(Saturday Morning update: We're expecting capacity crowds. There will be overflow seating at the AFL-CIO at 1106 Lavaca and the TTLA at 1220 Colorado. See you there! - promoted by Katherine Haenschen)
We can't wait any longer for real health care reform. President Barack Obama's election gives us the opportunity to organize for the legislative change we so desperately need. Now, we need to stand up and speak out in favor of real health care reform!
The numbers are dire. 47 million Americans have no health insurance. Texas has the highest rate of uninsured residents in the country. 18% of Austinites have no insurance. The chance to reform our health care system will not come again in a generation. We need to do all we can to organize for real reform.
Stand Up And Be Counted!
If you're in or around Austin, head out to tomorrow's rally for health care reform with Congressman Lloyd Doggett. This issue is too important. We can't stay home and wait for others to fix our broken health insurance system. We're the ones we've been waiting for!

Please be there early if you can. We've received word that a group of Texas secessionists are planning to disrupt the rally. All the more reason for folks who support real health care reform get out there and show our strength in numbers.
Stand up and be counted, and join us tomorrow at 12th and Lavaca. Health care reform can't wait!
