my address to July 9 noon rally..Jonesboro. Senator Blanche Lincoln's office

HELLO! My name is Gerald Bosacker, and I am a MOVE ON member from Paragould Arkansas. I am excited to see all of you here today! This is and important moment for the future of our democracy.

President Obama has been steadfast in his support of a public health insurance option and the senate HELP committee, along with several committees in the house of Representatives, released a bill including a public plan. A strong public health insurance plan will cut outrageous health care costs and is critical for solving our nation’s health care crisis, and aiding families and small businesses struggling in our current distressed economy. The public health insurance option will give all Americans a better range of choice, make the health care market more competitive, and keep pharmaceutical and insurance companies more honest. The option will also guarantee all Americans access to quality health care.

We are gathered to collect and deliver a petition to Senator Blanche Lincoln, and call on her to fight for President Obama’s health care plan with a strong public health insurance option. Our petition reads:

I strongly believe that Americans should have the choice of a public health insurance option operating alongside private plans. This will give all Americans a better range of choices, make the health care market more competitive, and keep insurance companies honest.

We ask all of you to sign this petition. Seek out the clipboard carriers with their green scarfs, and speak for the seventy percent of Americans who favor Obama’s health care plan. While you are signing, our petition to Senator Lincoln, I will introduce those among you who wish to speak on how they have been adversely affected by the present health care crisis.
