  • Thank you for everyone who represented single payer health care. Sorry I could not be there. I am at home, very ill. We lost our health insurance when I became ill with a genetic autosomal dominant disease. This country has become an oligarchy. We bail out big banks that send money off shore. If we had HR 676, the amount of working people going bankrupt would be much lower. Thank you everyone who supports HR 676.

  • Russell Mokhiber, Thanks for standing up for us.

  • I support single-payer health care.

  • People should unite and join these brave doctors and nationally march for the single-payer plan, Locally AND on Washington. How about October 5th? It must a week day when Congress and it's political failures on both sides can witness the power of the people.  It's a good date and we'll all promote CITIZENS ON THE MARCH on YouTube.

  • Damn they didn't even taze him!!!

  • Come on people, get behind HR676. Call the white house now and let your opinion know 212-456-1111. Call Obama and let him know, day and night. Call him and let him know. This is a big chance, don't let it pass.

  • Right on!!!! Come on Obama, I thought you were for "CHANGE", ....don't let big Pharma push you around. Stick with the common people, say no to PAC'S. You're no Abe Lincoln that's for sure.

  • Its time to make it clear to all those legislators and the president, who are NOT supporting a Single-Payer System, that if they dont support it, we will refuse to vote in their next election, for anyone.

    We cannot allow them to lie and get away with it.

    Join together as a single cause to make this defining altimatum; one they cannot ignore.

  • OK just call your senators and rep.'s and tell them you'll vote against them if they don't support single payer !!! These scoundrels work for the insurance co.'s not us.Throw the Bums Out ! They have the nerve to laugh at Americans being arrested for free speech.

  • Dude whatever I can do .... I will help ... we as Americans need to stand together on this .... enough is enough .....

  • ALL American's deserve Tax Payer Funded Healthcare.....just as Obama and his Family get.

    Remember, Obama spoke of his Mom struggling to pay Medical Bills. What's happening now??

    CEO's are laughing at us.
