    Healthcare Rally Update - Paying It Forward! PLEASE REC! Thanks!

    And free book for your recommendation and support.

    It's time to do something!!! 

    UPDATE on the July 30 Single-Payer Healthcare Rally in DC, 

    The purpose of this recurring/shared blog is to share information about the single payer rally and lobbying effort on July 30th, to raise money to send those that passionately want to represent us and cannot afford to go, and to encourage as many people as possible to attend the rally and represent those of us who cannot be there so that our voices are heard.

    So far, we've raised $640, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You and have used most of that to purchase Gumbun's ticket from CA to DC.  Since then TPM's Ripper McCord has spoken up and asked to be included in our fundraising efforts so that he can attend the rally as well.  So we are resetting our current balance and fundraising goal:

    Current New Balance(after Gumbun's ticket): $140
    Our New Goal (Gumbun's hotel, Ripper's travel & Hotel):  $700
      
    Your help is needed!

    To donate please use this  PayPal Link, or contact [email protected] if you have any trouble using the link.  (Synchronicity will provide a full accounting of all that we accomplish).

    There will be a multi-organizational rally in Washington, DC, July 30th to express the voice of the people who demand a single-payer healthcare system. HealthcareNOW is coordinating people to ensure every Congressperson on the Hill is individually visited by people who are determined to have a single-payer healthcare system implemented here in the United States. Please visit the website and decide whether this is something you want to support www.healthcare_Now.org.

    Healthcare NOW is offering a teach-in in NYC on July 25 to teach people about single payer vs the 'public option'. You can participate live/online here:   http://www.healthcare-now.org/campaigns/single-payer-teach-in/ 

    You may also want to send in your questions to Healthcare-Now about single payer vs public option to help them prepare for this event.

    If you would like to go and have the means to do so, the Healthcare Now site will give you information on the rally, hotels/places to stay, and help you find a bus from states close by that will take you, and others like you, to this historical event. If you need assistance in getting information or means for getting to the rally, please contact [email protected].

    New England readers, please get the word out to your friends and family that there is a bus going from Easton, Connecticut. Contact [email protected], if you need more information about joining them, they need riders.

    Please, if you can, buy a ticket and go, or send a donation to help sponsor Gumbun and Ripper so that they can represent us at this rally and share their compelling stories.  The sooner we receive your donation the better based on the rising costs of flights etc.  
    Health care reform is some of the most important legislation that will come from Congress in the 21st century. 

    It's time to get this done! Thanks, as always, to all of you, and all you do!
