Greetings,

 

From Your Arizona Alliance for Retired Americans President Doug Hart:

“Halloween is coming early for us this year.  We are frightened by how out-of-touch Senator Kyl is in the health reform debate.  While he denounces a public option, he himself enjoys the benefits of a government-run and administered public option through Medicare.  We’ve been tricked by Senator Kyl.  We want the treat of a real public option in healthcare reform.”  

THIS FRIDAY,  ARIZONA SENIORS WILL PROTEST KYL'S *TRICKS* AND *TREATS*

SENIORS TELL KYL 'STOP OPPOSING PUBLIC OPTION WHILE YOU RECEIVE GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE - MEDICARE'
 
On Friday, October 30 at 10 a.m., the Alliance for Retired Americans will hold a rally and brief press event in front of Arizona Senator Jon Kyl’s office. 

Senator Kyl was recently included on a list of 151 U.S. Senate and House members who oppose a pro-consumer public option for health care, but personally receive benefits from Medicare, a highly successful model for the public option currently being debated in Washington. 

JOIN US!

We are asking that you come in COSTUME!  It'll make it fun and a party-atmosphere.  The crazier, the better - but even a t-shirt that says "This is my Halloween costume" works.  Press will be informed that attendees will be in costume, which increases the likelihood of press coming.

Who:                Arizona Alliance members, retirees, senior activists & working families

What:              Press conference (and Halloween costume gathering) to call out Sen. Kyl for receiving government funded and administered health care while raging against a public option

Where:            Senator Jon Kyl's Phoenix office - 2200 E. Camelback Road

When:             Friday, October 30, 2009 at 10 a.m.
