<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; FONT-SIZE: 18px; FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Why We
Desperately Need Health Care for All - Now</P>
<P>Dear Friends, <BR><BR>More about why we desperately need health care
for all:<BR><BR>This past weekend, I visited a festival at a church in a
working class area of my district. These events are opportunities for
people from the community to gather, to eat ethnic foods, listen to
music and enjoy each other's company; before the brisk, brooding
Cleveland winter begins to set in. When I walked through the doors, I
felt as though I had stepped back in time, to when I was a child growing
up in the inner city of Cleveland where I witnessed people struggling
every day to make ends meet. From this early experience I have learned
to recognize poverty, the clothes it wears and the physical appearance
it presents. <BR><BR>What I saw in the church were humble people whose
shoes were well worn and whose clothes were in need of repair. I also
saw people struggling with various stages of ill health, with obvious
physical difficulties. I know what poverty feels like and I felt it here
and I was surprised. What made this visit memorable was that it occurred
in a suburban community which had formerly been known for its solid
middle class housing.<BR><BR>Meanwhile about 400 miles away, in
Washington, DC, the insurance companies have wielded enormous influence
to knock a public option out of the Senate Finance Committee health care
bill and we still struggle to keep the public option alive in the House.
A decision is due soon from the full Senate. Will they actually pass a
bill which requires that Americans buy private insurance? The House
continues to try to determine the shape and content of our legislation.
<BR><BR>The political system is failing the American people. Money for
Wall Street, not for Main Street. Money for War, not for Peace. Money to
move jobs out of America, not to create new jobs here. Money for
insurance companies, but what about the people? <BR><BR>While 47 million
uninsured wait for an answer, and another 50 million underinsured stand
by, Americans are losing their jobs, their homes, their health care and
their retirement security. How long can people wait for help? <BR><BR>I
am asking you to continue to join me in the push to have a state single
payer amendment in the health care bill. Whatever passes the Congress
will be insufficient to meet the broad based health care needs of the
American people, which is why it is important to give the states the
option to move toward single payer. Call your representative now and
demand that the Kucinich state single payer amendment remain in the
bill. <BR><BR>In my community, and many others across our nation, the
level of human suffering from an economy "gone bad" is rising to
shocking levels. A recent US Census report states that in this decade
the number of northeastern Ohioans who live fractionally above the
poverty line has risen 10% - to a quarter of a million people.
<BR><BR>But I do not see cold statistics. I see real people. I see the
poverty lining their faces. I see their eyes asking: Why?
<BR><BR>Sincerely, <BR><IMG alt=Dennis
