Got a Motorcycle? Mainers Ride for Reform

The debate for health care reform is well underway in the halls of Congress – but it’s also raging outside the Beltway.

Last Saturday Maine motorcyclists rode from Bath to Camden to show their support for reform and raise funds for non-profit community medical clinics in Maine. Before the group of bikers shoved off, they joined Organizing for America’s state director Julian Fedlerle, Will Towers (a corrections officer and the President of AFSCME Local 2968), and Greg Douglas (a carpenter from Harpswell who was recently featured in an AP story about health care) at a press conference where they called on Senators Collins and Snowe to support a plan that lowers costs, guarantees choice – including a public option, and ensures all Americans have access to quality, affordable care.
