[juli3 at aol.com]

OSITIVE NEW IDEA FOR HEALTH CARE WE CAN DO RIGHT NOW 
We've been hearing about a POSITIVE new proposal for health care 
eform we want to throw 100% of our weight behind. 
There IS an option that could redeem even the Senate health insurance 
ill in consideration, presuming we get an iron clad commitment up 
ront that it will be done. And that is to provide that people 
ounger than 65 should be permitted the OPTION of buying into the 
edicare. 
Medicare Option Under 65 Action Page: 
ttp://www.peaceteam.net/action/pnum1039.php 
This is a simple, common sense idea that nobody could justifiably 
ppose. Instead of cutting Medicare, which is the most efficient and 
conomical health care program in the country, why not bring more 
oney into Medicare and strengthen it, by giving the American people 
he freedom to make THAT one of their choices, regardless of any 
ther bill that passes? 
The only real public option has always been and remains Medicare. We 
ay let "The Medicare Option" BE the public option. 
Please submit this action page now, to tell Congress that THIS is 
hey way they must go in reconciliation.

And in conjunction with this initiative we are launching a 
pectacular new function for our Facebook participants only. If you 
re not on Facebook already please just use the regular action link 
bove, otherwise please read on. 
We have already told you about our Voices application, which empowers 
nyone with a Facebook page to submit and create their own action 
ages, right on a tab on their profile page. Our progressive friends 
t Democrats.com have created a complete series of 435 such profile 
ages, one for each congressional district. And we have created for 
hem a special jump page on their main Facebook here: 
[Facebook] Local District Jump Page: 
ttp://www.facebook.com/democratscom?v=app_2370152746 
There is a message on this page with much more about the mission of 
his project. Just select your state and congressional district 
umber on the page above, or if you don't know your congressional 
istrict number there is an easy lookup function there as well (from 
our street address and zip code), and you will be automatically be 
edirected to the new organizing page for your district. 
As of this moment these district number pages are all just blank 
lates to start with, which is where YOU come in. We need everyone to 
ook up with the page for their district. Say hello, leave a post, 
ecome a fan, and these pages will become organizing centers for all 
uture progressive mobilization purposes local district by local 
istrict. 
It is time we harnessed the social media to achieve their awesome 
rue organizing potential, and with 300 million users already on 
acebook, and all the magical application technology we have created, 
here is no limit to what we can do if YOU just go there and 
articipate. 
By the way, if you click on the Voices tab of any of these district 
ages, you will find a Facebook version of the very same "The 
edicare Option" action page. And you can also get to it from any of 
he "watch list" links, again on any of the Voices tabs. 
And this is the Twitter reply for the Medicare Option Under 65 action 
@cxs #p1039 
Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed 
o be ours, and forward this alert as widely as possible. 
If you would like to get alerts like these, you can do so at
