A message from Mitch Stewart, Director of Organizing for America, on the recent events at health care town halls.

Edited to add these links:

FOR ONE MONTH, THE FIGHT FOR HEALTH INSURANCE REFORM LEAVES THE BACKROOMS OF WASHINGTON, D.C., and returns to communities across America. Throughout August, members of Congress are back home, where the hands they shake and the voices they hear will not belong to lobbyists, but to people like you.

August is a crucial time to show Congress where the people stand. That's why Organizing for America is putting together thousands of events this month where you can reach out to neighbors, show your support, and make certain your members of Congress know that you're counting on them to act.

Can you commit to attend at least one event in your community
this month?

dAMN DAMN DAMN - Somebody (TWO somebodies) undo me!

oh noooooooooooooooooooooooes!!!!!!!!!

My Congress person should watch it. He's a Democrat but he said he is voting against the health care bill. I called his office and left a message, but I'm sure it will be ignored.

to help make this a conversation and not a bullying session.

That video made me feel a lot better. I hope everyone sees it and discussions about real health care reform can go forward peacefully.

It made me feel a lot better too, as did this one: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x349961

Kind of reminds me of the campaign last year.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

I'm waging war at facebook

BTW any idea why this isn't on the Greatest Page?

:shrug: that's the best answer I can come up with

This one has 24 and isn't on there either: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x8574134

Is it a glitch in the software or something?

:shrug:

Everyone has to call their congress-critter, call all their offices! Get everyone you know who gives a shit to call them too! If there is one of these town hall events go and take friends. Show up for our side! We all too often fall short on this count and it's time, right now.

Tip of the hat from this web hand :toast:

And more importantly, thank you for fighting back and not trying to ignore this serious issue of disruption and hijacking of the democratic process which which often seemed to be the default when dealing with reTHUGs however if they are not confronted and exposed for what they really are things are gonna get out of control in a hurry.

America's idiocracy has gone into overdrive this month. It's pissed me off and I know it has a lot of you as well.

and now the white house wants us to rally?

which is it?

wingnut trolls? Seems to me like their corporate masters have woken up to how good we were during the election at getting our points across online and they're sending in their stormtroopers all over the place.

besides here I spend time at facebook ..Feel like a lone wolf
at times on the polls threads there.
