Hey guys for all of you who feel the need to do something to support healthcare reform...participants of the IL Organizing for America organization are having a Healthcare Reform party at 3201 Buckley Rd, North Chicago, IL 60064 @ 12:00pm on 8/1/09.
We will be brainstorming ideas to ensure that our elected officials hear our voices and discussing ideas on how we can support a national Healthcare Reform campaign. I think all Kossacks should go to the Organizing for America website and either participate in a local event (all politics are local especially in this month of August) or plan an event yourself. One Kossack even suggested "Welcome Home Parties"!! We will also be joining forces with Healthcare for America Now (HCAN) on 8/4/09 @ the Federal Building in Chicago, Illinois at 4:00pm. This is a rally where representative Jan Schakowski will be one of the featured speakers.
If you can't donate your time, donations would be welcomed too. OFA will need all the donations they can get with the healthcare industry spending 1.3 million dollars per day to block real healthcare reform.
I hope to see some of you at at least one of the events.
I am STILL fired-up and ready to GO!!!!
