Wanted: Suggestions for good Health Care rally signs
On Labor Day in Boston there will be one of 8 nationwide rallys for health care reform. I'm planning to go but I need some ideas for a really good sign to carry. Anyone want to weigh in?

2. Or just give them this:
 45"He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'

Then call them goats.

4. How about this
Republicans support unnecessary wars but are against necessary health care.

6. Some, kind of long.
I don't want to die for insurance company profits. I don't want insurance companies between me and my doctor. Denied care = insurance company profits. And my personal favorite, Medicare for all.

7. I like these.
Best health care money can buy.
Don't have money?
Then just die.

Taxes to kill people? OK
Taxes to save people? No Way!

Health care for people, not profit.

Can't afford insurance? Too bad.
The CEO needs $5000 and hour to survive.

The CEO needs a new yacht.
We'll just deny coverage to a bunch of our customers.

8. "While you're here with your gun,
we robbed your house"

Too mean? Go stealth.

"Down with Neoliberalism"

Few will know what side you're on.

Or go geek.

"Yes to health care reform. No to the Copenhagen Interpretation."

12. Park Square at 11 am on Labor Day
Health Care Can’t Wait” Boston Labor Day Rally Message from OFA-MA
Honor Senator Kennedy’s commitment and passion for health reform on Labor Day in Boston. Boston is one of only five cities in the country that will hold large rallies in support of healthcare reform on Labor Day. On Monday, September 7, we have a chance to make it clear that supporters of health reform far outnumber those who oppose it. Agenda will include: a tribute to Senator Kennedy; 4 or 5 speakers, including Congressman Mike Capuano and Boston Mayor Tom Menino; musical entertainment; a send-off delivery of thousands of support declarations for health care reform to the Massachusetts Congressional delegation in attendance. You can sign one there. The rally will end with a march from Park Square to Copley Square.

Monday, September 7, 11 AM - 1 PM
New location - Park Square Boston (corner Columbus Ave. & Arlington St.)
Near Arlington T stop.
Send Congress back to work with the message that they should pass meaningful health care reform this year, including a strong public option!
Event Details: There will be a tribute to Senator Kennedy; speakers including Congressman Mike Capuano Boston Mayor Tom Menino and a policy expert speaking about the importance of health care reform; a couple of people giving their personal health care stories; and a send-off for the members of congress who are there, in which we will deliver to them thousands of declarations in support of health care reform. There will be musical entertainment, and the rally will end with a march from Park Square to Copley Square.
Signup to attend at http://my.barackobama.com/page/event/detail/gpkgbf or contact OFA-Massachusetts Director John Spears for more information: SpearsJ@dnc.org

16. Sorry, it's moved to the Boston Common
First it was supposed to be on the Common. Then it switched to the instructions I gave earlier. And now it's back on the Commons.
