1)Start gathering signatures for state "single-payer" initiatives in every state where that can be done. 2)Carry on with the primary challenges for the Dems who voted no or who insisted on weakening the bill(Blanche Lincoln is top of the list...) 3)Registration campaigns to get "healthcare voters" on the rolls for the fall campaigns. 4)"Stop The Hate" rallies against the teabaggers, now that they've shown their true colors and the people have seen them.
Add yours below.
(This could be a moment where we can actually defeat the GOP-MSM-Big Pharma/Big Forma coalition in the fall.)

1. Some regional Democratic conventions in Texas... |

...are passing resolutions stating that they want the public option, House Bill 676, or other improvements to the healthcare system. They're sending a message that they won't be satisfied with scraps that fall from the master's table.

...there were some Democrats on the committees who said they didn't want to pass anything that would somehow detract from the House vote on the insurance reform bill on Sunday. It's as though voting for increased reform would somehow make Obama look bad.
