			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We had a great response yesterday from people at the Madison Street Festival!  We gave out all of our wristbands and most bandaids and our printed materials. In addition, 64 new people signed up for our email list.</p>
<p>As we spoke with people &#8230; many had never heard of the &#8220;Medicare for All&#8221; idea &#8230; and wondered where it has been this whole debate.  Of course, it&#8217;s been suppressed by Congresspeople at the bidding of their insurance/drug/medical campaign donors.  That&#8217;s why we have to continue informing more people and encouraging them to join our efforts &#8212; and then, together, we can press Congress to listen to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">us</span>, for a change.</p>
