No Floor Vote--Stop Calling Congress on Weiner Amendment
November 6, 2009
Early this morning, PDA learned that Rep. Weiner pulled his amendment and that
there will be no vote on Medicare for All.
Please,
do not make any further calls to Congress asking members to support the Weiner amendment.
Look for an email from the Leadership Conference for Guaranteed Healthcare later today explaining this sudden development.
In the coming hours, look for email messages from Congressmen Weiner, Kucinich and Conyers explaining next steps.
We want to thank all of you who have been working the phones and keeping up with the barrage of actions. While we won't get our vote on Weiner, we still have work to do.
Let's keep up the pressure on inserting the
Kucinich amendment and in support of
Sen. Sanders' bill in the Senate. And, the
Mobilization for Healthcare for All continues, as well as our work to pass single-payer healthcare in the states.
This is a teaching moment--clearly better communication between Congress members and the grassroots that support them is needed.
Next week we'll be launching Brown-bag Lunch Vigils as part of the updated Healthcare NOT Warfare campaign-stay tuned for details.
