Heath Care Forum

Finally, there will be a health care forum taking place here in Central Illinois! The Peoria branch of the NAACP is hosting 880 Health Care Initiative, town hall meeting on health care. The forum will take place on Monday, October 5, 2009 at 6:30 pm at New Morning Star Missionary Baptist Church, 413 W. John Gwynne, Jr. Avenue.

• 46 million Americans are without health care.
• 8 million children are without health care.
• 880,000 African Americans would be alive today if health care reform had been enacted in the past decade.

Come hear the facts about health care!!! Share your concerns and ideas. All of our state and federal representatives have been invited to attend. Please take the time to call them and remind them that they need to be at this forum to answer questions from their constituents. Please see their office numbers listed below.
