I just got an email from Tom Periello (D - VA), who BTW is not certain what he will back as far as legislation is concerned for Health Care Reform. He is having a "rally" next Tuesday from 8 am to 9 am about health care reform. I thought, okay, so who can go to that? Not me, since I have to be at work at 8 am. Will it be a bunch of Medicare recipients who have bitten the bullet of fear from the republicans, which is what I see on most of the tv and internet coverage; people who are comfortable and worried that their coverage will be compromised based on the "Death Panel" rhetoric from the far-right.
I started thinking, "What can we do?" A book-club member suggested printing out dollar-shaped flyers, and passing them out whenever you pay for anything: McDonald's, CVS, the bank, whatever: Print out a little flyer that says: "I support Universal Health Care Reform!"
....and whatever you might want to add. I think it is a great idea -- talk about grass-roots! I started doing it yesterday, and got some conversations going. For all of us who cannot go to rallies and stand up to be counted physically, why not pass out a message to all of those we deal with day to day?
The message continues that reform is losing steam. Show that it isn't true!
Any other ideas?
