I receieved this e-mail today from ProgressOhio. It seems to call all hands on deck. I'm not sure I can go but wanted to spread the word.Members of Congress across the nation are being targeted by extremists this month - their aim is to stop any civilized, rational debate about healthcare by disrupting town hall meetings during the congressional recess.
Wednesday morning, one of our greatest advocates for healthcare reform will hold a town hall meeting in Columbus, and we need to make sure our message continues to get through: Quality, Affordable Health Care We Can All Count On.
That's where you come in.
Can we count on you to go to Senator Sherrod Brown's upcoming event, and simply hold a positive sign in support of healthcare reform? You'll be in good company. Our partners in the Health Care for America Now coalition will be standing together at the event - partners like Universal Health Care Action Network (UHCAN) Ohio, SEIU, Organizing For America, and many others. We need healthcare reform supporters both inside and outside the event.
WHEN: Tomorrow, Wednesday, August 12th at 9:00 AM (event starts at 10, but it's important to get there early!)
WHERE: OSU Biomedical Research Tower, 460 West 12th Avenue, Columbus, OH 43210-2210

Whether you are inside or outside the event, we need YOU to hold a sign in support of healthcare reform, be positive, and smile for the cameras!
*Look for folks with signs like the one in the picture, above, and we'll give you one. OR feel free to bring your own sign.
