So, What Happened to Transparency and Accountability?

So, What Happened to Transparency and Accountability?

March 4, 2009.

Dear fellow Americans,

On March 5th, President Obama will hold a summit to discuss health care reform -- not one single-payer advocate has been invited to attend, even though the MAJORITY of Americans support a national health plan. Send the President an email TODAY, asking what happened to transparency and accountability?

The Massachusetts-style plan is deeply flawed as is any system with healthcare corporations at the core. Recent Congressional Budget Office (CBO) studies concur. More info here.

While PDA has focused on electing a real single-payer healthcare advocate--Tom Geoghegan--to Congress, some “progressive” organizations have spent the week collecting signatures in order to defeat single-payer healthcare.

“Progressive" healthcare reformers need to decide which side they are on--with patients, doctors, and the majority of Americans, or with the healthcare corporations and their multi-millionaire CEOs. If you want real healthcare reform—HR 676 specifically—please support PDA, and ask your friends and families to support PDA. Please contribute here and pass this message along!

You can bet we won’t be throwing good money after bad for healthcare reform that basically delivers the same type of system we have now—healthcare corporations making decisions based on the bottom-line instead of doctor and patient needs.

PDA and the Leadership Conference for Guaranteed Healthcare urge you to attend a protest at Lafayette Park on March 5 from noon to 1:00 p.m.—click here for details.

In solidarity,

Tim Carpenter
National Director,

Laura Bonham,
Deputy Director,

Conor Boylan,
Field Coordinator

P.S. For good measure, please sign the Healthcare NOT Warfare petition.

LET THE REVOLUTION BEGIN!

Thanks for all you do!
Live your values. Love your country.

American Recovery Investment Act: Follow the Money

February 17, 2009.

My fellow Americans,

Today, I signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act into law.

This is a historic step -- the first of many as we work together to climb out of this crisis -- and I want to thank you for your resolve and your support.

You organized thousands of house meetings. You shared your ideas and personal stories. And you informed your friends and neighbors about the need for immediate action. You continue to be a powerful voice for change throughout the country.

The recovery plan will create or save 3.5 million jobs, provide tax cuts for working and middle-class families, and invest in health care and clean energy.

It's a bold plan to address a huge problem, and it will require my vigilance and yours to make sure it's done right.

I've assigned a team of managers to oversee the implementation of the recovery act. We are committed to making sure no dollar is wasted. But accountability begins with you.

That's why my administration has created Recovery.gov, a new website where citizens can track every dollar spent and every job created. We'll invite you and your neighbors to weigh in with comments and questions.

Our progress will also be measured by the tens of thousands of personal stories submitted by people who are struggling to make ends meet. If you haven't already, you can read stories from families all across the country:

Your stories are the heart of this recovery plan, and that's what I'll focus on every day as President.

With your continued support, we'll emerge a stronger and more prosperous nation.

Thank you,

President Barack Obama

LET THE REVOLUTION BEGIN!
