In honor of Paul Wellstone, let's get this bus on the road!
Edited on Mon Jun-07-04 11:51 AM by mzmolly
The Bus is Back in Action

It's been to the shop, it's been cleaned and painted, it's got three wonderful volunteer drivers, and now Wellstone's famous Green Bus is ready to hit the road! We're going 1,200 Miles for Mental Health Fairness, and we still need folks to sponsor a mile of the trip!

We need your help

Thanks to the support of hundreds of Wellstone Action members, we have raised money for 457 miles of the 1,200 mile trip. Can we count on you to sponsor one of the remaining 743 miles? One, two, five or 10 miles, whatever you can give - every bit helps!

Click here to sponsor a mile!
Your gift of $20 or more will help us get the green bus out of storage and back on the road again!

Please keep it kicked. :hi:

1. More info here.
"After spending more than a year in semi-retirement, the famed Wellstone Green Bus is headed back to Washington, going 1,200 miles for mental health fairness!

As part of our national grassroots campaign to pass The Paul Wellstone Mental Health Equitable Treatment Act, we are taking the bus back to Washington for a rally on June 10th. We will leave from the Twin Cites on June 6th and arrive in Washington D.C. on the 10th, with stops in Madison, Chicago, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh along the way!

The Wellstone Act is common sense legislation which has 69 co-sponsors in the Senate. The bill would end discrimination by the insurance industry against people suffering from mental illness. Despite the bipartisan support, the bill is being held up in the Senate, and we need to let Washington know that it's time to act!"

3. One more lame attempt to ask for help with an issue that Paul Wellstone
was directly/deeply effected by. :kick:
