Why call your congressman about health care?

* Because 50 million people in America don't have health insurance

* Because those of us with insurance have seem our premiums rise three times faster than wages

* Because health care costs are crushing small business

* Because our current system of bureaucracy and rationing care needs to change

* Because we need a strong public health insurance option to lower costs and to keep insurance companies honest

* Because thousands of people wait in long lines in parking lots for health care and that's not right

* Because the House bill being proposed would save the average family up tp $2,200 per year

* Because if Congress takes three weeks off, 143,250 people will lose their health insurance coverage , 53,507 people will file for bankruptcy because they can't pay their medical bills, and 1,265 people will die because they lack coverage

* Because this is the change we voted for, and we meant it - inaction is not an option.

than talking to my walls. and, alas, my two senators, although having "d's" after their names, have shown themselves to be not much better

I have a Progessive rep (George Miller, D-CA) What can someone like me whose rep is already on board do to help out?

because the anti-health-care-reform folks are really active right now. Don't think calling once is enough.

My congress critter is Virginia Foxx! Nuff said.

unfortunately, the other two (Hutchison, and Cornyn)are in the "red" category, but I will be emailing them EVERYDAY, nevertheless.
