From my local single payer activist, the news is that we have a commitment from Congressman Mike Doyle, not only to support Anthony Weiner's single payer amendment, but to speak for it on the house floor.

Meanwhile, last week Congressman Mike Doyle (Pittsburgh) reiterated his pledge to vote YES on the Weiner Amendment when it comes up for a vote on the floor of the House this fall AND HE ADDED THAT HE PLANS TO SPEAK ON THE FLOOR IN SUPPORT OF THE AMENDMENT (in response to our question to him as he was exiting the Organizing for America rally at Schenley Park last week. Doyle also made a point of thanking the single-payer supporters at the beginning of his speech on the rally stage, as we were present there with our signs and leaflets.)

I've sent him a thank you note, and if you live in his district I wish you would too. He's been more and more on our side as time goes on. Credit both him and the great activists who constantly nip his heels!
