Do you remember the videos of Rep. Lloyd Doggett's Town Hall meeting in Texas that was shouted down by paid protesters?
He is having an online conference, August 11, Tuesday, at 9 pm (EST)to discuss strategies and lessons learned regarding getting the facts out to the people who have been most misled about health care reform. You can submit a question that may answered during the online discussion.
Here is the text from the email announcement with the link to RSVP below:
By now, I'm sure you've heard about the lobbyist-funded right-wing extremists making trouble at town halls all across America.
These disruptions are funded by special interests like the insurance companies, who want to kill health care reform as quickly as possible. They're trying to make sure nobody can have a productive, rational conversation about what health care reform will do for you and me. We can't let them stifle debate or we will not win health care reform this year.
So, we've organized a special briefing with Texas Representative Lloyd Doggett, actress Edie Falco, Richard Kirsch, Health Care for America Now's National Campaign Director, and Dan Heck, a regional director for Working America and Health Care for America Now to get the facts out about health care reform, find out what's at stake, and learn what you and I can do to help pass reform.
Can you join us for a special briefing on Tuesday, August 11th at 9 pm EST (6 pm PST) to learn about health care reform and how to fight back against the lobbyist-funded right-wing? Click here to RSVP.
We've lined up some speakers on the call who really know what they're talking about.
Texas Representative Lloyd Doggett talk about his experiences with these disruption tactics and what you can expect. Actress and advocate Edie Falco will tell you what's at stake. Richard Kirsch, our National Campaign Director, will talk about our historic progress on passing health reform and what we need to do to get it over the finish line. And Dan Heck, a regional director for Working America and Health Care for America Now who's out there every day talking to real people about this issue will give you tips on how to combat some of the biggest myths out there on health reform and how to get involved in your community.
We'll also take questions for the speakers. You can submit a question you'd like to ask when you sign up to RSVP for the training call.
It's crucial that we're out there busting myths and promoting health reform every day in August while Congress is back at home, listening to their voters.
P.S. - I checked the FAQ and I couldn't tell for sure whether this type of announcement is allowed at the Daily Kos. If not, please let me know, point me to the policy, and I will delete this diary.
I thought that there might be some helpful tips shared during this discussion about how to move forward with the Health Care Reform agenda.
