Fwd: [DC for Obama] It's Time Take Action on Health Care

[Jeremy Koulish]

This message is from the Co-Chair of the DC for Obama Advocacy Team, who is also an acquaintance of mine. DC for Democracy is also involved with these efforts. I will be at this phonebank on Thursday, and I would hope you all can participate in the battle for meaningful health reform during this "all hands on deck" moment.

Momentum is building. Strong health care legislation with a public plan option passed two House committees and the Senate's health committee. And polling continues to show wide support for the main provisions in those bills.

Yet the drumbeat for inaction continues to pound, with conservatives vowing to "break Obama," and the media headlining every hiccup and ignoring every success. And opponents are swamping Congress with calls and faxes against President Obama's reforms.

There is only one way to break the Washington culture of inertia and pass legislation this year. SPEAK UP. Even Senators and Congresspeople who want to be with us, are begging to hear from constituents. And the opponents of change can't be allowed to stand in the way of health reform.

We need to fight back, that is why we are hosting phonebanks every Tuesday through Thursday starting next week.

Organizing for America, DC for Obama, DC for Democracy and other local organizations want to reach out to voters in key states to find out where they stand on health care reform and enlist their active support!

Help us make the change we all fought so hard for in 2008 a reality in 2009!
