PSA - President Obama in Fairfax on Friday, March 19th

(mostly just posting this so I can use my hypnotoad icon again.  well, that and there might be some interested folks on my f-list)

The White House announced that President Obama will hold a final, pre-vote rally for health care reform at the George Mason University Patriot Center on Friday.  The doors open at 9 a.m. with the President scheduled to speak around 11:30 a.m.  The event is open to the public and no tickets are necessary.

I am calling for Fairfax County Democrats to join in the rally to support one of the most important pieces of legislation in our lifetime.  We are planning to have sign-carrying supporters surround the Patriot Center and roads leading to the area.  A sign making and phone banking party will take place Thursday afternoon from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on the George Mason campus.  Also we need your help Friday morning at 8 a.m. to stand outside the Patriot Center to greet people as they arrive.  Please come to join these efforts.  Extensive national media coverage is anticipated.  Every effort will be made to bring our rally supporters into the Patriot Center in time to hear the President.

The details and links to sign up are listed below.  Don’t let the Tea Party Republicans have the last word.  This is your chance to get involved and be heard.
