MoveOn to host rallies for health care reform

MoveOn.org is hosting "emergency rallies" nationwide tomorrow afternoon to urge Congress to pass a strong health care reform bill. As of now, 160 rallies are planned across the country, according to the group's Web site.

So, what can you do? Attend in opposition! It seems most of the rallies are around 12:30 p.m. Sure, you have to work, but you'll take a lunch break, won't you? Click here to find a planned rally near you. Show up, be respectful and bring your own signs. If cameras are present, stand in front of them.

What do you say? Don't verbally attack, but speak politely and logically if approached. Click here for health care reform talking points from The Heritage Foundation. And don't be afraid to have a conversation; we're all Americans, not enemies, and you probably have more in common than you realize. Just stick with the facts -- logic is always > emotion.

For sign ideas, see below for a video I created from a South Florida town hall forum on health care. As the video explains, the event was not open to the public, but Tea Party Patriots showed up anyway -- with their signs. The Tea Partiers ended up outnumbering those in support of the bill. We definitely made a statement! So get inspired, and get out there tomorrow!
