As anyone who has not been living under a rock knows, healthcare reform has been the hot button issue during most of President Obama's time in office.  It is now closer than ever.  

Many of us have dealt with the misinformed and industry funded opposition to reform that has showed up in large and small numbers at events throughout the country and gaining media attention.  For too long, we have stood there silent and afraid to speak our mind.  Now, our turn has arrived.

Congressman Frank Pallone (D-Long Branch) has been influential in this debate as chairman of the health subcommittee and has been working on healthcare for a long time.  He is very aware of how his work on this bill has made him a prime target for the teabaggers.  He and most members of Congress will tell anyone that the opposition to healthcare reform is more vocal than the support.  

Join Monmouth Democracy for America, Progressive Democrats of America, Organizing for America, and the Bus for Change for a rally outside of Congressman Pallone's office at 504 Broadway in Long Branch on Saturday March 20 at 2:30 P.M.  If he's in New Jersey, he will address the crowd.   Whether he is in Washington or New Jersey, it is very important that he knows that we support him and this bill.

Bring friends and signs to show your support for the legislation (that is not perfect, but is a good step in the right direction when it comes to controlling rising health care costs and insuring 30 million additional Americans.)
