KO's call to action - Free Clinics in all 6 states where Dem Senators are not with us
Edited on Wed Oct-07-09 08:35 PM by Ruby the Liberal
"I'll donate - will you?" -- KO

He is proposing having the LA/Houston-style mobile clinics in NE, MT, LA, etc every weekend until this gets through their heads how bad the problem is.

Edit: BabylonSister added the link to the people who can make this happen, per Rachel: http://freeclinics.us/

Edit 2: Seems they do not have an open donation link as yet. Even if you don't plan to donate, consider writing them to ask for a donation option that does not involve a membership application.

Edit 3: Also emailed the staffers at Countdown to ask Keith to clarify where to send donations.

:hi:

13. I just emailed them through their contact page
and said that KO put out a call to action, RM referenced them as the people who can make it happen, and that non-members need to know how to help fund them.

Hopefully others are doing the same thing!

9. I'd love to see one in Iowa to embarrass the shit out of Grassley.
He'll never go along with a PO, but it'll be fun to watch his reaction. Or put one in Bachmann's district and watch her call it a "Death Clinic."

19. If they held ones in Tulsa and Oklahoma City they'd be overrun....
and it'd embarrass the hell out of those pricks Coburn and Inhofe.
