Single payer rally May 30th in Augusta

[sandyd921]

May 30th -- 12 to 2 PM -- State House, Augusta

Rally for National Health Care for Everyone - for Life -- Improved Medicare for All - HR 676

This is part of a nationwide effort to demonstrate support for single payer health care. We may have very few opportunities to influence the direction that this debate is taking in Washington. Baucus says he will produce a bill by the end of June and Pelosi says she will have one by the end of July. Do you want the end result to be more of the same from the health care industry or legislation that results in a true publicly financed system? WE NEED A LARGE TURNOUT TO TELL THEM WHAT WE THE PUBLIC EXPECT FROM OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS!
