I did forget one item. Soar is still a major supporter of the HR676 bill. Ralph will go over with group some additional information from the International, including correspondance with USW's Jim Centner. Jim a good man and good supporter of working rights. Right now, folks with international all tied up with salvage of Employee Free Choice Act.
As some of you know, some of our allies have "flipped" on their support of single payer healthcare for the nation. Some were never onboard in the first place. Ditto that of the Employee Free Choice Act (another item we have no intention of compromise)
I did announce at HealthCare Now meeting, our Soar group supports single payer healthcare and will not compromise that position. We will actively use whatever political tactics to make that voice heard, since single payer folks were "excluded" from the national debate in the Obama Healthcare summits.
