MoveOn members joined Anna Galland outside the courthouse in Baton Rouge yesterday after the hearing on our billboard, which calls out Gov. Jindal for blocking Medicaid for 242,000 Louisianans, to send a clear signal that, whatever the outcome, we’re not backing down.
On Wednesday, March 19, MoveOn members across the country will be ramping up their national Medicaid expansion campaign by urging GOP leaders to stop blocking health care access for millions of Americans and encouraging them to accept federal funding to expand Medicaid with a series of new TV and radio ads.
Last week, Louisiana Lt. Governor Jay Dardenne sent MoveOn.org Civic Action a cease-and-desist letter claiming that the group’s new billboard, which calls on Governor Bobby Jindal to expand Medicaid to 242,000 Louisianans, was tarnishing Louisiana’s award-winning tourism slogan, “Pick Your Passion.”
