On March 10th, 2009, we will host a deluge of activity in support of HR 676.
We plan to flood phone and fax machines in Congress demanding support of HR 676. We ask that you join with thousands of others to call Congress and also fax your health insurance bill or letter of denial to Congress. Click here to take action.
We also urge you to contact the new Secretary-designate, Kathleen Sebelius; click here.
Get out in the street! The American Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) is hosting a conference in Washington, D.C. AIHP is the trade group that develops the policies which keep profit first in our health care system while leaving over a third of the population uninsured or with completely inadequate coverage. Join with HR 676 advocates for a demonstration outside of the conference:
“Health Insurance NO! Health Care YES!”
11 a.m. March 10th
Ritz Carlton Hotel , Washington, D.C.

If you don’t live near Washington D.C., then walk your neighborhood this month for HR 676. Order your materials here (at our cost).

Progressive Democrats of America is a grassroots PAC that works both inside the Democratic Party and outside in movements for peace and justice. Our goal in 2009: Work with and increase the progressive majority in Congress as we build on our 2008 electoral successes. PDA’s advisory board includes seven members of Congress and activist leaders such as Tom Hayden, Medea Benjamin, Thom Hartmann, Jim Hightower, and Rev. Lennox Yearwood.
