How's this for an protest for Single payer?

[Hawkeye-X]

Do a sit-in in EACH of the Senate office buildings, and refuse to move until they listen - and listen to EVERYONE's personal story. Then declare that if they do not pass single-payer bills, then their constitutents will begin forwarding ALL medical bills and DEMAND that they pay it, since WE, the people of the United States, are FORKING money over to cover their own Senators and Congresstrolls.

They should be able to think twice about who they represent - insurance companies to fill the campaign coffers, OR people who vote for them. Guess which the lords and the ladies will pick to save their own asses?

1. I'm up for anything that gets the insurance companies out of the health field

2. That could be okay if people are willing to be arrested and manhandled.

I had a little epiphany this morning. We are targeting the wrong people. I had an almost irresistible urge the other day to paint with poster paint on the local Blue Cross office's glass door "Health care *swastika* Nazis". Although it's vandalism, it's not destructive vandalism, but gets the point across. Then it occurred to me that we need to harass the insurance companies in a Gandhi-like way disrupting their business every chance we get. We need to demand that they get out of the basic health care business, paving the way for meaningful health care reform and single payer. We need to understand that we will be beaten and arrested until they get the point. Gandhi went after the English textile manufacturers who were preventing textiles from being manufactured in India so they could sell their product there, which led to the nationalism movement. Maybe this too could lead to a bigger movement of rooting out the roots of corruption in our government. The problem is where is our Gandhi to lead and inspire us?

3. COngress and Senate experience a level of health care unknown to most American's

and best of all.... they get it FREE! From you and I... their tax slaves. Is it any wonder why CONgress doesn't get it? They don't HAVE TO... they are on the red carpet plan.. while you and I are on the subway to hell.

Shame on you for wanting to go see a doctor when you have the flu or when your stupid kid has an ear infection. This is not allowed.. not cost effective.

However, when your CONgress person is not busy getting a free haircut or working out in the free gym or shopping duty free in the commissary or riding in free limos or sending out free mail.. they will get back to about health care.

4. How about protesting in front of their offices with "Death = Profit" signs.
