TAKE ACTION THURSDAY
The Leadership Conference for Guaranteed Healthcare is encouraging everyone to participate in the next National Call-in Day for HR 676. Mark your calendars…
February 12, 2009: Call Congress, and the President
Congressional switchboard: 202-225-3121 (ask for your representative’s office)
If your member is a current co-sponsor (Rep. Lynn Woolsey), thank your rep. and ask him or her to stand firm for HR 676 and actively seek additional co-sponsors.
If your member was a co-sponsor in the last Congress, ask him or her to sign on immediately as a co-sponsor in this Congress.
If your member has yet to co-sponsor HR 676 (Rep. Mike Thompson), ask him or her to please become a co-sponsor, select one or two talking points here.
Lincoln said:
“The legitimate object of government is to do for a community of people whatever they need to have done, but cannot do at all, or cannot do so well, for themselves, in their separate and individual capacities.”
In celebration of Abraham Lincoln’s birthday, remind your member of Congress to honor his words as we look to reform his precious nation’s healthcare system. Urge your member to accept testimony from panelists to explore the serious flaws in the Massachusetts health plan and examine why it cannot serve as a national model for providing universal and comprehensive care, on Wednesday, February 25, 2009, 2:00-4:00pm, 2226 Rayburn House Office Building.
Don’t forget to call the White House. Dial (202-456-1414) or fax (202-456-2461) to make sure our current President recalls how very troubled another young lawyer from Illinois was as he viewed the future of the nation under the control of the monied and corporate interests just like those swirling in the for-profit health insurance industry.
