Thousands of people from around the country came to Washington DC on
June 25th to
let Congress know
we don’t want to wait any longer for quality,
affordable health care we all can count on.
USAction is
playing an active role in this historic campaign
for a uniquely American solution that gives you a guarantee of coverage
and real choice: keep your private insurance plan or join a new public
health insurance plan so you are no longer at the mercy of the private
insurance industry. One of the big questions that we are focusing more
on each day is how
to pay for it. View William McNary's speech. View more pictures.

Take Back the Economy
We
didn't cause this economic crisis—but we sure are paying for the banks'
mistakes. Easily one of the worst actors is Ken Lewis' Bank of America.
With loans, credit cards & other products to almost half of all
Americans, they played a central role in creating this recession. They
took $45 billion in taxpayer bailouts while spending billions
on bonuses, lavish salaries and parties—and then fired thousands of
workers.
B-of-A has survived because of our $45 billion
taxpayer bailout, making us the single largest shareholder - and that
gives us a chance to change their ways. So Service Employees
International Union and other progressive groups
are calling for the resignation or firing of CEO Ken Lewis. Learn more and take
action.
