Greetings readers. Last night the Democratic Party of the 49th Ward Board of Directors and other invited guests meet to discuss the critically important health care situation that is happening in America today. Congress appears to be moving farther and father from our position of single payer or public options towards the type of reforms that will grab headlines and accomplish notjing in terms of reform.
We decided as a Board to take actionin our corner of the country and to mobilize people and produce pressure on those who are drifting freely away from us. In order to keep them on our side we need to work to put them in our camp, continually apply preasure that reminds them what the right position is and finally rewarding those who are supporters of reforming our failing health care system.
We have tentitively planned a forum in August that explains single payer, public option and are going to get an insiders perspective on where health care reform is, and where the Congress seems to be taking it. We will be working on other projects so that people who care about health care reform will have an opportunity to participate and join the collective voice calling for reform.
I will be keeping you informed as the plans progress.
