Hello Fellow AMSA Members,

President Obama will be rallying support for health care reform at the Target Center this Saturday afternoon (doors at 9:30am, speech at 12:30pm).  Ben Ho (MS4) and Ann Vogt (MS3), former AMSA officers, will be organizing a rally of medical students and friends, and it would be incredible if we could get a big group of medical students to show support for Obama and his stance on Health Care for All! Please see the following email from Ben for more information on where and how to meet up with him and the other students:

"This is OUR issue and we need to come out in a much larger force!

Please... PLEASE join us for this rally.  This concerns all of us, and represents our ideals.  Months of hard work has gone into reform, and we have the opportunity this weekend to chip in!

Ann Vogt (co-pres '07-'08) and I will be meeting at a time and place TBD to line up and to make signs.  We'll be wearing white coats.  As soon as the signs are done, we'll be making noise.  I have a referee whistle and two cow bells.  Anyone have a megaphone?  Gotta have a megaphone.  Please email me directly at [log in to unmask] or call 240.676.1081 if you want to meet up.Email or call me!  Health Care For All!"


Good luck to everyone involved!  This should be really fun!
