Our embedded reporter sends us this:
"Here is something you might want to include in your newsletter. Today while at the Health Fair at the SF Expo Center I met Celina Echazarreta, the Associate State Director of AARP.... she gave me several copies of a brightly colored brochure, which bears both AARP and HEALTHACTION NOW.org on the cover.
"It is entitled 'Don't be scared by myths about health care reform, get the facts.'
"...before she gave me this document I asked if AARP was going to take a position in support of the public option. This question came to mind in part because on Wednesday or Thursday I received a somewhat similar but larger brochure in the mail from AARP which listed three of the same myths but did not mention the public option. Celina said that last week at their national board meeting the board had split on the public option issue and therefore had not yet taken a position. This could be very good. With AARP’s support we could make substantial gains in this fight.
Let us hope."
