Note about the June 16 milestone: over half of the 435 U.S. Congressional Districts are now represented among the participants.



As the momentum of this important campaign continues to build, the numbers will grow at a faster and faster rate. Therefore, the reporting of milestones will move from the hundreds to the thousands to the tens of thousands!

Whoever can and wants to spread the word, please go to the following web page to print the quarter sheet (double-sided) (black and white) handout and give it to people, according to the instructions provided. Also use the sign up sheet to get their information to send to the campaign e-mail address and postal address. See all the information, including suggested procedures of how to approach people:

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. The progress per district is seen here:
