Fair Share Needs Final Vote







"ALERT : Rhode Island is in a health care crisis!
FACT: Large, profitable companies like Wal-Mart are shifting their health care costs on to you.
NEWPORT and JAMESTOWN TAKE ACTION!!!
CALL Senate President Teresa Paiva-Weed NOW. Leave her a message thanking her for her support of the Fair Share Health Care Act. Urge her to continue fighting for the bill and tell her it is time large companies like Wal-Mart pay their Fair Share.
Call Senator Paiva-Weed (pronounced Pie-Va-Weed) at 222-3310. (don’t forget to leave your name and address)"

This is Newport County for Healthcare at a rally and later testifying in support of the bill. We also lobbied our legislators. Our hearing was scheduled for 2 but we didn't get in until about 6:30. It was a long day! Some of my husband's testimony & other true stories are available on the link.
