We very much need for all Americans to have heard of "single-payer" and to learn at least some key information about what means ... and then have a million or more sign up for the Million Letters for Health Care Campaign ... and have at least 2,299 participants in each U.S. Congressional District.

Control of Opinions

New web page:

Fully appreciate the media's power over public opinion:

Are we powerless? NO!! WE have the POWER of our communications to our U.S. Representatives and U.S. Senators and our votes in the next election.

The immense power of the health insurance companies can be overcome with the overwhelming force of thousands of educated constituents communicating to each of the U.S. Representatives, who love to report to the press that very strong input was received from their constituents on a topic and that they responded positively to the input.

- Bob for all those who are working to help make the Million Letters for Health Care Campaign a success
