Urgent - Save Kucinich Amendment and let Congress vote on HR 676

Posted on | November 1, 2009 |

Call Nancy Pelosi!

Ask ask her to keep her promise to allow a vote on single-payer in the House, and to keep the Kucinich Amendment.

The two single-payer amendments to the House healthcare bill that were promised a vote this fall, one introduced by Rep. Dennis Kucinich allowing states to implement single-payer systems on the state level, the other by Rep. Anthony Weiner to have a vote on national single-payer legislation, are in jeopardy.

We need your voice to get these amendments back on the table.

Let’s get calls into the democratic leadership that is calling the shots and make sure they know that we expect the vote on single-payer this fall.

-Speaker Nancy Pelosi: DC (202) 225.4965 - SF (415) 556.4862

-Rep. George Miller: DC (202) 225.2095 - Concord (925) 602.1880

-Rep. Henry Waxman: DC (202) 225.3976 - LA (323) 651.1040

The message is simple: Keep the Kucinich Amendment to allow states to pass single-payer, and to allow Rep. Anthony Weiner introduce his single-payer amendment!

Thanks for all that you do.
