From SPA->Who Should Resign -- Weiner or Capito?

Anthony Weiner (D-New York) talks dirty and sends lewd pictures over the Internet. 


Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito (R-West Virginia) supports our pay or die private health insurance system.



And votes to end Medicare.



She does this while more than 40,000 Americans are dying every year from lack of health insurance.



Who should resign?



Throughout the land, there is a chorus calling for Congressman Weiner to resign.                                           



But why not for Congresswoman Capito?                               



We know of people in Capito's district who are 63 or 64 years old, who have no health insurance, who have been diagnosed with a life threatening disease.                                                                                                                                                                                

And who say -- I can't afford treatment, guess I'll just wait until I'm 65 and eligible for Medicare.                                                                                                                          


Not only is Capito against single payer Medicare for all.

 

She voted in April to end single payer Medicare 65 and older.

 

Last week, Single Payer Action and activists in West Virginia launched a summer campaign calling for the resignation of Capito.

 

We're holding community meetings.

 

We're collecting signatures.

 

And we're looking for billboard locations throughout the district.

 

Our message: those who support the pay or die system of private health insurance must be forced to resign.

 

To help us with this pilot summer campaign, please donate now to Single Payer Action.

 

And if you donate $100 or more to Single Payer Action, we'll send to you the acclaimed 334-page paperback biography --The Life and Political Times of Tommy Douglas by Walter Stewart.                                                                                       

(Tommy Douglas -- named "the Greatest Canadian" in a CBC poll -- was the father of single payer in Canada.)                                                                                                            

In addition, we'll send you the riveting three hour Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) docudrama DVD -- Prairie Giant: The Tommy Douglas Story.                                                                                                                                                                                                        


Both for a donation of $100 or more to Single Payer Action.

 

Donate now and help us in our campaign to pressure Congresswoman Capito to resign.

 

Thank you for your ongoing support.

 

Onward to single payer.
