hands to harm, much less kill, someone who disagrees with them.
As much as we are devastated by the loss of Dr. Tiller, we are
fearful for a country where elected politicians calmly order
and delight in the execution of their enemies. Ever since 1991

Celebrate Medicare’s 44th Birthday—Action Alert for Universal Health Care |
|
|
Event submitted by Laura Tillem on Tuesday, July 28, 2009 - 12:37pm |

Thursday, July 30, Noon
1st St. and Market
In front of Senator Roberts’ and Rep. Tiahrt’s offices
Celebrate Medicare’s 44th Birthday by showing Congress and President Obama the people, unions, doctors, nurses, seniors, faith groups, and Americans of every stripe support universal healthcare.
Medicare has successfully provided care to seniors and people with disabilities for almost half a century. Medicare is a truly American-made system that other health care systems around the world have since been modeled after. With little over 3% administrative overhead, we must look to this uniquely American solution to our health care crisis. |

First Friday Music
Meet at the fountains in Old Town Sq. (Warren)

The petition drive has gone very well from its debut at last Final Friday. We will continue at First Friday, the music crawl, on July 3. Meet at the fountains at Old Town Sq and we will fan out in teams to the various music venues and crowds. Please bring a clipboard if you have one. If not we will have a few extras.
We need more than just your signature. We need many people to work with clipboards and to take petitions individually to their churches, workplaces, families, etc. Please join in the work and fun. It is great to get out and connect with people in Wichita, raising the issue of health care reform. Please bring a clipboard or two so you can handle the lines of people waiting to sign. Hope to see you there. |
