ARRESTS of Single Payer Health Care Advocates in Pelosi's SF Office
Twelve people were arrested today at a sit-in in Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco office while dozens more demonstrated in front of the Federal Building. Demonstrators demanded the Kucinich amendment (that would preserve states' rights to enact single payer plans) be in the current health care bill that the House votes on, and that the House vote on the Weiner amendment. Pelosi promised the American people that she would ensure both of the above would happen but she broke those promises, said organizers.
