Dear Activist,

Nov. 5 is the Kickoff to a National Week of Action on Health Care.

Retirees need to call Congress, because health care can't wait.

Health care reform is the No. 1 priority in Congress right now for the first time in years.  Insurance companies are spending millions to derail reform, and special interests are trying to pay for changes by raising your costs through a new tax on benefits.

CALL CONGRESS ON THURSDAY NOVEMBER 5 AT:
1-877-3AFLCIO
(1-877-323-5246)

Tell your U.S. Representative, and your two Senators, that health care reform MUST:

• Include a public health insurance option to break the stranglehold of insurance companies and bring down costs.
• NOT tax our health plans.
• Guarantee that employers pay their fair share.

Thank you!
