The opponents of health care reform are gearing up and it is up to ALL of us to make a difference! We are the closest to real reform we have ever been in 60 years and we cannot afford to lose this fight!

OFA "Health Insurance Reform Now" Bus Tour Stop

Submitted by terri on September 12, 2009 - 7:36pm

Organizing for America's 'Let's Get It Done' bus has been making its way across the country calling for real health care reform.

On Monday, the bus stops in Dallas for a rally with OFA's national executive director, Mitch Stewart and other dignitaries. Stand with fellow Texans this Monday to show your support for the President's reform efforts. A quarter of all Texans are uninsured, and too many others risk losing insurance if they lose their jobs or get sick. America can do better. The time for action is now.

Location: Gilley's, 1135 S. Lamar, Dallas, TX 75215

Time: Doors open at 11 a.m., rally starts at noon.

Directions: Gilley's is just south of the Dallas Convention Center on Lamar. Free public parking available. Gilley's also can be reached by taking DART light rail to the Cedars station (red and blue lines). Turn left on Belleview and walk approximately one block north on Lamar (i.e. towards downtown).

9/11 National Day of Service and Remembrance

Submitted by terri on September 11, 2009 - 1:51am

From Serve.gov:
"This year we commemorate the first September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance. The tragic events of September 11, 2001 inspired Americans to come together in a remarkable spirit of unity and compassion. It was a stark reminder that our fate as individuals is inherently tied to the fate of our nation. Eight years later, September 11 continues to evoke strong emotion and is an homage to sacrifice and a call to action."

Please consider helping out our September Community Service Project today by contacting us to drop off donations, or contacting Helping Hands directly to inquire about what you can do to help.
