Action Week for H.R. 676 begins on 06/07/06

The organization Healthcare NOW! is putting together an "action week" beginning on June 7 -- the date that corresponds to the pro-single payer Conyers Bill's number (H.R. 676). Below is some info that they've posted on their site. To see more detailed information, you can go to their June 7th page.

"JUNE 7TH WILL BE UNIQUE and a historic day. It will happen once, and only once - never to come around again. 6/7/6 corresponds with the identifying numbers on the United States National Health Insurance Act, H.R. 676.

"HELP PEOPLE REMEMBER THE NUMBER! -- 676 -- IN a national strategy meeting, Healthcare-NOW adopted the idea of using the alignment of these 676 numbers to educate people on the issue. Congressional Representatives will be stating their commitment on that date. And we are organizing hundreds of events nationwide on that date. We hope to galvanize people to action with the understanding that it is indeed possible to win a national - single payer healthcare system and soon. People should know that HR 676 is a great resource for helping us do it."
