An April Health Care Forum

Dr. Pamella Gronemeyer and Downstate Democrats For Change are hosting a free health care forum on April 12 at the Gateway Convention Center from 10AM to 1PM. It is entitled Here Today, Gone Tomorrow -The Healthcare Crisis in America.

They have some great speakers scheduled. They are inviting the general public and will serve snacks. Attendees can also watch SICKO after the forum for free in the same room. Please contact Pam at 618-973-3584 for additional information.

Please note that they have not invited any politicians since this forum will help the public realize how bad it is and what they need to demand from their candidates. Unfortunately, those demands fall on the deaf ears of Rep. John Shimkus (IL-19). Many of his constituents have put the Republican on Wanted posters. They are long overdue.

• For the senseless deaths of 4,000 of our brave young soldiers and 1 million Iraqi women and children.
• For throwing away $562 billion of our taxes.
• For tripling gasoline prices to nearly $4.
• Congress could end the Occupation of Iraq today by cutting all funds.
• So why is John Shimkus giving Bush $102 billion more of our taxes?!?
