Health Care Integrated Talking Points (PDF)
Healthcare NOT Warfare - Sign the Petition
As PDA board member Norman Solomon pointed out in this article, "nearly one in six Americans has no health insurance, and tens of millions of others are woefully under-insured--while the war in Iraq continues to further skew the U.S. government's budget priorities."
We say "Healthcare NOT Warfare" and ask you to join our campaign.
The time has come to redirect unnecessary and wasteful military spending to meeting human needs.
Among those needs is the healthcare crisis and we're focusing our attention on the Democratic Party by gathering signatures on a petition to prioritize "Healthcare NOT Warfare." The signed petition will be distributed to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Democratic Committee Chairman Howard Dean, and your member of Congress.
In addition, we hope to pass resolutions to support "Healthcare NOT Warfare" at the upcoming local, state, and national Democratic conventions, and in cities, counties, and states across the country.
