CONGRESS, GET BACK TO WORK!
If you support President Obama's plans for change,
If you want to see quality, affordable health care for everyone,
If you think employees should have a free choice to organize and join unions,
If you believe in Medicare reform that protects seniors and their grandchildren,
If you are ready to join a clean energy economy that creates green jobs,
Then get in line!
Line up at 9:30 a.m., Monday September 7 for a LABOR DAY MARCH.
Parade formation at Third and Main Street, downtown Rapid City.
Picnic following at noon at Old Story Book Island!
We are calling on Congress to "get back to work" after Labor Day,
and begin to deliver on the agenda we voted for nine months ago.
Color this Labor Day March progressive: South Dakotans for
Health Care Solutions is asking doctors to wear their white coats,
nurses to wear their favorite scrubs, union members to wear their
local's shirt, Native Americans to wear the honor of their tribes,
clean energy supporters to wear green, students to wear school colors.
MAKE YOUR CALLS NOW
The last push is on for health care reform.
The Pennington County Democratic Party passed a resolution
at the county party meeting August 27 to support reform, including
a public option. Copies of the resolution have been sent to our
Congressional delegation, with thanks to Sen. Tim Johnson for
supporting reform, an urgent request to Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin
to think about South Dakotans who are without health care options,
and a reminder to Sen. John Thune that some of us don't agree
that the health care system is fine.
Be personal in your message.
Do you have health care insurance? Is it affordable?
Do you have any stories to tell? Are your kids covered?
Do you operate a small business? Don't just repeat talking points,
tell them what it is to be in South Dakota with very few options
to acquire health insurance.
Be sure to thank Senator Johnson for his public support of health care reform.
