 This Thursday, Governor Howard Dean will personally present more than 380,000 signatures at the steps of the Capital building in Washington, DC.  The signatures have been complied from his “Stand With Dr. Dean” petition calling for the drastic reform of the American healthcare system and the inclusion of a public health insurance option for all citizens.

 More than 20,000 people have already signed up to join Gov. Dean at the rally, but even if you can’t make it to Washington DC this Thursday, you can still help make a difference.

 You can personally double the impact by delivering your state’s signatures to the district offices of your Senators and Congressional Representatives.  Just go to the Democracy for America Web site and fill in your contact information.  You’ll instantly be sent your local district office addresses, a signature file and cover sheet.  All you need to do is deliver the packet!

 The overwhelming majority of Americans want the inclusion of a public option in future health care legislation; recent polls by the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and NBC have all shown numbers as high as 76% of Americans desiring the introduction of a public option.

 Help be a part of the much needed reform in the American healthcare system.  Let your elected officials know that the will of the American people must be respected.  Sign up now.
