Tie (or Tape) a Blue Ribbon On Your Trees, Mailbox, Door, etc.

Just yesterday I was mentioning to my daughter that singlepayer health care supporters needed a way to show their support for health care reform all the time. You know, like the yellow ribbons used to support our troops coming home and the breast cancer awareness pink ribbons.

Today I got an email from the Health-Justice.org that included this.

A couple of weeks ago, Rick Ford in Florida proposed that supporters of single payer start wearing a blue bandana as an armband to rallies. In Washington DC on June 25, all the single payer people that came with HealthJustice wore blue armbands. We put blue armbands on hundreds more of the people there. We used strips of blue cloth, but even better, we used blue painters' masking tape. It's just the right color, it's cheap and it goes anywhere without leaving a mark when removed.

Go to home Depot or the local hardware store today. Buy a roll of blue painters' masking tape. Tape a few turns around every tree, maibox or lamppost in your neighborhood. And when people ask, tell them it symbolizes the demand for REAL health reform. It means single payer Medicare For All. Without REAL health reform, we will all have the 'HealthCare Blues."

This is exactly what I was talking about!

So today I'm off to get my rolls of painters tape to show my support and will be giving some to those I see so they can show their support too.

Let's show everyone how may of us there are that support a REAL health care reform.
