Dear Single Payer Activist,

 

I hope you can rally in Sacramento on January 11 to campaign for SB 810, the California Universal Healthcare Act.   Hundreds of community and union activists will join with hundreds of medical students to lobby for single payer healthcare. 

A noon rally is planned on the capitol steps.   We will arrive early to deliver single payer postcards to legislators. 

SB 810 will be voted out of the Senate Appropriations Committee by January 31.  Help us insure a yes vote in the State Senate.   SB 810 will then be heard in the State Assembly.  .  

 

Buses are leaving from San Francisco, Ashby BART, and San Jose.

We pass the hat on the buses to cover costs.  A lunch is provided.  If we average $30 per person, we can cover our costs.   Contribute what you can.   No one turned away for lack of funds.  You must RSVP as the buses will be full.

 

We will deliver single payer postcards to legislators.  Please consider asking for 5 postcards to mailed to you today so that you can get others to sign them in the next 10 days.

Please return them by Friday, Jan. 8.  We will determine what Senate and Assembly districts they are from.  On Monday, Jan. 11, we will give them to legislators for delivery to Governor Schwarzenegger.
