Hi, 

You are invited to the next meeting of the Santa Clara County Single Payer 
Health Care 

Coalition. We have been very busy!   Outreach, events and plans for much more.
Please join us in building a mass movement for universal, comprehensive single 
payer
health care.  As Medicaid and Medicare, community clinics, children's health 
care...
..social security...are under severe threat, there has never been a more 
important time
 to get involved,  and fight back.  
Remember Medicare is not the problem, it is the solution!  (Please pass on to 
new contacts)
