"The Courts ruled that Free Speech is protected

Urge our member of Congress, Adam Smith,
to support H.R. 676
The bill would create a publicly financed, privately delivered health
care system that uses the already existing Medicare program by
expanding and improving it to all U.S. residents, and all residents
living in U.S. territories.
Let Rep. John
Conyers know that you support his bill, the United States National Health Insurance Act.

for building on the momentum that Michael Moore has created with his
