform. After all;
preserving the "status quo" means MANY BILLION$ in "profits" to them,
and they'll strive to preserve those PROFITs at any cost! They
essentially OWN THE MEDIA, and have bombarded Americans with a barrage of
misinformation.

Please take about an HOUR of your time, to better educate yourself with
the FACTS... as to why we need REFORM, why we need it now... and
keep-in-mind that "regulations" will NOT work. They always have
loopholes which get exploited by the FOR-PROFITs, and any "penalties for
noncompliance" are essentially meaningless (i.e., what's a
million-dollar FINE, when you've got BILLION$ in your pocket?)!

And very good summary of the problems which need to be addressed is
contained within this 48 minute YouTube video... put together by
HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS who strongly support REFORM of our failed
health care system:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckSyGD6uoR0 (entitled "HEALTH, MONEY, and
FEAR")

Your children, their children, and their children will surely THANK YOU
you for making this unceasing effort to bring about the much needed
CHANGE in our health care system!

FINALLY... feel free to pass this message along to everyone you know...
friends & enemies alike!
