Greetings,

 Tell Congress Today: We Need Health Care Reform Now!

 

Working people have been fighting to fix our healthcare system and building momentum for health reform THIS YEAR.

 

Opponents of health care reform—including the insurance industry—are spending $1.4 million a day to defeat reform.

 

Opponents are calling Congress in very large numbers trying to shut down reform efforts.

 

We must get health reform bills through both the House and Senate as early as possible, and Congress must feel increased pressure this week.  Current drafts of health care bills will make quality health care more affordable for everyone, and give you choices between private insurance and public plans.  To understand what’s in the bills, see WHAT’s AT STAKE

 

Beginning Tuesday, July 28, we need YOU to make consistent, clear calls to your US Representative and Senators. Call toll free 800-828-0498. We need you to call even if you’ve called before or think you know their position.  Tell them.

1.      Your name, address and zip code

2.      Congress must fix health care THIS YEAR.  We need lower costs, more choices, and coverage you can count on.

3.      (Briefly) why health care reform is critical for you and your community.

 

In addition, it’s time to make this personal.  Send a fax or personalized email to your Senators and your Representative with the information above.
