The Final Push: Join us at a Rally for Healthcare Reform March 18, outside Rep. Costa's office

Volunteers For Change-Fresno -- along with HCAN, several unions and other allies in the Central Valley Healthcare Reform Coalition -- invites you to join us at a Rally For Healthcare Reform scheduled 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Thursday, March 18, outside the office of Rep. Jim Costa at 855 M Street in downtown Fresno.

This rally is part of a final push to pass President Obama's healthcare-reform vision before the Fall elections.

At last report, Rep. Jim Costa remains a holdout against reform despite overwhelming support among his constituents for those reforms. At the rally we'll make our voices heard, encouraging Rep. Costa to listen to his constituents and support his district's need for meaningful healthcare reform. And of course, we'll remind him (should he not follow his constituents' wishes) that we do indeed vote.

Bring signs to the Rally, or use those the Coalition will provide. Consider bringing quarters to pay for metered parking, or use mass transit to get there. But most important, make your voice heard.

This is it. Time to Be the Change!
