*DEMYSTIFYING THE HEALTH CARE DEBATE -Harlem4*

WHERE: 2479 Frederick Douglass Blvd just below 133rd

Join The H4 Series/ Town Hall as we break down what's going on with Health Care Reform. Featuring Dr. Janet Taylor (Today Show, Star Jones Live) and Steve Leser (Editor OpEd News, Liberal Political Pundit, FOX).

The availability, the expense and the inadequacies of health care in America are a national disgrace. We worked hard to elect an Administration that is responsive to the needs of everyday Americans. The next stage requires that we continue our call that health care in America is regarded as a human right. We are making the statement that national health care is a national imperative and we feel that there is no more appropriate place to make our stand than in Harlem.Join us. Bring your family. Bring your friends, neighbors and coworkers. Please forward and distribute the flier below. To make change, we must make our stand. As Barack Obama said himself, change in health care "requires a mobilization of energy of the American people to insist on a Congress and a White House that are actually going to deliver this time." - Chet Whye
