AFSCME Launches Rockin’ Down the Highway to Health Care Reform

[SpartanDem]

If the nation’s lawmakers don’t start heading down “The Highway to Health Care Reform,” too many working families may end up on—cue AC/DC—the “Highway to Hell.”

This week, AFSCME launches a rock-and-roll themed Highway to Health Care RV tour. It will crisscross the country during the August congressional recess to mobilize the public to contact members of Congress to demand real reform that guarantees quality health care for all—or as one of the tour signs reads, “Real Health Care Reform Rocks!”

AFSCME President Gerald McEntee says the tour will help ensure the

voices of Americans demanding real health care reform are heard in the halls of Congress and Congress hears the truth—America can’t wait for reform that guarantees quality, affordable health care for all.

The Highway to Health Care Reform tour RV is a mobile activism center, complete with on-board laptop computers, cell phones and postcards for participants to contact their senators and representatives. The tour includes posters and literature that pay homage to famous rock musicians and a video that urges local residents to write and call their members of Congress.
