August is the make-or-break month for health care reform.
Can you come to an event with Senator Arlen Specter in State College tomorrow?
Right-wing extremists have been crashing tons of events and trying to dominate the national debate. But MoveOn members won't let them succeed—we're pushing back with Real Voices for Change, an ambitious campaign to show that the overwhelming majority of Americans continue to support President Obama's plans for change. Now, we need to make sure Sen. Specter knows that constituents are counting on him to pass health care reform with a real public health insurance option—that's key to expanding coverage and helping bring down costs for all of us.
We have numbers on our side, but Sen. Specter won't know it unless we all show up. Important votes on health care will come as soon as Congress returns to Washington, so there's no time to waste.
The event location is: The Penn Stater, President's Hall 4 in State College.
We're in a critical month for President Obama's agenda. Corporate lobbyists are trying to weaken or kill both his health care and energy plans.
And recently, right-wingers have been hijacking town halls and other public events. They're even using fraudulent tactics, like bringing in people who don't live in the district.1 We urgently need to make sure everyday constituents are heard in the public debate over health care—and coming to this event is a timely and easy way to do that.
Can you be there on Wednesday at 8:30 a.m.?
Thanks for all you do.
