Subject: Rally for health care!
It's been a pretty busy summer for the big health insurance and pharmaceutical
companies.
They've been busing people to "astroturfed" (fake grassroots) rallies, spending millions
everyday to lobby Congress, and donating hand over fist to candidates' campaign funds.
Now it's your chance to show support for real health care reform!
On Saturday, August 29th, concerned citizens and activists just like you will be sending a
strong prohealth care message at four events across North Carolina.
Here are the details and contact information for organizers of events in Asheville,
Charlotte, Greenville, and Raleigh.

There's still time to make a difference and send our members of Congress back to
Washington with a strong message: Pass reforms that benefit We the People, not
the deeppocketed supporters of the status quo.
We hope you will join us for these health care rallies around North Carolina this Saturday.
With your help, we'll make sure meaningful health care reform is passed this year.
As always, thanks for all that you do!
Sincerely,
Bob, Josh, Jane, and Shae
and the rest of the team at Common Cause North Carolina
P.S. Common Cause released a stunning report detailing the enormous amounts of
money nearly $1.4 million a day spent by the health care industry to block
meaningful reform. Read the report here.
