Lets have a RED revolution for a single-payer health care. It's what the
people want after-all. We can pick a date right before a vote, organize, and flood the streets. What do you say?

4. Not a good idea
most of older on this net associate "Red Revolution" with names like Lenin, Trodski, or Stalin. Would recommend you find a different color to lead the health care revolution.

5. I'll kick this idea, along with using Twitter to organize.

Perhaps use the two ideas together. 75% of Americans want this option. I think this all could be successful with a little bit of effort.

BTW: We'll see how much Mike Pence loves Twitter after all this... if we do it.

11. Stay tuned. We'll have to see when the senators start having serious hearings
and votes. We can organize around those events. Thanks for your responses.
