If I'm up to it, I'll be at the rally in person...if not, in spirit for another Melanie who's been screwed by the healthcare system (with much more deleterious results)...and for everyone who deserves accessible, affordable health care. Wanna join me?
Here's the DL...
Rally for Health Care Reform and the Progressive Agenda
For more than a year, we've mobilized to reform health care, rein in Wall Street, create good jobs, win workers' rights, and combat global warming. We're tired of waiting. So a group of Pennsylvanians are marching to Washington to say:
We voted for change. Get it done now. Get it done right.
We are Marching to the Finish Line for Melanie Shouse. Melanie passed away last
week. She had been fighting against her insurance company for chemotherapy coverage and with all of us for heal
th care reform.
Marchers will be leaving Philadelphia from this Rally to begin a 8 day, 133 journey to Washington, DC for health care reform!
Rally: Mother Bethel AME Church, 419 S. 6th Street, Philadelphia
Wednesday, February 17, 12:00 Noon
Help Send off the Marchers! You can even walk part of the way with us.

If you're a Philly-region person with TM, please consider joining the Transverse Myelitis Philadelphia network (http://www.facebook.com/inbox/?ref=mb#/group.php?gid=44446668472), a new social networking group that I started for people with TM so that we can meet and chat casually. It's only on Facebook for now, so, if you haven't already, join. It's easy.
