Faster than a toddler crawling toward an uncovered electrical outlet and more powerful than a teenager’s social networking skills, moms across the country are fanning out to dispel the unfounded rumors, misperceptions and lies about healthcare reform.

The effort, the SuperMom Healthcare Truth Squad, is spearheaded by MomsRising.org. Chicago, Baltimore, and San Francisco are among the first cities to witness this “mom power,” when the cape wearing SuperMom Healthcare Truth Squad arrives today to distribute information about Myths & Truths.

SuperMoms dressed in red capes are distributing powerful truth flyers to passersby to educate them about what healthcare reform will really do and how it will help to ensure the economic security families across the country.

Join this effort online by Truth Tagging a friend with healthcare reform myths & facts today: http://www.momsrising.org/TruthSquadTag

While the SuperMom Healthcare Truth Squad is debuting in Chicago, Baltimore and San Francisco today, across the country over the next several weeks thousands of other MomsRising Truth Squad members will do their part by talking to friends, neighbors and other community members about what healthcare reform will really accomplish; sending emails that explain the real purposes and plans for reform and dispel the myths; and using their school lists, soccer team lists, and Facebook and Twitter accounts to spread the truth.

This summer, MomsRising members across the country are also meeting with over 90 in-district U.S. Senate offices to share their experiences with the healthcare system and convey the message that moms will “not be pacified” until our healthcare system is fixed.

Dozens of in-district meetings with U.S. Senate offices have already happened and you can see pictures here: http://www.momsrising.org/HealthcareSenateMeetingHighlights At these meetings, MomsRising members are sharing their stories: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/1768/images/SenateMeeting_MomsRising%20Book%20Color%20Low.pdf

Why did we start the MomsRising Truth Squad? Well, things were getting so out-of-hand with ridiculous rumors flying, that we at MomsRising decided to add a little levity and, importantly, truth to the situation with moms in capes.

So if you can't wear a cape today, join in the game of Truth Tag with us to help put a little truth into the mix of the national dialogue on Healthcare Reform right now: http://www.momsrising.org/TruthSquadTag Onward!
