Purple Bus 2009 Tour Talks Healthcare with Thousands

(Atlanta GA) The Purple Bus Tour clocked more than 13,500 miles during its blitz from east coast to west coast and back to Washington, DC. We listened to stories from thousands of average working Americans who are doing without the healthcare they need, and we delivered their stories to Congress in Washington, DC.

Quote of the Week: “Every day I meet those who are struggling to get the healthcare they need.

It is time for our elected representatives to put aside special interests and reshape American healthcare to serve the needs of the people.” Kathie McClure, Founder, VoteHealthcare.org
