A massive march on Washington for Health Care is one of the best ways to push back against the astroturf freaks.
I know it sounds cliche... MARCH ON WASHINGTON!!! And I definitely encourage folks to show up at their local town hall meetings...
But in this case it may be the remedy for what ails the health care debate. Fight fake grass roots with REAL grass roots. I'm kind of surprised I haven't seen more buzz about an idea like this.
Surely the netroots, unions, nurses, doctors and the progressive community-at-large could organize a massive gathering that would demonstrate the country's overwhelming desire for a health care system that puts patients before profits. The main hurdle would be focusing on the goal of passing a good bill versus passing a perfect bill (ie. one that contains single-payer or an iron-clad public option).
Think about it... we could get Dr. Dean, Bill Clinton, Michael Moore... the list goes on and on.
Why isn't Organizing for America doing something like this??
We have plenty of time to put it together... the health care debate will be going on through the fall!
What say you Kos community???
