We’ve been working hard with House members and staff for several weeks to bring this meeting to fruition, and now it is finally happening. Your financial support keeps us working to move our issues forward. Thank you for your sustaining financial support.
As the momentum builds for healthcare reform, so does the momentum for more war spending. Send an email to your senators and representative asking for a NO vote on the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009, which would fund the Iraq and Afghanistan/Pakistan wars to the tune of billions of dollars.

Healthcare NOT Warfare!
