Sing Out for Single Payer Road Show

The encouraging word of the day. Friend Brian just posted this. One of those things I have to nudge further out into the current of thought about what can be done by people coming together.

*********
• Anne Feeney has put together almost four dozen acclaimed musicians to launch the Sing Out for Single Payer Road Show. Modeled after the traveling chautauquas of the 1930s, these concerts will take place nightly from San Diego, CA to Bellingham, WA. I will be in on the concerts in Eugene, Portland, and Vancouver, Snohomish and Olympia in Washington state and other confirmed performers are Adam + Kris, Austin's Green Mountain Grass, Raina Rose, Jason Luckett, Patrick Dodd and others

And this respectfully borrowed from Anne Feeney's website:
*********
We believe that single payer health insurance is the only real solution to 50 million uninsured and countless millions of underinsured people in this country. We're working closely with health care professionals and activists in all three states [CA, OR, & WA]. This tour is sponsored and endorsed by all the groups mentioned above [California Nurses Association, Jobs With Justice, Physicians for a National Health Program, and others], along with generous contributions from many doctors, nurses and concerned individuals, including Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary. We hope you'll catch one of these shows and PLEASE - tell your friends. Call your Representative in Congress today and thank him or her for sponsoring HR 676. If s/he is not one of the 80 co-sponsors, ask him/her to sponsor HR 676. Call your Senators and ask them to sponsor SB 703. Thank you! National Health Care NOW!!
