The Feinstein 1200 comprises the 1,200+ scientists, nurses, physicians, small business owners, artists and engineers who "occupied" Dianne Feinstein's office lobby during the week of August 10, 2009, at the behest of Organizing for America (OFA.)
Since OFA did not send an organizer to perform a headcount, one of us compiled a list of the attendees. We subsequently named ourselves in honor of the Senator whom we had been trying to convince of the importance of the public option and/or single payer.
We have since held a seminar featuring UCSF physicians and UCB economists on the potential savings of the public option. Most of our activity is recorded through a private email newsletter. Less frequently, we place information on this blog.
