Weekly Mulch: Want to Combat Climate Change? Ignore Congress.

Today is the day that we arrest the insurance companies. Thousands will be in the streets today to protest the insurance companies and their skyrocketing profits while our health goes by the wayside. We’ll be out there, risking it all, to show Congress how you stand up for what you believe in, and challenge them to pass health reform that works for us, not the insurance companies.

Tomorrow, it’s time to arrest the insurance companies.

Thousands of people will descend on the insurance companies, who are having a conference in DC and plotting how to kill health reform at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel on 22nd Street. We’re going to shut down their conference and stop them and business as usual, and we’ll do whatever it takes to succeed.

Sometimes it’s not enough to rally for reform. Sometimes it’s not enough to protest your enemies. Sometimes, you have to take direct action.

And so, the street movement for health reform escalates on March 9th.

Philadelphia’s favorite progressive, Chaka Fattah, sold out contituents earlier this month when he voted for the war supplemental (including the hundred billion dollar loan to the IMF to bail out European banks). He won’t say how he’ll vote on health care. Trust him? I don’t.

in which i call Eric Cantor’s office as an angry parent whose child has just heard Cantor’s profanity-laced response to Americans United.
