The road-tripping, physician-activists from Oregon known as the Mad As Hell Doctors (http://www.MadAsHellDoctors.com)received a pressing call
from the White House this week to demand they remove a letter on their website (https://madashelldoctorstour.com/Letter_to_Obama.html) requesting a meeting with President Obama to discuss the moral, social
and fiscal imperative of a single payer health care system. The reason for the call: too many emails from supporters have overwhelmed the White House inbox.
Adam Klugman, National Creative Director for the Mad As Hell Doctors campaign and the person who received the call, puts it this way. Chris Whitty from the White House Office of
Scheduling called me and said that he has been 'sbesieged with emails's from within the millions of single payer supporters in this country who feel that Congress and the President have
completely turned their back on them. It told him that it'ss not our campaign that'ss applying pressure. It'ss the people. I also told him that we'sd be glad to take the letter down, just
as soon as the President agrees to meet with us (https://madashelldoctorstour.com/Letter_to_Obama.html).
When Dr. Paul Hochfeld, (https://madashelldoctorstour.com/Meet_The_Docs.html) an E.R. physician from Corvallis, Oregon
and a fellow Mad As Hell Doctor, heard about the call he was encouraged. Getting a phone call like this from the White House means it'ss working. They hear us. They know we'sre here. And
now they know that we speak for much of the Single Payer Nation who absolutely deserve to be heard on this issue. The only question is, will the White House listen
We have to keep putting pressure on the White House, says Klugman. We'sre getting through to the people who make the decisions. That means it is critical that all of us intensify the
letter writing campaign. Single payer supporters need to log on to our website, go the'sLetter to Obama's page (https://madashelldoctorstour.com/Letter_to_Obama.html)and fill out the support letter today. It'ss obviously working but we'sve
got to step it up.
