Two hundred and thirty three years ago, our countrymen declared their independence from the tyrannical British Empire.

Today, will you declare your independence from the tyrannical insurance industry and demand the choice of a public health insurance option?

Click here to sign the petition and declare your independence from the insurance industry!

On July 4, with our friends at SEIU,  we will present the signatures to Representative Mary Jo Kilroy (OH-15), who has been fighting for us in Congress.

All over the country today, thousands of Americans are holding these truths to be self-evident - we need health care reform that will provide:

• Coverage we can afford;

• Comprehensive benefits we can count on;

• Choice of a private or public health insurance plan; and

• Equal access to quality care

For too long, the insurance industry has held us in their monopolistic grip, so much so that there is no competition in 94% of our communities.1 We have no choice but to pay their absurd rates and receive their sub-standard care so they can pay their CEOs another bonus.

No more! With the choice of a public health insurance option the industry will finally have a competitor strong enough to keep them honest. With this choice, we can restore stability to our lives, with no more unaffordable and low-quality coverage.

When Representative Kilroy returns to Congress after the July 4 recess, she'll be armed with your signature and those of thousands of other fifteenth district patriots.

So join us and declare your independence today!

Sign the petition and throw off the shackles of the insurance industry.
