DALLAS (AP) - Health care activists in Texas planned rallies in Dallas, San Antonio and Austin as the national health care debate heats up in Congress.
Activists had rallies scheduled Thursday outside the offices of both U.S. senators from Texas, Kay Bailey Hutchison and John Cornyn.
Representatives of Moveon.org said they would present petitions to the lawmakers asking them to support President Barack Obama's health care plan.
The activists want what they call a strong public health insurance option.
