Concerned citizens are giving members of Congress the blues over healthcare reform at town hall meetings.
The conversation will be civil at the CBC Institute’s workshop on healthcare reform, moderated by CBC Chairwoman Barbara Lee, and Reps. Donna Christensen and Donald Payne.
The panelists will include Dr. Willarda Edwards, president of the National Medical Association, and Dr. Cora Christian, a member of the AARP board of directors.
I’m a policy wonk so spending Saturday morning in a meeting room at a casino is my idea of a good time.
But the good times will roll Saturday night at the 7th Annual Memphis Tri-State Blues Festival. The performers will include Shirley Brown, Floyd Taylor, son of the late, great Johnnie Taylor, Ms. Jody Floyd and the inimitable Bobby Rush.
