Kai Newkirk, 3 others pledge to stay in jail, wait for Lieberman

Kai Newkirk, 29, is an uninsured American who believes that health care is a right. He helped launch the Mobilization for Health Care for All and participated in the first sit-in of the campaign at an Aetna office in New York City on September 29th. He then helped lead over 200 people in 26 cities across the country to risk arrest in other sit-ins to win health care for all.

Today, Kai was arrested at a sit-in in Senator Joe Lieberman's office calling upon him to publicly pledge that he will stop taking any money from insurance companies - money that those companies should be spending to pay for the care they deny to their members every day. Until Senator Lieberman takes this pledge, the American people cannot be certain that he is representing the people of Connecticut who need health care and not Aetna and the insurance companies that want to make huge profits. Kai has committed to remain in jail as long as he can until Senator Lieberman agrees to this pledge.
