Day 229:
Support universal health care!
Everything is impossible until it isn’t. Women getting the right to vote, freeing the slaves, gay marriage, 15$ minimum wage, universal health care, donald trump getting elected.
Nothing is impossible with a lot of hard work and luck (and in the case of Trump, a Clinton running for office again).
I want everyone in America to have universale health care, and its looking like Bernies bill might do just that. It almost certainly wont pass, its impossible, will never happen…until it does happen.
Might not be now, might not be next election, but if we keep pushing, and we enshrine this idea as a core democratic party ideal it will happen. We need to turn the democrats into a party that fights back instead of one that rolls over for the big money.
This can and must happen! Call your senator today and urge them to cosign bernies medicare for all bill, and call your rep and tell them to cosign the conyers health care bill. It wont happen unless we make it happen!
If your senator/reps wont vote the way you want, VOTE THEM OUT OF OFFICE. Maybe the next person in that seat will be a little more receptive to the demands of the people.
