Congress will adjourn for the 4th of July. Over the holiday they will be everywhere, parades, festivals, fireworks displays, picnics, everywhere. That is the time to approach them personally and ask them to support single payer, or at least not pass anything that prohibits the states from enacting their own plans.

Tell them that no plan is better than a bad plan.

Check their calenders, they may have their events on their Senate website, or it might be on the campaign website, or it might be on the web site of the local Democratic or Republican committee. Don't let the Republicans off the hook, ask them to support single payer. Believe me, there is a lot of nervousness behind that facade of Republican obstructionism.

Happy Independence Day!

Well, if you're not going to save the country then I'm not going to save the country either. Happy 4th of July, bitch!
