We've all noticed the call around here to do what we can to pass substantive health care. No robust public option (at the very, very least), no reform, right?
Well, I'm adding my voice to another diary on the rec list in hopes that we can start coalescing movements and organization to put together one massive, HUGE, national day of marches in support of health care reform.
For a few weeks now, some of us have taken the call to heart like so many other here on Kos, working to organize simultaneous marches around the country at noon on September 13th. We've been communicating via the March for Healthcare facebook group- we have the will power. We are all busy with our daily lives, just like the rest of this community, but we are trying as hard as we can. We are dedicated to this cause.
But...WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!!! Now that I see that many of us are thinking the same thing for the same day, let's use these here internets to make virtual connections and MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!!
I can't remember if it was here or on facebook that I first noticed the March for Healthcare group. I joined instantly. I've using FB incessantly for months to post links and other information on health care reform. I've gotten into flame wars and lost a few friends in the meantime. But I know that I'm one of many trying to organize these marches in cities across the U.S.
I am personally working from Dallas to put together a march in Austin, TX. We have folks all over the country and we want this to be BIG. No one here on DailyKos needs to be reminded that this is the cause of a lifetime. But we need your help!
So, please, check out www.marchforhealthcare.com. And I'll make a plug for the other group: www.americansunitedforhcr.wordpress.com. Find a rally- make a rally happen- WE'VE GOT TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN!
YES, WE CAN!
