"Cost of Delay" Healthcare Vigil

I just got this email from Progress Ohio.

I'm going, pending my own death. Anyone who wants to join me, please let me know. I have dollar store candles we can use and we can make wax catchers from index cards fairly easily. The following is the email I received:


We can't afford to wait. As the Senate debates their version of health care reform, we need to ramp up public pressure on our senators to pass real reform before the end of the year. So, on December 8th, our friends at MoveOn.org are organizing a nationwide day of "Cost of Delay" vigils.

These vigils will shine a spotlight on the number of Americans in our communities who can't afford to pay the costs of their medical bills and are being forced into bankruptcy. And we'll show the Senate that we can't afford to wait to pass health care reform with a national public option this year.

Right now, there are 251 gatherings planned - including one in Grandview:

WHAT: Cost of Delay Health Care Vigil
WHEN: Tuesday, December 8, 2009, at 5:45 PM
WHERE: First Avenue and Grandview Avenue, Columbus, OH 43212
RSVP: Click here to let us know you're coming!

Bundle up, bring your own candles. Parking is available on some side streets, and in the parking lot behind Stauf's, Spagio, etc. on Grandview Ave.

To your health,
