Million Letters for Health Care Campaign

It's about knowledge and numbers.

An education and communications campaign
to help get improved Medicare for All
with "knowledge and numbers"

Education

KNOWLEDGE.

What Every American Should Know is the starting point web page from which Americans are becoming informed via:

— learning the facts, including specific data.
— getting individual questions and concerns answered
— reading the testimonials of Americans who live and work in other free-market countries

Communications

NUMBERS.

Informed Americans are invited to "sign up to stand up for single-payer" to help get improved Medicare for All via single-payer health care by participating in the campaign:

Letters sent monthly. We are establishing a massive monthly flooding at the offices of the members of the U.S. Congress, starting initially with the U.S. House, via letters in the U.S. Mail.

10-15 minute effort most months. The letters are already prepared for you: for your U.S. Representative and each of your two U.S. Senators. The monthly e-mail reminder is a helpful one with ideas / suggestions for how to personalize the letter that you print from this website. A link to the instructions is provided in each e-mail reminder.

Phone calls. Later in the campaign we will do (or add) very efficient (short) telephone calls to flood those offices and with calls. You will know exactly what to say to have the very short chat with the staff person who answers.

Flexing of our power as we grow. At campaign milestones we will communicate to additional offices in Washington, D.C.

The goal of 10 million informed Americans helps get at least one million letters flowing each month to the U.S. Congress: roughly 2,000 to each office. Therefore, on the occasional months where we flood specific additional individual offices, such as all of us also sending a letter to the President, the President will receive somewhere between 1,000,000 letters and 10,000,000 letters in the U.S. Mail.

 

PLEASE KNOW THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN

1. Until further notice, we send to supporters and non-supporters within the U.S. Congress

    There are multiple important reasons that we DO send to supporters.

— The supportive members in Congress want to know that their constituents support their position.
— They want to know that their constituents are being informed about improved Medicare for All.
— Our incoming communications will be a regular reminder that we want them to promote, not just support. We want to see them communicate their position strongly and often to the press and the public. Special note: if it is clear to us that a supporter is an active promoter, we will very likely spare their office staff from being tied up during whatever months we decide to make telephone calls.

2. Know about the high value of sending via paper, not e-mail ... the importance of having it be on paper and be personalized. 

3. Know about the feasiblity of sending a letter by U.S. Mail to the U.S. Congress. Hint: it works despite a post-9/11 rumor that it does not.
