Peter Shumlin, Bernie Sanders, Howard Dean, and first place of impeach the war criminals exist in Vermont. Vermont is close to Canada in many ways. Single Payer in Canada started with one province. Then, it became national.
Vermont is taking the fight beyond PPACA. Sanity is prevailing. We got to keep this up. California just passed a single payer bill in one of its committees in one of the chambers. No one testified against Single Payer there. Everyone is staying strong there. California has a heavier lift because of its bigger media market and bigger share of insurance leeches.
We all need to stay together. Everyone call their legislators everyday and make sure they stay strong. Remind them assertively that they work for the people, not the insurance companies who ruin the lives of the people that voted for them. We can't let the insurers "hypnotize" them with fear or anything.
Vermonters are staying strong (home to the most sane Bernie Sanders). Californians are staying strong (home to warrior Nancy Pelosi and beat off the GOP "insanity" tide in 2010).
