History of the Campaign

First Quarter 2007. After participating in the Health Care for All movement for three years, I conceived the Nine-Nine-Oh-Nine! Campaign for Single-Payer National Health Insurance in the first quarter of 2007 and started developing its content.

Second Quarter 2007. A volunteer web developer and I did design and construction of the associated web site during the second quarter of 2007 and contacted national single-payer organizations. I hand-delivered a request for single-payer support, on behalf of the Nine-Nine-Oh-Nine! campaign, to the Washington, D. C., offices of each U.S. Representative and each U.S. Senator in mid-June.

Third Quarter 2007. Now, during the third quarter the web developer is finishing technical details to be done by the end of the 3rd quarter. In parallel I am refining the content as a result of feedback from several people from around the country. We look forward to starting more communications about the campaign during the 4th quarter --- with an initial, small start of the massive letter-writing campaign on December 9.

Take care of yourself!
