On Sept 3rd we had a major healthcare reform rally here in Houston! Over 1,000 Americans rallied for real reform. We had state Rep. Garnett Coleman tell the facts on reform and debunk the lies. And Congressman Al Green raised the roof on why we need reform. He spoke on the moral reasons why we need it and how it is beneath America to not do this right!
Even the few teabaggers went silent when he spoke as he spoke of when we go to war and we wound people in that nation we are at war with we, as a natl policy, tke care of all the wounded. If we can do this with those we war with we we surely can provide medical coverge for all of our own at home said Cong Green. Damn straight.
Cong Green concluded by vouching for a public option as the way to check the ins companies and we cannot do reform without it. He appealed to the best of our country to do what is right. Will we? Will our leaders? The time is upon us.
Got some great pics and a vid snippet below. Lots of young people were there. Hope is very alive. The whole base was there - people of every race and creed. Dont let us down Mr President.
