Are enough Americans listening?

Thought all of you would want to listen to this essay from MSNBC, if you have not already. Use your browser and go to:

As we proceed in our local elections on our local voters' issues and concerns, are enough local citizens really listening to who will do what about local issues?

Are all the local citizens that are eligible to vote, also registered to vote?

Do they go to the polls on primary and general election days and actually vote?

Ask your family members, good friends, and neighbors whether they are active voters.

Encourage and support them in discussing the issues of concern to them (even if they are not the same as your opinions/views) because healthy dialogue is a VERY good thing.

Share this YouTube link with them and with everyone you know.

Are enough Americans voting? Voting to protect their children, their parents, and their wallets from those who believe themselves above the Constitution, from those so wealthy that they distain the middleclass, the working class and poor of America?

Are enough Americans even listening?

Join your fellow Dems ! !

is the topic of this month’s grassroots session

at 7PM on at the Democratic Party HQ in York City

at 275 W. Market Street.

Feb 26th The Democratic Party will have 2 speakers discussing Health Care in Pennsylvania.

• Abe Amoros, or a representative from the Governor’s Office of Health Care Reform (OHCR), is also coming to YORK!!

The speakers are presenting competing Bills on Health Care for Pennsylvanians.
This unique opportunity to hear and question BOTH Plans also means we can INFLUENCE how our Representatives vote! Each speaker will take 15 minutes to share their point. There will be a question and answer period after we have heard from both.

Please join us at 7PM on Feb 26 at the Democratic Party HQ, 275 W. Market Street.

Additional information:
OHCR is presenting a plan called the "Prescription for Pennsylvania" or "Rx for PA". This Plan is a series of 47 Bills that will hold down escalating costs such as the uninsured using Emergency Rooms as their primary care system. The Governor has been traveling the state seeking support for the Plan.

The competing Plan is a Single-Payer Bill. HELP Fund PA or the "Family and Business Healthcare Security Act of 2007". HELP Fund PA on Feb 27th (10 AM - Noon) is in Harrisburg making a presentation before Democratic legislators.
