Communications and Thank-You Notes

If you reside in a U.S. Congressional District of a supporter, please send that U.S. Representative a note of thanks. Supporters do not need a communication every month. However, but it is very important to send a supporter a thank-you note to help make certain that their support is as solid as possible. When I visited the offices of supporters in 2007 I was told that they very much appreciate thank-you notes.

Submitting Support — U.S. Representatives and U.S. Senators, as well as challengers, please submit your support or simply contact me to discuss your support.

U.S. House of Representatives’ Subcommittee on Health

Explanation About the List of Cosponsors

The Library of Congress maintains the current list of U.S. Representatives who are cosponsors of U.S. House Resolution 676. H.R. 676 is the proposed U.S. legislation for single-payer national health insurance. See the Library of Congress index for H.R.676; then select “Printer Friendly Display”

The U.S. Congress has never instructed the Library of Congress to update any documentation when someone dies or resigns. Therefore, it is important to use the web page you are now viewing, instead of the Library of Congress web page, for H.R. 676

Number of Cosponsors at the end of 2008: 87

As a result of never doing any deletions from the list, the Library of Congress did not make the following deletions from the list of cosponsors during the 110th Session of the U.S. Congress:

Tom Lantos [CA-12], California, 12th district
— died Feb 11, 2008
Julia Carson [IN-7], Indiana, 7th district
— died Dec 15, 2007
Martin T. Meehan [MA-5], Massachusetts, 5th district
— resigned Jul 1, 2007
Albert Russell Wynn [MD-4], Maryland, 4th district
— resigned Jun 1, 2008
Stephanie Tubbs Jones [OH-11], Ohio, 11th district
— died Aug 20, 2008

The Library of Congress reported 93 cosponsors for the 110th U.S. Congress. If one subtracts the above 5 and adds the cosponsor Rep. John Conyers and subtracts the two delegate members who do not vote, then the result is 87 supporters of single-payer at the end of that session of Congress.
