HEALTH  CARE  RALLY

"HEALTH  RALLY ~ AFTER ACTION REPORT "



Michael J. Martin and "Top" Holland

If you've attended any of Michael J's concerts you know that as he winds them down,
he calls for the drawing of The Line..

This time Doc Smith came forward and "drew the line"...
As Michael J. sang the following words , people crossed over the line
coming together in a circle

Let's Draw the Line

Let's draw the line again
Come together in the circle and remind ourselves when
we made promises to ourselves to keep.

Let's draw the line again

And remember what we said about our lives back then
we pledged alliegence to a dream we believed

Let's draw the line again

All join in together, this time take this stand
for all the reasons we always believed where right

Draw the Line...............
