Special election wins send a health care message

In Sylvia Friedman's special election race, over 12% of the votes cast were on the Working Families Party line, up from 3.9% in 2004. And in Linda Rosenthal's special election race, over 6% of the votes were cast on the Working Families Party line, up from 3.56% in 2004.

That increase sends a message to Albany that we want health care reform now.

Next week, we'll take that message to Albany as we launch our health care campaign. Watch the blog for details.

Until then, there's still time to vote for a name for our Health Care Bill. 650 people have cast a vote, and "Fair Share for Health Care Act" is still narrowly leading "Health Care Security Act".
