>> Dear Members and Supporters of Single Payer,
>>
>> The Peace and Justice Center of Eastern Maine have very graciously  
>> stepped forward to support the May 30th RALLY in August for Single  
>> Payer Healthcare. They have put together a campaign to place an ad  
>> in the Bangor Daily News about the RALLY. Please give what you  
>> what you can to make the RALLY be the strong voice it needs to be.
>>
>> Sincerely,
>>
>> Jerry

>> Please let us know if you would like to sign on to a signature ad  
>> in support of the single-payer health care rally being held in  
>> Augusta on May 30, 2009 from 12-2. See below for the text of the  
>> ad. The ad would appear in the Bangor Daily News on Friday, May  
>> 29th. The size of the ad will be determined by the number of  
>> signatures and donations we receive by May 25th. We have one week  
>> to collect signatures since the ad would need to be at the BDN by  
>> Tuesday, May 26th.
>> The rally is being organized in part by Jerry Call of Maine  
>> Healthcare Reform. You may have read in the BDN that he was  
>> arrested along with health care providers in Washington, D.C. at a  
>> Senate Finance Committee Roundtable for shouting out that 60% of  
>> the representatives at the roundtable should be supporters of  
>> single payer health care since that is what 60% of the U.S.  
>> population supports. Yet not one representative of single payer  
>> health care was invited to participate - only insurance, drug and  
>> profiteering special interest lobbyists. You can download a poster  
>> for the rally athttp://www.MaineHealthcareReform.org/.
>> Please e-mail to let us know if you would like to sign on the ad.  
>> Include your name, town and whatever donation you are able to  
>> make. A suggested donation is $25, but we want to have as many  
>> signatures as possible, so if you can give more or less or simply  
>> want to have your name listed, let us know. THE DEADLINE FOR  
>> SIGNATURES IS MONDAY, MAY 25TH.
>> Please make check out to Peace & Justice Center of Eastern Maine,  
>> 170 Park Street , Bangor, Maine 0440l with " 5/30/09 Signature Ad"  
>> in memo line.
>> If you would like to carpool from the Bangor area by offering a  
>> ride or if you would need a ride, please let us know by e-mailing  
>> or calling 942-9343.
>> Thanks!
