Strong Supporters (identified with ***** in the tables above)

The opposition to what over half of Americans want is fierce by those businesses who will lose profits and want to block the U.S. from having to have Health Care for All with single-payer national health insurance. Therefore, as also emphasized in detail on the Voters Tips web page, it is important to know who the strong supporters are and give them our thanks and our solid support in return.

For the Voters’ Guide I consider a strong supporter as someone who very clearly does more than register as a cosponsor of single-payer legislation: H.R. 676 or a Senate equivalent when it is established. A strong supporter expresses their support in multiple ways, such as some good combination of talks, meetings, blogs and/or web sites. I also look at what other campaigns and legislation they support or endorse (or don’t support/endorse).

Temporary note: currently NO incumbents are being identified as strong supporters, except for Rep. Kucinich. If you have any questions about this topic or wish to discuss it, please contact me.
