<http://www.1payer.net/>Home <http://www.1payer.net/action-alerts.html>Take Action Important Phone Call or Fax TODAY <http://www.1payer.net/faxapp/senders/add/cid:19>Click here to send a fax to the key legislators now. Congress member Dennis Kucinich of Ohio will be introducing an important single-payer amendment today, Thursday - the House healthcare reform bill. The Kucinich amendment which gives states the right to pass and implement state-based single payer plans and will ensure the federal rules waivers required to allow that innovation. It will benefit millions of Americans - from California to Pennsylvania to Illinois to New York and beyond. While not stepping away from our shared fight for HR676 and national single-payer reform, this is a chance for nurses and patients to help Rep. Kucinich to press the single payer fight forward during this legislative session. Please make your call immediately as a vote is expected to be held today. We have built strong support in California for state single-payer reform, having passed it in the legislature twice, and in other states including Pennsylvania and Illinois so we can win going through the states. Single payer remains the best way to provide healthcare for all - and the most effective way to improve quality of care and control costs. Now is the time for us to contact Democratic members of the House Education and Labor Committee to support the Kucinich amendment. Please call now. Call the Chair of the Committee, George Miller, at: (202) 225-3725 Calls are also needed to five of the key Democratic members of the Education and Labor Committee where Rep. Kucinich will offer his amendment, especially if you are a resident of their district or state. Rep. Dale Kildee of Michigan: (202) 225-3611 Rep. Susan Davis of California: (202) 225-2040 Rep. David Wu of Oregon: (202) 225-0855 Rep. Carolyn McCarthy of New York: (202) 225-5516 Rep. Mazie Hirono of Hawaii: (202) 225-4906 Here's a sample of what to say: "Hello, My name is __________, I urge the Representative to vote YES on Representative Dennis Kucinich's state-based single-payer amendment to the Education and Labor Committee's healthcare bill." If you are a resident of their Congressional district, be sure to say that as well. Together we can win.
