Melanie's March for health care, PA TO DC Feb 17 - 24

[sandnsea]

Marching from Philadelphia to Washington, DC between February 17 and 24 in honor of Melanie Shouse. This is why.
Recently, our friend, Melanie Shouse lost a long battle with breast cancer after missing out on critical treatment because she, like thousands of others, could not find affordable health insurance.

Melanie did everything she could to fight for health care, not just for herself, but for all of us. President Obama, who knew Melanie as a volunteer on his campaign, said: “She was fighting that whole time not just to get me elected, not even to get herself health insurance, but because she understood that there were others coming behind her who were going to find themselves in the same situation and she didn’t want somebody else going through that same thing.” It was a long road for Melanie, but she never gave up.

Thank you very much.

2. Not even one nibble?

Guess that we don't really want health care, unless it is exactly how we decide.
Knowing that if we don't pass something, not only do we lost the elections,
but we lose the ability to help millions.

I guess most don't really care.
That's telling.

6. K&R

Nothing within 100 miles of me.

Think it would do me any good to go back to Bayh's office? I'm pretty sure there is still an imprint from where I banged my head last time. :banghead:
