Do NOT push for MEDICARE FOR ALL VOTE FRIDAY! :/

Kucinich calls off plans--for now--to push single payer health bill 

I can't keep up. 

I believe this statement by Kucinich last night (http://is.gd/4OFw5) negates the call to action, below.

From PDA:
Finally—the Vote on Single Payer
Last night PDA got word from Congressman Weiner’s office that Speaker Pelosi is keeping her promise to allow the Weiner single-payer amendment full debate and vote on the floor of the House. This will happen on Friday or Saturday.
After nearly being shut out of the discussion completely, single-payer Medicare for All is being heard in the corridors of power. This is the one opportunity for your Congress member to go on record as supporting the only universal, comprehensive, cost-effective solution to the health care crisis.
Please call to make sure your representative votes in support of the Weiner Amendment.
Four key HR 676 cosponsors also need to get a reminder to vote yes on the Weiner Amendment: Mike Doyle, PA-14; Tim Ryan, OH-17; Howard Berman, CA-28; and George Miller, CA-7. Click here to make those calls. They need to vote for the plan that most American people—nurses, physicians, and patients—want and so desperately need: Medicare for All.
This vote will make it clear to the movement which elected officials are truly with single-payer, Medicare for All. PDA will remember the members of Congress who stepped up with their support.
We need you to call today. Make our demand for single payer loud and clear by calling these representatives now!

In solidarity,
Tim Carpenter, PDA National Director
Laura Bonham, PDA Deputy Director, Communications Coordinator
Conor Boylan, PDA Field Coordinator
Roberta McNair, PDA IOT Coordinator
