Greetings,

IBEW Local 21 Members and Retirees are Taking Action as the AFL-CIO Kicks Off Week of Action In Support of Health Care Reform

November 5, 2009 - The unions of the AFL-CIO are mobilizing a 1-million-member health care mobilization team working with a broad alliance of grassroots organizations to win progressive reform and give millions more union members the information and tools to become active players and health care voters.

Tell Congress: We Want Real Health Care Reform Now!

The insurance companies and their corporate front groups are fighting desperately to stop reform, but we're not going to let them. We need health insurance reform so no one ever is denied coverage because of a "pre-existing condition." We need health insurance reform so no one is dropped by their insurance company simply because they are too expensive.

Tell Congress now is the time for health care reform and remind them health care reform must include:

• A strong public health insurance option must be available to lower costs and make sure everybody has a health care option.
• All employers should be required either to provide health care for their employees or pay into a system to make sure everyone is covered.
• No new costs or taxes that would hurt working families.
