Join UAPA at our next general membership meeting on Thursday, May 8
Columbus Dispatch columnist Joe Blundo recently asked, Why does it take Oprah's Big Give to help the sick in America? That's a good question! Rising co-pays, decreased benefits and denied claims are symptomatic of an unhealthy healthcare system. Join UAPA at our next general membership meeting as we explore the healthcare crisis that's plaguing this country and how all of the presidential candidates think it can be repaired.
Our special guest speaker will provide the answers on the state of health care in our country. Activist Dr. Alice Faryna will be speaking on "What's the Prognosis for Healthcare? An analysis of the presidential candidates' health care plans."
The meeting will be held at 7:00 p.m. at the Upper Arlington High School, 1650 Ridgeview Road. Please join us for what is sure to be a beneficial and timely presentation!
Please RSVP here!
Please note the change from our usual Sunday schedule.

You can never get enough of Mark and Mary Baldwin's famous Baldwin Barbeque, so come on down and join UA progressives for a lively evening filled with speculation about:
- whom the Democratic nominee will be
- how many letters to the editor our presence at the Fourth of July parade will generate, and
- the number of stolen UA yard signs that will litter local landfills
Also, meet local candidates who need our help as we claim victory this November from the Statehouse to the White House!
