Retirees Sign Up for Charter Buses to Statewide Rally

(Texas Alliance for Retired Americans)

Retiree activists are registering to ride charter buses to the statewide health care reform rally at the Capitol in Austin 1-3 PM on Saturday, November 14!

As this is written, at least three buses are chartered from North Texas:

1. Free seats available through Tarrant County AFL-CIO. Leaves 8:30 AM Saturday from Operating Engineers Local 178 / TCCLC Hdqtrs in North Richland Hills (Glenview & Rufe Snow) in Ft Worth. Contact them at tcclc@swbell.net

2. Dallas AFL-CIO bus is full, but it doesn't hurt to register for a free seat. It leaves 8 AM from UAW 848 hall, 2218 E Main in Grand Prairie. Contact them at rmunoz@uaw848.org

3. Jobs with Justice/MoveOn bus costs $22/seat, but some free seats will be available. Leaves 8:30 AM from 100 W Jefferson (at Beckley) in the Oak Cliff section of Dallas. Contact them to register at labordallas@sbcglobal.net. All info is at www.labordallas.org

The Texas Alliance for Retired Americans is co-sponsoring the rally along with the Texas AFL-CIO and a growing number of progressive organizations. It will last from 1 to 3 PM at the Capitol building.

Health care reform bills are moving close to a final vote. What could be more important to Texas retirees than securing our health care benefits?
