MoveOn.org invites you to:
Cost of Delay Light Healthcare Vigil
When: Tuesday, 8 Dec 2009, 6:00 PM
Where: Times Square New York City (Broadway and 46th St.)
We can't afford to wait. As the Senate debates their version
of healthcare reform, we need to ramp up public pressure on our
senators to pass real reform before the end of the year. So, on
December 8th, MoveOn.org is organizing a nationwide day of "Cost of Delay" vigils.
Let's shine a spotlight on the number of Americans in our
communities who can't afford to pay the costs of their medical bills
and are being forced into bankruptcy. And we'll show the Senate that we
can't afford to wait to pass health care reform with a national public
option this year.
For more information and to rsvp go to: http://pol.moveon.org/

"Visiting Neighbors" Needs Our Help - Tuesday, Nov. 17th
The professional staff and volunteers of "Visiting Neighbors," a community non-profit, have provided a lifeline to seniors in lower Manhattan for over 38 years, keeping them independent and connected to the community.
But now, the Bloomberg Administration, in their infinite wisdom, has decided to eliminate $225,000 of funding from Visiting Neighbors (30% of their budget) and with only three weeks notice. This has left Visiting Neighbors with a severe shortfall!
What: Art from the Heart to Benefit "Visiting Neighbors"
A Wine Tasting and Art Auction (art donated by their senior artists)
When: Tuesday, November 17th
Wine Tasting & Silent Auction 7 pm, Live Art Auction 8:15 pm
Where: NYU Hemmerdinger Hall
Silver Center for the Arts
100 Washington Square East
Suggested donation (tax deductible) $50, $75, $100
If you can't attend, please consider making a tax-deductible donation. To send a check or pay on line go to http://www.visitingneighbors.org/
RSVP at http://www.visitingneighbors.org/
Please RSVP, space is limited

One of the items on the Governor's list is a vote on same sex marriage. Our representatives are required to attend the session, but they are not required to vote on or discuss any of the agenda items.
Especially after what happened in Maine, this is a major opportunity for our state to make a huge statement for justice and civil rights. We need your help.
