Greensboro, NC people: Health Care Forum TONIGHT

Citizens, time to show up.

Especially
a) if you are sick of uninformed, stupid, and hate-filled rhetoric
and b) if you would like us to we have genuine health-care-delivery and -insurance reform and keep the public option* on the table.
* or some proven workable alternative, see Krugman or better yet, this (which also quotes Krugman but is more factual and is a nice clear summary of the options)
******************
Oh, and c) if you have a body and are a U.S. citizen or resident.
