Unions nationwide had a health care call in day. I attended a rally at my local office. Everybody filled out the letters and signed them. Then we called our Senators and Congress persons.

5. There is so much that we owe to organized labor in this nation and
this is just one of the ongoing efforts to build a stronger America.

9. What an uplifting report! Keep calling... it isn't a one day thing.
I heard Sen. Ron Wyden today, calling for EVERYONE to be included in a public option who wants it... not just those who don't have insurance now, or are too poor. He is right, and I hope you will urge everyone to call again to support Wyden's proposal!

15. Unions need to be pressing for UI benefits extension
and jobs, which are more important than some bandaid deal with health care.
