Over 200 people have cast a vote to name our Health Care Bill! It's still neck and neck, but "Fair Share for Health Care Act" has pulled seven votes ahead of "Health Care Security Act" with "Employer Health Care Responsibility Act" fading but still in striking distance of the two leaders. "Corporate Accountability for Medicaid Spending Act" is way back with only eight votes.

Don't be crazy. Haven't you learned anything from Karl Rove? The "Clear Skies" act is a license to pollute. The "No Child Left Behind Act", the "PATRIOT Act" ... take a page from their playbook and see if it works. Think "war is peace" kind of attitude.
I submit the following:
"The Plutrocrat Enrichment Bill"
"The Fend For Your Own Poor Self Act"
"The Disease is a Sign of Natural Selection Bill"
Half the Assembly will line up to sign those without even reading another word.

WFP is a great organization and I trust its judgment. On this one, however,I disagree. By insisting on enlarging health coverage by using the tradional employer based approach merely adds to the fragmentation of health care coverage and will do little to address the millions now uncovered. I sense universal health care in the form of a single payer program, not unlike medicare, is an idea whose time has come and can with a unified effort of all proponents of universal coverage be realized. Vermont is moving toward a single payer system that will include all medicaid, medicare, state and local employees, all employed persons and all those currently not covered to be part of the state-wide program. Why not use your considerable skills and ingenuity to move NY in that direction. John Gorman

Next time you fax, email or call a senator or representative, include this in with your demand:
Until the legislation or action I demand gets done I will boycott products from Republican contributors Walmart, Wendy's, Outback Steak House, Dominos Pizza, Red Lobster, Olive Garden, Eckerd, CVS and Walgreens, Curves for women health clubs, GE and Exxon/Mobil.
Hold Republican contributors accountable for their officeholders opposition to progress.
Then call each company listed above and demand the CEO get the house of representatives and senate to pass your legislative agenda and the president sign it or they will face a boycott.
So you say that a boycott will take time or will not work?
Nonsense.
Idiot conservatives called CBS 3 or 4 years ago in droves to protest the airing of a Reagan movie they did not see but heard that it would not portray Reagan well. They threatened a boycott of CBS and the advertisers.
That did not take long to get CBS to shift the movie over to showtime which had a much smaller viewership.
Many progressives called Sinclair Broadcasting in droves before the 2004 election threatening a boycott of them and their advertisers if they would not take a movie smearing John Kerry off the air. It worked quickly.
If we can get a movie off Sinclair stations then whey can't we call companies in droves that give money to the Republican party and their candidates and Republican senators and representatives and threaten them with a boycott in order to get a comprehensive progressive agenda passed?
Why?
People must CALL their senators and representative AND these companies in droves making the connection between a boycott of these companies and a demand that they want a progressive agenda passed in congress.
