'Michigan Stands for Health Care' this Sunday in Lansing

by: Communications Guru

Fri Nov 06, 2009 at 07:40:52 AM EST


( - promoted by Kathy)

A vote on the historic health care overhaul initiative could come as early as this weekend in the U.S. House, and the right-wingers are rolling out all the old, debunked lies, from "death panels" to it will cover illegal immigrants.

To rally the troops for this all-important bill that will help turn the country around and help cover the more than 47 million Americans without health care overage, a coalition of activists, organizations, progressive-minded groups and every MoveOn Council from across the state is sponsoring a pro-reform rally from 1-4 p.m. this Sunday on the lawn of the Capitol steps in Lansing called "Michigan Stands For Health Care."

Come out and join dedicated, patriotic Americans to make a stand for real health care reform as Congress is set to vote on major national health care reform,. Send an unmistakable message that Michigan is sick of the status quo of our broken, existing health care delivery system.

Billionaires for Wealthcare - a grassroots network of health insurance CEOs, HMO lobbyists, talk-show hosts, and others profiting off of our broken health care system - will debate members of MoveOn Michigan during. The debate will be moderated by Dr. Mark Guerrieri.

Just seeing Billionaires for Wealthcare is worth the trip, and the weather is expected to be good. So, get there any way you can; trains, planes, automobiles, bus or car pool.

Hoekstra (4.00 / 1)
Was in Washington yesterday with the tea party protesters promoting the lie that Democrats "wanna take your freedoms away" by pushing for health care reform. For added theatrical effect he held copies of the health care bill and the Constitution in his hand.

And this man wants to be our governor? He wants to deny Americans the right to health care? I'd call that taking my freedom away.  


Probably (4.00 / 2)
That was led by bat crazy Michele Bachmann. I have not seen any coverage of the event, but it doesn't surprise me. He has to play to the base to make it out of the primary, and the extremist, rightwing tea baggers own the GOP. He has to act insane to get elected.

"Act" is the key word (4.00 / 1)
This blogger called the offices of Hoekstra, Ehlers, Camp and Upton and was unhappy that their office staff didn't know anything about the protest. This is what he/she wrote to Hoekstra:

I just watched you on TV and you were asking the American people to come to Washington tomorrow to protest the House health care bill.

Then I called your office and the intern who answered was unaware of your request or the impending vote.

I suggest you train the interns who answer the phones in your office; and if there's an important event like a health care vote on Capitol Hill, maybe your interns should take a break from their iPods and PearlJam, and take a few minutes to understand the issues people are calling them about.

Ouch! It looks like they forgot to tell their understudies. ;-)
