The Yes Men Need You!

http://emergingvisions.blogspot.com Brainstorming: We need a theme song, easy to remember on point lyrics, catch tune, keep the protestors energized and make our point clearly. Teach-ins at local gathering places, outside of Congressional Reps. local offices, outside insurance company offices -- medical professionals and people who have been denied coverage speeches, seminar style and lectures. Sick-ins -- again in public areas, outside Reps and Ins. Co. offices medical pros set up mini-clinics where people w/o insurance can get consultations Street Theater Impromptu rallies with really impressive artistically rendered signs, singing our theme song(s), shouting slogans, open mike Letter/postcard flooding campaigns to elected reps, government healthcare officials, insurance lobbyists, President Obama, news media, most especially groups organized to oppose healthcare reform Also call-in campaigns to those people Bumper stickers, lawn signs, t-shirts more brainstorming Here's a suggestion someone else gave on another forum: "We need a "slogan" to turn the tide toward a demand for health care that actually works. I suggest, that criticism of the single-payer option as "socialized medicine" should be answered by saying, "Not socialized medicine, but how about civilized medicine?" This leaves open a discussion of what "civilized medicine" might accomplish to the end that any sane person can see that what has been in place is broken and that urgent action is needed to fix it, that a simple "more of the same" approach is not rational and will not work. Then we can start talking about what would be the civilized way to provide health care." http://www.billionairesforwealthcare.com/ http://www.madashelldoctors.com/
