Health Care Reform - Let Your Voice Be Heard

Addendum: Another way to stay in touch with your Congressmen is as a Minuteman Lobbyest. Check out this site for a set for quick links to your reps and brief suggestions on communicating with public officials.

From AAPS

STOP REP. PELOSI FROM GETTING TO 216!

CLICK HERE TO READ THIS ALERT ONLINE AND COMMENT

Nancy Pelosi needs 216 "Yes" votes to pass the Senate's healthcare reform bill in the House. As long as the House Republicans stand united, 38 Democrat "No" votes will be needed to defeat the bill. President Obama has asked the House to vote by Thursday, March 18th.

Targeted House Members:

1) According to Representative Tom Price, M.D., the Democrats that need to be targeted are the 37 Democrats who voted "No" last year and 31 others who voted "Yes" but are still considered undecided or are particularly vulnerable this time around. Dr. Price recommends visiting http://www.nrcc.org/CodeRed/targets/ for a list of these targeted members including links to obtain their contact information.
Tell them to "VOTE NO."
(39 Democrats voted "No" last year, however Rep. Massa has resigned and Rep. Griffith changed parties and is now a Republican.)

2) The Hill has published a list (CLICK HERE TO VIEW) of 24 Democrats who are a "Firm No, Leaning No, or Likely No" and 80 who are "Undecided." Please thank the "No" votes for making the right decision and tell the undecideds to do the right thing and "vote NO."

Those on The Hill list marked with an "*"
voted for the Stupak anti-abortion amendment last November. They need to be reminded that "the Senate bill cannot be fixed if the House votes for it." The Capitol Switchboard is: (202) 224-3121. Call and tell the operator which office you would like to be connected to. More contact information can be found at http://www.contactingthecongress.org/ andhttp://www.house.gov/house/MemberWWW_by_State.shtml .
