[Platform] Urgent Fwd: [adcom] Fwd: will your organization sponsor June 19 action in Boston to protest waste by private health insurance industry?

[Merelice]

John,
If the health specialists on the Platform Committee could give their
blessing, Adcom would follow their guidance and become a sponsor.

Grace,
Please remember that attachments don't go through on the party lists.
Seeing the flyer would be some help -- and more info would be better.
Does the flyer provide any more details about the purpose of the
action, other than where and when it takes place (which would also be
helpful to know)?

Also, what does Rand mean by a "local" sponsor? Should this go to the
Boston chapter?

Thanks,
Merelice
