How WE can help Single Payer in Vermont: [View all]

From Progressive Democrats of America:

Here's a project that embodies the spirit of the season, and we hope you'll join us.
Thanks to the work of countless volunteers, Vermont passed the nation's only Single Payer Healthcare Bill.

We won the battle, but now we have to win the war.
Vermont's governor has said he won't make it a part of his 2015 budget.

So now we have to impress upon him and the state legislature that this is not an option. That health care is a human right, and Vermont must get the wheel turning so that other states can follow suit.

A huge coalition of orgs nation wide are standing with The Vermont Workers Center to put thousands in the street at a rally at the capital on Jan. 8th. We're making calls into Vermont and elsewhere, inviting activists to participate.

Very Easy Calls
You get the list and script and all the training you need. All you need is a computer, a phone, and the desire to make a difference.

We're asking all of our Issue Organizing Team members to show solidarity in this vital project.

Please let Mike "The Phone Guy" Fox know if you can make calls between now and Jan 7th, and he'll get you up and running!

No worries. You can still help us by throwing a few pennies in the tip jar to help us finance travel scholarships for hard working volunteers.

Thank you so much for anything you can do.

Peace, health, and prosperity to you and yours this holiday season.

Dr. Bill Honigman and Kurt Bateman
