Oregon Healthcare for Kids

Rally

On the Steps of the State Capitol

In Salem, Oregon

11 AM – 2PM

This Thursday July 7th, 2005.

Speakers:

Representatives Billy Dalto-R, Mitch Greenlick-D, Jeff Merkley-D, State Senators Vicki Walker-D, Alan Bates-D, and Ben Westlund-R, and Oregon College Republicans Chair John Swanson.

 

Speaker of the House Karen Minnis is not allowing a vote on House Bill 3500, which would provide healthcare to the 100,000 Oregon kids who do not have it.

 

The bill, if voted on, would easily pass the house and senate, and be passed by the voters, but Karen Minnis is single-handedly impeding the democratic process! Come show your support for Democracy and Healthcare for Kids.

We will bring signs, but bring your own if you like.

There will be a carpool from Portland at Reed College, in Eliot Circle (The Main Entrance) at 9:30 AM on Thursday. Join us then if you need a ride to Salem.

If you're already in Salem, we'll see you there!
