*The Senate is about to vote on the Healthcare bill.
*Recent polls show 75% of Americans want a public option.
*We elected Obama and a strong Democratic Congress to get affordable
healthcare coverage for everyone, with a public option.
*It's time to go to the Capitol and let the Senators know "We're
Counting On You."
*We expect all Democrats to support the President and get this done NOW,
not give in to BIG MONEY and a vocal, well-organized minority.
*Of course we would love to have some Republicans also support the
people in their urgent need for healthcare reform.
*We expect thousands to cheer the Senators who support us and speak at
the rally, and to urge the wavering Senators to stick by our President.
*Let's Show Congress and the media that WE CARE ABOUT HEALTHCARE.

NOW IS THE TIME! LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN! YES, WE CAN!

We need people to make phone calls and help at the rally. When you sign
up, please indicate if you can help.
