From: Anita Simons for PDA Metro San Diego <asimonsays@gmail.com> Subject: July 3rd "Sing Out for Single Payer" Road Show in La Jolla - RSVP, few seats avail July 3rd -- Don't miss the "Sing Out for Single Payer" Health Care Road Show in La Jolla! Dear Barbara, Join artist/activist Anne Feeney & Co. at "Sing Out for Single Payer" next  Friday, July 3rd, 2pm-5pm in La Jolla  -- call for RSVP & directions, below Pittsburgh activist and award-winning labor singer Anne Feeney and almost four dozen professional musicians are launching the 2009 "Sing Out " tour after their frustration at seeing the single payer healthcare reform envisioned by Congressman John Conyers in the current pending legislation H.R.676 excluded from hearings on Capitol Hill, despite having 82 co-sponsors and broad public support.  Feeney & Co decided to make some noise.  Modeled after the traveling  chautauquas shows of the 1920s, the Sing Out tour will visit towns from San Diego, CA to Bellingham, WA  to both entertain and inform the public. Sing Out for Single Payer's  1200-mile border-to-border tour will arrive in La Jolla on the afternoon of July 3rd at 2:00pm,  and features performances by singer/songwriters including Feeney, Dave Crossland, Eric Schwartz, Jason Luckett and Joyce Woodson.  As the debate on how to resolve the nation's health care crisis may be heading towards legislation this year, one singular answer has been deliberately ignored in the public forum, despite its popular appeal:  a progressively financed, comprehensive, universal health care system, or Medicare for ALL"  – which has come to be known as "Single-Payer" -- now supported by over 14,000 physicians and growing. Even President Obama's own doctor has joined Congressman Bob Filner* (below, D-Chula Vista) in supporting a "Medicare for ALL" healthcare plan.  We will present Congressman Filner with an award recognizing his outstanding leadership on Single Payer and HR 676 cosponsorship. The La Jolla event will also include the first reading of Ladies for Single Payer, a new play by award-winning La Jolla playwright Anita Simons featuring some of San Diego's finest acting talent: Jill Drexler, Dana Hooley, Linda Libby, Veronica Murphy, and Mary Relator.  Seating is limited and going FAST, so please call or email your RSVP Jady Montgomery: 858-554-0482, 760-271-3328 or  email asimonsays@gmail.com reserve a place.
