DESCRIPTION:A Farewell to Teddy with our Thanks and a Show of Support for the 66 
 Legislators who, so far, have pledged to: No Public Option, No Vote on the 
 Health Care Reform Bill of 2009\n\nOn Labor Day 2009: 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 
 p.m. at the Federal Building, 450 Golden Gate San Francisco where House 
 Chairperson, Nancy Pelosi, local offices are located.\n\nWe want to tell 
 them that we are in full support of their courageous stand on behalf of the 
 millions and millions without Health Insurance.\n\nFor taking a stand on 
 behalf of the millions who have to choose between food and other 
 necessities for themselves and for their families or, pay the high priced 
 premiums and deductibles levied by the Private Health Insurance 
 Industry.\n\nFor taking a stand on behalf of the millions who have to 
 choose between paying the high cost of treatments and, or, medical 
 procedures recommended by doctors and when payment for these services are 
 denied by Health Insurance Administrators, or choose to die due to 
 catastrophic untreated illnesses or injuries.\n\nFor taking a stand on 
 behalf of the many hundreds of thousands who lack the funds to pay for the 
 high costs of catastrophic illnesses or injuries for them, or for their 
 loved ones, and have to chose between losing their homes or saving a life, 
 and in far too many times, they ended up losing both.\n\nFor taking a stand 
 on behalf of the untold number of small and medium size companies, who have 
 to choose between paying the high premiums for their employee's health 
 coverage and going out of business or, lower costs by laying off employees 
 or, terminate altogether health coverage for all of their employees.\n\nFor 
 taking a stand on behalf of the tens and tens of millions of workers who 
 have lost, and/or will lose, their health coverage, being unable to pay the 
 high cost of such coverage for themselves and their dependents, will have 
 to live in fear without health insurance coverage, hoping and praying that 
 none of their loved ones, or themselves, gets sick, ill or injured.\n\nFor 
 taking a stand on behalf of the millions, upon millions, upon millions who 
 will benefit with the introduction of competition in the Health Insurance 
 Providers Market, which a Public Option would do, and that will help lower 
 the cost of health coverage in addition to help, in no small way, lower our 
 deficit of which the high cost of private health insurance premiums and 
 deductibles, is one of the major contributors to it.\n\nFor taking a stand 
 on behalf of all the human lives that a Public Option will improve, heal or 
 save; by placing people's health interests before the Private Health 
 Insurance Companies' profits, salaries and bonuses.\n\nDear Legislators: We 
 salute you, we applaud you and we support you - making Congresswoman Maxine 
 Waters' words to our President, our own,\n\nwe do say to you and to all of 
 the other Democratic Legislators. "Do what you have to do, we got your 
 back!!!"\n\nRSVP\nOn FaceBook\n\nOn Organizing for America\n\n
