Nurses plan tax rallies at offices of lawmakers

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.

Nurses will be calling on members of Congress to sign a pledge to support a Wall Street transaction tax to raise revenue to pay for the devastation caused on Main Street, nurse leaders say.
