            Get the FACTS on healthcare reform to set the record straight on what is currently happening in health care reform, while emphasizing the benefits of a single payer system in an honest and educational way. We want to shine light on single payer as compared with the other plans, especially the true savings vs. the high cost of the so-called "public option". Everyone is very confused right now and we need to get the facts straight. People want the unbiased facts that currently are not being provided to them.

            We are also asking if you can help man a PDA table with literature. Please email me back (bangelpda at gmail.com) if you can come at 2P to help set up and man a table.

            Please share this email with other interested folks you know.
