Dear Single Payer Healthcare Activist,

We will have a vegetarian dinner prepared by Vishu Lingappa.
Parking is plentiful.  #6 bus @ 10th Ave is 100 feet away.
Drinks and desserts are always welcome.
Bring your organizing calendars.
 
The American Health Insurance Plans is coming to SF on June 15 to 17.  We want to give them a big unwelcome.  Yesterday, they caused 1245 people to go bankrupt.
 
Organizing a rally on Thursday, June 16 gives us an opportunity to:
Let it be known that we want a national healthcare program minus the interference of the insurance industry.
Involve allied groups in the single payer movement.
Involve our own activists in the campaign for single payer healthcare.

Let me ask you a question.  On June 16th, if a reporter asked you what the message of the rally is, what would your one sentence answer be?  What would you want the one sound bite to be?
 
Again, please let us know if you can attend.
