Cantwell: The Meetings

Posted by Eli Sanders on Mon, Jun 29, 2009 at 5:01 PM

Tomorrow brings to Seattle two meetings involving Sen. Maria Cantwell and her feelings about the public option for health care reform.

There's an "Urgent Joint Meeting" of Democrats from the 11th, 34th, and 37th legislative districts being held tomorrow evening and not featuring the junior Senator from Washington State:

The major concern is Senator Maria Cantwell's apparent lack of commitment to health care options that are enjoying overwhelmingly popular support across the nation and in her state of Washington. Senator Cantwell was invited to attend, but is unavailable...

The joint LD meeting is open to the public. It will take place at Carpenter's Hall, 231 Burnett Avenue N. in Renton at 7pm, Tuesday, June 30th.

And then there's an event tomorrow afternoon at the University of Washington Medical Center featuring Cantwell and open to the public—provided the public RSVPs:

U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell
Convenes an Expert Panel in Seattle
To Discuss National Health Care Reform

Tuesday — June 30th 2009
2:15 pm - 3:45 pm

UW Medicine — South Lake Union Campus
Orin Smith Auditorium
815 Mercer Street
Seattle, WA 98109

I'll be at that one, listening for any movement from the Senator on the public option. If you'd like to go and try to make your opinion heard, the RSVP details are in the jump.

If you would like to attend, please RSVP by email with your full name to healthcare@cantwell.senate.gov or call (206) 220-6400

Please allow yourself time to sign in and register.

Street Parking is available in the neighborhood. There is also a paid parking garage off Republican Street, between 8th ave & 9th Ave.

Hi, I'm Maria Cantwell.

I support our Firefighters. See, here's me wearing a Firefighters hat.

I support our Fisherment. See, here's me in a slicker outside Pike Place. Yeah, I know they don't actually catch the fish, but it all fits the meme. Right?

I support Health Care. See, here's me in a hospital. Looking concerned.

See, you're so stupid, that's all it takes to convince you.

I'm Maria Cantwell...and I approve this chicanery.
