Petition text - Obama, Support Keith Ellison's Agenda for Healthcare Reform!

Obama, Support Keith Ellison's Agenda for Healthcare Reform!

We call on Obama and Organizing for America to support Representative Keith Ellison and his agenda for true healthcare reform – the creation of a single-payer system through the vehicle of Chairman Conyers' HR 676 or Rep. Anthony Weiner's substitute amendment. We demand universal access to health care, with no barriers – no co-pays, no deductibles, automatic enrollment in comprehensive health insurance – medical, dental, and mental – paid for by a progressive income tax.

We call on Obama to follow Keith Ellison's agenda on matters of war and peace. We call on Obama to back the creation of a Department of Peace, to halt the escalation of the war in Afghanistan, to end the occupation of Iraq, to close Guantanamo, to hold to account the criminals of the Bush/Cheney administration and restore confidence in our system of government.
