Greetings,

 A Call to All Seniors, Workers over 50 and Retirees:


Join Jobs with Justice and the Puget Sound Alliance for Retired Americans

September 15th, Tuesday

11 a.m., at Fisher Plaza at 5th Avenue and Denny Way .
That’s the headquarters of Station KVI, a fountainhead of poisonous right-wing talk radio.

Disgusted with the right-wing campaign of scare tactics to frighten seniors and derail the drive for health care reform? So are we! And we’re organizing a street-level rally to demonstrate that we’re not scared, we’re angry. And we’re fighting back!

We’ll have picket signs that tell KVI and the world why we’re there:

  • Medicare will be stronger, not weaker, under HR 3200, the reform legislation now before Congress.
  • Reform with a public option will curb insurance company profiteering at the expense of the sick.
  • Reform that includes a public option will give Americans of all ages the choice of health care coverage along the lines of Medicare.

For seniors, the reform legislation will:

  • Gradually eliminate the "doughnut hole"
  • Eliminate co-pays for all preventive care
  • Penalize hospitals that discharge patients prematurely, causing a high rate of readmissions
  • Reward medical providers based on results, not on the number of tests and procedures.


And shame on the con artists who spew out lies about "death panels" to frighten older Americans and sidetrack the health care reform the nation needs!
