How we use our words – the way we “frame” our discussions is paramount at this point. Also – will you be recording this? I am four hours north but would be there if possible. That you to all of you for standing up and making a difference.
We should press congress to repeal their government health care insurance for themselves and their families.
That would draw their attention to this problem.
Perhaps a movement can be started?
I firmly believe that the only system that will work is the single payer plan.
Katie and Margaret just spoke at our Portland conference on Saturday. They were wonderfully inspiring. A lot more of us now will be joining the efforts to end the corporate stranglehold on our lives.
We are so lucky to have these amazing organizers visiting us on the West Coast!
