A Call to Action: Mobilize for Patients Not Profits

Sam Pullen calls on people across the country to stand up for health care reform through non-violent civil disobedience in actions across America on October 28th, 2009. Sam was arrested at a sit-in in Los Angeles, CA on October 15th. He voluntarily remained in jail for five days in order to draw attention to abuses of the health insurance industry. After Sam's statement at the beginning of this video, what follows is a brief documentary about Sam's arrest along with 12 other citizens.
