Gray Panthers Oppose Nancy Pelosi on Health Care Bill
By Joan Wile
"We need to be fighting for health care reform,NOT health insurance reform," Ms. Murany firmly declared.
The Gray Panthers, an intergenerational, multi-issue national social action organization formed in 1970 by the legendary firebrand, Maggie Kuhn, has been reinvigorated in recent years by a new Board of Directors and its dedication to three main causes -- the environment, health care, and peace. 2010 is their 40th Anniversary year, and to commemorate it, they designated 40 actions to occur throughout the year. Two have already been held on April 17, 2010 -- a 40th Anniversary gala in Washington DC and a demonstration in front of the White House demanding environmental protection.
And, now, once again, with their public confrontation with the House Speaker announcing their opposition to the health care plan, the feisty Gray Panthers are in the vanguard fighting for a just cause where others fear to tread.
