At the conclusion of a highly successful cross-country tour advocating for single payer, the Mad As Hell Doctors will join with their supporters in Washington D.C.'s Lafayette Park.
Washington, DC (PRWEB) September 28, 2009 --
After three weeks of caravanning across the country on a twenty-six city, single-payer advocacy tour, the Mad As Hell Doctors from Portland, Oregon will hold a final "White Ribbon Rally" in Washington, D.C.'s Lafayette Park from 4-6pm on September 30th.
Dr. Margaret Flowers, one of the "Baucus Eight" arrested in May 2009 for protesting a Senate hearing which excluded single payers advocates from testifying, is helping the Mad As Hell Doctors plan the White Ribbon Rally.
"Single Payer has a lot more friends in Washington than the media likes to portray," says Flowers pointedly. "So I've invited a lot people who would love to the opportunity to demonstrate their support for the movement. People like Rep. John Conyers who cosponsored HR 676, Rep. Eric Massa from New York, Senator Bernie Sanders, Wendell Potter from CMD and others - these are all extremely wise Washington types who understand that single payer in the only honest solution."
Other invited guests include the DC Labor Chorus, songwriter and composer Makuik, the Raging Grannies of Madison and Bob Wickline who will be performing live the original song he composed for the doctors entitled The Mad As Hell Theme Song.
In keeping with the original intention on the tour, the Mad As Hell Doctors will also conduct what they call a Care-A-Van, lead by their logo-wrapped flagship Winnebago affectionately known to their supporters as 'Winnie.' "We really want people to decorate their vehicles with lots of ribbons," says Dr. Joe Eusterman, fellow Mad As Hell Doctor and Winnie's self-appointed captain. "We want people to have fun with it, the way we have. Be safe, but be imaginative. That's how we'll attract attention. And who knows, a few people might even get some of our MAHD t-shirts if they really impress us." LinkHere
