National Event:
Stop Big Insurance! Join the People's Posse for a Mass Citizen's Arrest of the Insurance Companies! March 9, 2010 at Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C.
The insurance industry's lobby front group is back in DC to defend their criminal health care system and plot to kill health reform. Reform groups are gathering a citizen's posse to hold them accountable for their crimes against Americans' health -- and make sure Congress passes reform now.
We need Congress to listen to us, not the insurance companies. We won't allow another year of 45,000 deaths and a million bankruptcies. Our health and our future are too important to let the insurance giants continue with business as usual.
Put the insurance companies and every corporate enemy of change on notice: We will not allow the big corporations and their lobbyists to bully Congress into inaction.

Latest from the States:
The Illinois Campaign for Better Health Care (CBHC) has launched a campaign asking Ilinoisans to leave pairs of shoes at their Congressperson's office to symbolize those who have died for lack of health insurance.
From CBHC: "Go to your Congressperson's office and drop off a pair of used shoes. Leave a note in the shoe with the name of someone you know who has died or will die for lack of insurance, or their photo. If you don't know someone personally, simply place a note in favor of reform.
We're doing this to represent the people who have already died for lack of health care, and the 50,000 people who will die this year because they are uninsured. We must tell Congress to Get It Done!"
