VOLUNTEERS WANTED NOW!
Lewiston\Auburn-Portland Solidarity Phone Bank
for Portland's 11\6 Single Payer Health Care Referendum

Lewiston\Auburn residents are urged to help Portland citizens and organizers get out the vote for this important referendum.

The HMO\insurance industry lobby opposing Maine's Universal Health Care plan has hired a gold-plated PR agency (minimum campaign contract fee: $500,000) to create a massive disinfo campaign and an astroturf (fake grassroots) phone bank - Citizens for Responsible Health Care - to defeat this referendum. The Maine Peoples Alliance, the Labor Party and other supporters of this effort obviously don't have these kind of resources, but they\you\we still need to counter this crap and inform Portland residents of the truth.

(Imagine: if the opponents of the UHC bill are willing to spend a half million now just to spike a non-binding referendum in a town of 60,000, how much corporate bread is going to be flying around the state next year when the UHC plam comes up in the legislature for a final vote. Help stop their cynical lies and fear-mongering distortions now.)

PLEASE VOLUNTEER!

Purpose: To make calls to remind likely supporters to vote on Nov. 6 in support of the Portland universal health care referendum.

When: Saturday Nov. 3, 3-6 PM

Where: Office of Fontaine and Beal , 482 Congress St. Third Floor.
(Between Monument Square and L.L. Bean on Congress.)

Together, We will win!
