It currently has 93 co-sponsors including exactly ZERO from CT.

You can learn more about HR676 at: www.hr676.org

Please consider writing an email, a letter or taking a minute to call Congress and
contact the white house, too!

Please forward this message widely!

The government and elite class it represents are certainly not going to just give the tax-paying citizens anything unless they strongly demand it!



Peace & Solidarity,

Dear Rep. Courtney,

I'm writing today to urge you to please co-sponsor HR-676 if you have not already done so.

In this time of economic crisis, caused in part by excessive home foreclosures, I think it is important to consider that one of the top causes of bankruptcy and foreclosure is exorbitant medical bills. This is true for both the insured and those who cannot afford private insurance, but do not qualify for medicaid (a very large section of the population).

Health care ought to be a basic human right for all...especially in such a wealthy nation as ours. Congress seems to have no problems funding an extremely bloated, empire-sized military, multiple reckless wars abroad and bailouts for bankers (thank you for voting against TARP), but we can't seem to conjure up any money to take care of our own citizens? WE are the folks who pay all of the taxes to fund everything. Large corporations pay virtually nothing and yet their interests are constantly served by this government.

It's time to start putting the people's well being before profits and return to a more civilized society.

Please help to do this by co-sponsoring HR-676 and making the good fight for REAL universal health care a priority in this session.

Thank You,

Todd Vachon
