Call Congress This Week!

This week Congress is back in session and health insurance reform is on the top of the agenda. As members’ work resumes in Washington, several national groups, including Families U.S.A., AARP, Consumers Union, American Cancer Society’s Action Network, and Service Employees International Union (SEIU) are coming together to promote two call-in days on Wednesday and Thursday of this week. We need to send Congress the pro-health reform message loud and clear!

It is especially important that we generate an overwhelming number of calls to Congress this week to pre-empt the large-scale, anti-health reform rally and lobbying being planned to take place in Washington, D.C. this weekend.
