Join P.D.A. welcoming "Mad As Hell Doctors" to Maryland and D.C.
Wednesday Sept. 30th
Let's give the Mad As Hell Doctors a warm Maryland and D.C. welcome.
We'll join them at stops in Frederick, Columbia, and Silver Spring.
Then, we'll march and rally with them for Single Payer healthcare at the
White House. The Mad As Hell Doctors aren't going to take it anymore.
They began a cross country tour August 28th, and will arrive in
Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, September 30th.
The care-a-van will stop in Maryland on their way to a march and rally
in D.C. We will tell the President and Congress to deliver the reform we
need: a national single payer health system. We've learned that single
payer amendments will be offered on the floor of the House and the
Senate. Join us and wear a white ribbon to show your support and so we
movement can recognize you!
