FREEP the Nationwide Moveon.org Rally - September 22nd!

One of my Obamabot friends forwarded me this information from an email distributed by Moveon.org:

moveon writes... "It's time to call Big Insurance out—because if they win, we lose. And next week, we're going to do it right in their own back yards...

Blue Cross/Blue Shield Offices, 8200 I-10 West (Map) San Antonio, TX 78230 Tuesday, September 22nd, 11:30 AM The rally in San Antonio is part of a national day of action to shine the spotlight on the insurance industry. And with Congress moving quickly toward voting on health care, we need to make sure they hear our message right away.

We're organizing "Big Insurance: Sick of It" rallies at local insurance company offices across the country on September 22nd. Thousands of us rallying together will send a strong message to them, Congress, and the media that we are sick of Big Insurance and want real health care reform now."

Next Tuesday, there's a rally in San Antonio. Can you make (FREEP) it?

Here's the link to RSVP: http://pol.moveon.org/event/events/event.html?event_id=98560&id=17246-17318241-6YQ1cJx&t=3 The public health insurance option is the number one target of Big Insurance—and a major reason why conservatives in Congress are holding up Obama's plan for real reform.

At the rally, speakers will share personal stories about how they've been harmed by the health insurance industry. And we'll display many of the most compelling "Can't Afford to Wait" photos of MoveOn members showing why they or a loved one can't wait for real reform to highlight the fact that real people's lives are at stake in the debate over reform.

Rallies like these are a lot of fun—and with stories from real people taking center stage, they're sure to be a moving reminder about what's important in our fight for health care reform. They're also a great way to make a big impact. With hundreds happening at the same time, we can send a strong message that we're sick and tired of Big Insurance's stranglehold on our health.

Why would the 80% of people that are happy with their insurance come out and demonstrate? Trying to tag along with the Tea Partys?

Well, media-wise, it will surely be a classic example of extended and favorable coverage by the DNC Media vs. their downplaying coverage of the 9/12 protest.

Then protest the Presidents health care bill, not the insurance companies. Once the Health Care Bill is killed, then petition the Insurance Companies.

Wonder the amount of media coverage THIS will get, compared to the hundreds of thousands that marched on Washington on Sept. 12.

I bet there will be MORE EXPOSURE of this in the State-Run-Media, than the combined camera coverage of the Freedom Marchers.

"It's time to call Big Insurance out—because if they win, we lose. And next week, we're going to do it right in their own back yards... "

Translation: It's time for government to destroy insurance companies next, so that government can take over and run everyone's healthcare (everyone except we DC servants of the people, that is).

Let's see now...

Banks - check
Wall Street - check
Mortgage Industry - check
Auto industry - check
Insurance Industry - next on list
Food supply - work in process

Yep. Now we just need the insurance industry to make it complete. We WON, after all.
