On Wednesday of last week, 2to1: The Coalition to Preserve Choice joined dozens of other groups (almost 1,000 people total!) in Washington, D.C., for a day of action and lobbying. Thank you thank you to our friends at Planned Parenthood of Southern New England for organizing a bus and letting me tag along. After an overnight bus ride, we had the opportunity to meet with Senator Reed's health staffer, Kate Mevis, Representative Jim Langevin and his health staffer Todd Adams, and Representative Patrick Kennedy and his health staffer Rachel Bisi. We will meet with Senator Whitehouse in the future if necessary. It was great to be in DC in the midst of the health care reform debate and be able to make contact with Rhode Island's Senators and Representatives in regards to keeping Stupak-like language out of the Senate bill.
One more thing..check out this video of Bishop Tobin attempting to defend himself and his attack on Patrick Kennedy.
