Hi Steph. This is very exciting....first time I'm hearing about it.
Good Morning, California! Time to Kick Some State Senate Behinds and Win Single Payer.
Tomorrow is it. That's the deadline for the California State Senate to vote on SB 810, Single Payer health care for California. They have nineteen votes; they need two more. They took a vote a week ago and four Democratic State Senators abstained. (See Shockwave's diary from this weekend for more explanation and a very amusing phone call from Jasmin).
Here is the contact information those four Senators:
Senator Alex Padilla (Pacoima/LA area) Email: Senator.Padilla@sen.ca.gov Phone: (916) 651-4020 Fax: (916) 324-6645
Senator Juan Vargas (San Diego area) Email: Juan.Vargas@sen.ca.gov Phone: (916) 651-4040 Fax: (916) 327-3522
Senator Michael Rubio (Fresno/Bakersfield area) Email: Michael.Rubio@sen.ca.gov Phone: (916) 651-4016 Fax: (916) 327-5989
Senator Rod Wright (Los Angeles area) Email: Senator.Wright@sen.ca.gov Phone: (916) 651-4025 Fax: (916) 445-3712
You know how to use a phone. You know how to say "Please support SB 810, Single Payer health care for California."
Just Do It.
If you feel like getting angry at someone, here's two Democratic Senators who voted, unbelievably, nay last week:
Senator Ron Calderon Phone: (916) 651-4030 senator.calderon@sen.ca.gov
Senator Lou Correa Phone: (916) 651-4034 senator.correa@sen.ca.gov
