PLEDGE To Make 1,000,000 Calls To Congress To FIX The Bill And Pass It!

[slinkerwink]

Eve Gittelson, a prominent health care activist, and I would like to announce exciting news--we're working with Darcy Burner from the Progressive Congress Action Fund, a 501(c)4 non-profit organization, on the FixItAndPassIt! Project. Here's what our project is about:

Healthcare Reform: Fix It and Pass It! is a project of the Progressive Congress Action Fund, a 501(c)(4) non-profit organization dedicated to connecting the progressive movement, ideas, and Congress.

It isn't enough what we're doing----we can't stop fighting for Americans even once President Obama signs this bill--and with your hard work, we will have a bill--this will get done. But the road is long and perilous towards this noble goal of real health care reform. It just doesn't stop at the Rose Garden signing. That will be day one. We'll continue to advocate for better health reform--which, at the end of the day, is what unifies all of us.

We're fighting to help pass comprehensive health reform! We've got to get this done. Will you please JOIN US and DONATE $10 or $20 for the BIG PUSH TO GET HEALTH REFORM OVER THE FINISH LINE?

CLICK TO PLEDGE TO MAKE PHONE CALLS TO CONGRESS ON FEBRUARY 24th AND 25TH FOR COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH REFORM!

Democracy For America joined the 1,000,000 Calls Campaign right away. We hope next week, that there will be an even bigger coalition of groups all pushing in one direction: pass comprehensive healthcare reform, and get a bill to President Obama--and do it NOW! When this glorious day happens, it will be just the first small step on the road to making healthcare a right for all Americans. We need all hands on board to cross the finish line.

It's high time to fix the bill via reconciliation and pass it!

The news about our 1,000,000 calls to Congress to tell them to finish the job on health care reform is spreading, and will you also pledge to make phone calls as well on February 24th and February 25th?

Thank you for joining FixItAndPassIt.org!

1. We'll be calling Congress on February 24th and February 25th

to tell them to pass the reconciliation fix and to pass the Senate bill! One CANNOT happen without the other. The reality is that the votes just aren't there for the Senate bill without a reconciliation fix.

2. Here's what we're aiming for

The public option
The Medicare buy-in
Excising the excise tax
Increasing subsidies
National exchange
Getting rid of the Nebraska Kickback Cornhusker Deal

You are free to aim high and call for these items on February 24th and 25th! We're working with Democracy For America on this and are reaching out to other organizations.
