HealthCare Rally tommorow - AUG 22nd
http://www.bellevillepride.com/
Dear BellevillePride.com Supporters,
Progressives need to stick together so I am helping promote this Health Care Rally tomorrow. Nothing is more critical for LGBTQ community than supporting Health Care Reform now! Lesbian women are often discriminated and dropped from their insurance because of their higher risk of cancers. Gay/Bi men are still discriminated by health insurance companies due to HIV/AIDS testing. The LGBTQ is directly effected by this issue so lets come out and show the public what this has become, "an argument about CLASS."
There will be a big group of Progressives meeting up at Senator McCaskill's office at 5850 Delmar at the same time the St. Louis teabaggers will be there. Since it would be extra fun to have some coordinated chants and maybe some love and friendship songs for the teabaggers, please try to get there a little early to practice, say around 11:15. There's a parking lot across from Senator McCaskill's office; let's meet in that parking lot near the street. Look for the Billionaires for Wealthcare signs.
A few other things to keep in mind for the rally:
1. Please DO NOT get into any arguments or yelling matches with teabaggers. Teabaggers are billionaires' best friends since they are fighting to protect a health care system that only serves our profit motives, and they will record anything they can to make other people look bad. Which brings me to my next suggestion...
2. Bring any video cameras you can! The more we capture on camera, the better! We have sent out press advisories and think this would be a fun event for the media to cover, but nothing is ever guaranteed. But if we record our own video, we'll be able to spread our pro-billionaire message around the globe.
3. Please go here to get some sign ideas: http://billionairesforweal..thcare.com/Signage.html . At the bottom of the page, there's a link where you can download signs to print out directly. Feel free to bring other props as well such as fake cash or cigars. And please share any fun ideas you have for how we can interact with the teabaggers.
4. It's better if you can dress up! This will be really fun if we all come in outlandish outfits. If you don't have anything you could try going to Vintage Haberdashery (Morganford and Connecticut) or Johnny Brock's (4320 Hampton), but even if you don't have a costume please don't let that discourage you from attending.
5. The teabaggers will also be in costume, oddly enough. They are supposed to dress like "patriots." Make of that what you will.
Let's all show up with the primary goal of having a good time and reminding people that "Wealthcare is for the rich!"
