Since the government seems to be in cahoots with the drug cos and insurance lobbies. I hate to say it but isn’t time for a general strike. How would you get congress attention.

Hey Louise , I also live in Texas and I hand out HR676 info .And I talk to everyone .And EVERYONE wants this HR676 ! Not one person Said they DIDNT want HR676 ! I live near FtWorth .How about you ? Anyway when I talk about HR676 they are blown away …everyone …They Never Heard of it ! And that Blows me away .Its like people are just sitting back letting the TV Brainwash them ..I think that some people take TV as BIBLE ..And I tell them that they must read and not listen to the TV Stations because the Pharm co.’s and Health Care Giants Pay the TV stations Bills and they cant tell the American People the truth .I am going to CANCELL my News Papers I get the FT.Worth Star and the Dallas News .I am going to email them right now and tell them if I dont see a article on the HR676 Universal Health Care I am ending our friend-ship .

I have written numerous e mails, letters, and made phone calls inquiring why there is no coverage of hr 676.
One of the responses I received was from Scott Burns, who writes a syndicated financial column. He responded that he wasn’t aware of hr676, but would put it on his list of homework. From his articles, he doesn’t favor lobbyists, and I think he is a truthful man.
I think it would help him research the bill if he had a large volume of e mails requesting him to do an article on hr 676.
His e mail is

This was definitely my impression this week as well. Thank you for this article, which confirms my suspicions.

My plan is to write the editors of several news producers reminding them how this issue is important to their audience.

How about releasing a series of press releases about this, and the facts:

1. the public supports single-payer
2. physicians support single-payer

etc.
