True health care reform is up to us!

Having been involved in the debate and discussion about true health care reform for several decades, I offer this observation:
If President Johnson had had the same Congress that President Obama is now saddled with, the Medicare Act would never have gotten out of committee, and here in 2009 there would be no such thing as “Medicare”.
The problem now lies with the 111th Congress. 66% of the people in our nation support enacting a national, single payer health care system.
Why is Congress ignoring 66% of the people?
You and I will never be able to match the amount of money that the medical-industry complex lavishes on Washington, D.C. ($2.2 billion in the past decade). Our paltry $50 or $100, or even $500 donations will buy us neither access nor results. We are unable to purchase the red carpet treatment that medical insurers, for-profit hospitals, and pharmaceutical companies enjoy, but we have a power that the medical-industry complex can never match.
We have numbers. Numbers translate into voters. Voters elect (or defeat) candidates.
The time is long overdue for us to get it together. Our combined power is sufficient to force Congress to do what is moral and just. If however, we the people continue going off on our own personal tangents we’ll continue diluting our clout. And we’ll wind up with faux-reform and more dead people whose lives could have been saved had they had access to the care they needed.
Where is the outcry?
It will take marching in the streets and picketing Congressional offices for us to win health care justice! And we must all speak with a single voice: HR 676, the United States National Health Insurance Act, and nothing less!
Surely, with all the progressive folks here in WA, we have the might to organize a huge demonstration in Seattle, and effective demonstrations in front of Congressional officers in each of our CDs.
The various Caucuses that will meet at the WSDCC next weekend provide a base for building the movement we need. The first step is getting our Caucuses motivated and willing to participate in the larger job of organizing events that will put thousands of feet on the street.
I’ll bring it up at the Labor Caucus. Will others do the same at their respective Caucuses? We’ll need two or three dedicated members from each Caucus to help build the movement.
Who is on board?
