Every aspect of our social world is the result of choices that could have gone one way or another. Now is one of those key moments in our lives when the choices we make have a dramatic effect on our lives, those of our children and their children.
For the first time in history, health care reform plans have been voted out of committee in Congress. With thousands of people losing their health insurance every day, and costs projected to rise much faster than our wages--until health care spending crowds out all other items in the Federal budget--we cannot afford to let the best chance in our lives for health care reform slip away. Conservative (blue dog) Democrats are threatening to torpedo health care reform and we can't let that happen. That's why NYC for Change and various other groups are organizing phone banking events this week asking Obama supporters in the states of blue dog Democrats to call their senators and urge them to support President Obama's health care reform plan with a strong public option.
PLEASE VOLUNTEER for one or more of the phone banking events on the list below.
