Plan to attend this exciting forum on Thursday, April 6th, 6:30-8:30 PM, in the 250-seat Anderson Auditorium, Predolin Humanities Center, on the Edgewood College Campus. See the following web site for directions and parking: http://www.edgewood.edu/visiting/. This forum, hosted by Progressive Dane and the Edgewood College Human Issues Program, is free and open to the public.
Four great plans will be presented with lots of time for questions. They differ in important ways but all offer the prospect of affordable coverage for a large majority of our population. The moderator is Darcy Haber, Statewide Program Manager for Wisconsin Citizen Action. The speakers are: Linda Farley, M.D. of the Coalition for Wisconsin Health, Ann Fleischli of Wisconsin Heath Care for All, David Newby of the Wisconsin State AFL-CIO, and David Riemer, Project Director of the Wisconsin Health Project.
HOW YOU CAN HELP: Spread the word. Be in the audience. If you want to do more, contact Rick Richards, (608) 255-5023, syzygy1(at)charter(dot)net for a list of tasks remaining. We need help putting up posters, greeting forum attendees, handing out Progressive Dane materials at the forum, etc.

We will work to improve our local government by making it open, easier to understand, and accessible for all citizens of Dane County. We are working to achieve positive policy change by electing accountable progressive officials and mobilizing citizen action.
