Thanks to everyone who  attended and/or helped publicize the Single Payer
rally at the State Building  yesterday. There were about 35 people who
attended in a spirited gathering that  was well-covered by the media for
being called on such short notice. KCBS radio covered it, as well as El
Observador, Sing Tao Newspapers, and Sing Tao Radio.

Representatives of  diverse organizations addressed the crowd, including of
the California Nurses  Assn. (Greg Miller), Calif. School Employees Assn.
(Rosa Escamilla), the Labor  Party, Health Care for All Californians
(Carol
Dalrymple and Dave Wald), CHAM  Deliverance Ministry (Sandy Perry),
Interfaith Council (Father Bill Leininger),  Student Advocates for Higher
Education (SAHE)(Victor Cristobal), AFSCME  Local 101 (Peg Elwell), Calif.
State Employees Assn., Low-Income Self-Help  Center (Ruth), Santa Clara
County Single Payer Coalition, and San Jose Peace  Center.
At the beginning and  ending we marched in a circle and chanted.
What do we  want?
Health  care!
When do we want  it?
Now!
What kind of health  care?
Single  payer!
Do we want Gov.  Schwarzenegger?
No!
What bill do we  want?
S.B.  840!

"Peaceable: the ability to interact peacefully.  A skill set similar to
social or emotional intelligence that is unfortunately rare in today's
American culture, but can be developed by all.  The Green Parties need to
lead the way in Peaceableness."
