We're recruiting volunteer signature gatherers by sending speakers out to all kinds of groups to make presentations and sign up volunteers.

If you are active in a group that could use a speaker, please contact Alameda County speakers bureau coordinator Margaret Rossoff.

We want to reach all kinds of groups - any group whose members are impacted by the state's budget crisis. Think faith based groups, environmental and community organizations, parent and teacher groups, health care providers, seniors, fire and safety - you get the idea!

Thank you for your help!

Caseou You think health care is expensive now, wait until it's 'free.'

Progressive Response
Guaranteeing affordable health care choices for all will require some tax revenues-$50 to 100 billion per year depending on the plan-plus modest contributions from companies and individuals. But it will save us $1 trillion in health care spending.

We'll be able to slash administrative costs, emphasize preventative care, reduce emergency room visits and cut down on unnecessary procedures with electronic medical records.

A government takeover of health care would destroy the best health care system in the world and take away your right to choose your doctor. With guaranteed affordable choice, if you have insurance you like, you keep it. Or, you can choose between quality private and public plans. The health care guarantee assures health plans that make sure you can pick your doctor. And it ensures that you have an insurance policy you can afford.
