Local elected official, City Councilman Bill Peduto, will speak briefly at the rally, as will students, business owners and individuals involved in the healthcare industry.MoveOn.org is urging all to contact their US Senators to support a Public Option for health care.
At the end of the rally, the group will deliver petitions from MoveOn members statewide in support of a strong public health insurance option. The petition text—a quote from President Obama -- reads:“I strongly believe that Americans should have the choice of a public health insurance option operating alongside private plans. This will give them a better range of choices, make the health care market more competitive, and keep insurance companies honest.”
There will be two rallies tomorrow; one targeting Sen. Bob Casey and the other Sen. Arlen Specter.

It's also good to request that they fill out the congressional survey on health and post it to
http://www.yourcongressyourhealth.org/
So that we know what the politicians actually think about healthcare.
