Late this morning I spoke with Daniel Chen, Senator Feinstein's Constituent Services Representative, who said: "The position paper will be coming shortly."
Which, as you know, is what Mr. Chen said two weeks ago.
While I had Mr. Chen on the phone, I mentioned Bishop Murphy's statement as quoted in today's New York Times, that health care is "not a privilege but a right."
Which prompted me to wonder, could the Catholic Church be farther to the left than Senator Feinstein on the issue of health care reform?
"Has Senator Feinstein," I asked Daniel Chen, "made the same statement as the bishop, which asserts that health care is a right?"
Mr. Chen replied that he was certain that very same statement could be found somewhere in Senator Feinstein's past press releases, and he hinted that the upcoming position paper may clear up the Senator's position on that issue.
Please come to S.F. City Hall this Wednesday at 5PM to Send Off Senator Feinstein back to Washington and to remind her what we want her to do about health care when she gets back to DC.

I can't yet get to the google group. Could someone please repost this there?
Thank you,

ReplyDeleteHi Claudia,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder - I deleted my earlier response which referenced the Oakland rally - as we learned today, the Oakland rally has since been canceled, as noted on the post titled "Confirmed: OFA Moves Sept 2 Oakland Rally to San Francisco."
