Shake it up for Single-payer! Bellydancers lead demonstration

Let's Shake it up for Single-Payer!

A bunch of us are staging a demonstration to let our Congressmembers know that we want single-payer healthcare.

Among the demonstrators are artist-activists Dina Lydia of Citizen Artiste and international bellydance star Delilah of Visionary Studios and her rose-clad minions.

This demonstration is sponsored by Single Payer Action, a national non-profit seeking to implement a single payer health insurance system in the United States. Please sign their petition!

If you can be downtown on Monday the 27th, please support us!

More information below:

Some basic facts here to hand out:
Shake It Up half-sheet flier (PDF)

We know 7th District Rep. Jim McDermott is on board as a longtime leader in health care insurance reform, but other Washington Reps and Senators - not so much.

We invite you to join us as we use our talents to draw attention to this important humanitarian issue -- and have fun! Wear a costume and dance with us! (Guys too!)

If you have suggstions for the demonstration, additions, or corrections, please let me know.

Would you?
I would shake, shimmy and undulate for a good cause
I do this anyway when I have a hangover
I go naked - no health insurance
I have junk insurance
I'm insured up the yin-yang, so the heck with everybody else
I'm insured but am concerned about millions of others not so lucky
I have medical but no dental, so I had to pull my own tooth
I'm moving to Canada
GO Dina and Delilah!
