Nurses plan tax rallies at offices of lawmakers
Date: Wednesday, August 31, 2011, 4:47pm PDT
Nurses and their allies will rally at district offices of U.S. representatives Dan Lungren and Tom McClintock Thursday to urge them to raise taxes instead of cutting programs.
Overall, nurses and their supporters will target 61 lawmakers in district offices in 21 states.
The message will be: Everyday Americans are hurting and they need jobs, health care, housing, quality education, nutrition and a secure retirement — not more cuts.
