Yesterday DWMC

Thank you to Robin, Pat, Lou, Chuck, & Donna for making the trip to Toomey's Erie office today. Thank you to Bruce Hazen, Kimberly Donovan, Tom Macchia, and Brian for composing letters that we delivered. We were joined by four Erie-based activists with Keystone Progress. We put in a request for a meeting with Toomey and/or his "healthcare" person. I have attached one of Donna's photos from outside the office. We made the local news in Erie: http://www.yourerie.com/news/local-news/protestors-speak-out-against-new-healthcare-plans/730242682
I sent a press release, this photo and one of the delivered letters to 3 reporters at the Herald.
