Madison Street Festival Report Oct. 3, 2009
We had a great response yesterday from people at the Madison Street Festival! We gave out all of our wristbands and most bandaids and our printed materials. In addition, 64 new people signed up for our email list.
As we spoke with people … many had never heard of the “Medicare for All” idea … and wondered where it has been this whole debate. Of course, it’s been suppressed by Congresspeople at the bidding of their insurance/drug/medical campaign donors. That’s why we have to continue informing more people and encouraging them to join our efforts — and then, together, we can press Congress to listen to us, for a change.
Big thanks go to our wonderful team of volunteers:
Pippa Abston — wristbands
Aleta Appling — booth volunteer
David Barry — booth volunteer
Lameka Carter — booth volunteer
Gloria Guay — booth volunteer
Jennifer Humiston — booth volunteer
Stephanie Monahon — volunteer scheduling
Robyn Moore — booth volunteer
Doug Roth — booth volunteer and copies of materials
Anis Salib — copies of materials
Margaret Stephens — bandaids with our logo
Stef Watson — webmaster and booth volunteer
Linda Woodcock — booth volunteer and booth supplies
Gordon Woodcock — booth volunteer and booth supplies
We salute you all for taking time out of your busy Saturday to spread the word about “Medicare for All”!
Thank you,
Linda
