Congresswoman Chellie Pingree in Augusta Tomorrow

Congresswoman Chellie Pingree will in Augusta tomorrow. Her first stop is at Shaw's on Western Avenue from 10:30 am until noon. She will then be at Longfellow's Greenhouses in Manchester from 1 pm to 2:30 pm. If there are 771 workers shopping at Shaw's or at Longfellow's tomorrow, stop and talk to her about the work you do. Long-term care is being overlooked in the current health care reform. Tell Chellie that it needs to be included in any health care reform that Congress is working on. With the Direct Care Alliance in Washington, DC a couple of weeks ago, I got to talk to Chellie about this. Please see previous post on it. I urge anyone in the Augusta area tomorrow, shopping at either location, to plan your shopping around the times she'll be at either store. Talk to Chellie. She is very personable and will listen to what you have to say. Take the chance. This is a lot easier than trying to talk to her while she's in DC! Trust me on that one!
