Subject: Today: West Helena calling for reform
| JAMES -- Tomorrow, we can extend coverage to millions. We can end insurance-company abuses forever. We can finally give Americans control over their own health care. But we can't take anything for granted. The vote in the House could still go either way. It's up to every American who believes in reform to call our representatives and speak up -- right now. So, if you haven't yet, please pick up the phone and call Rep. Berry's office at (202) 225-4076. But don't stop there. Make it your mission today to get 5 friends or neighbors to call, too. Forward this email widely. Save the Congressional switchboard number -- (202) 224-3121 -- in your cell phone, and then hand your phone to a friend, a co-worker, a family member. Call the folks you know who share our vision for change, and let them know that this is their chance -- our chance -- to not just witness history, but to make it. Thanks for being there for every step of this final march for reform. And thanks for making it possible. Mitch ---------------Original Message--------------- From: David Plouffe Subject: Urgent: Need 3 calls from West Helena Friend -- This is it: After months of hard work, the final vote on health reform in the House of Representatives is expected Sunday. It's a chance to make history and finally give Americans control over their own health care -- but it's shaping up to be incredibly close, and every member of Congress will play a critical role. So we're aiming for 3 calls to Rep. Berry from West Helena before offices close this evening. Whether you've called your representative before or haven't yet spoken out on health reform, it's now time to raise your voice. Your representative, Rep. Marion Berry, has stood with the President and fought for reform since last year. But with special interests attacking anyone who pushes for change, it's important for real voters in your district to call and say "thank you for fighting for reform." As a small business owner, your voice has particular weight with your representative -- so all those who share our commitment to reform are depending on you to speak up. According to our records, you live in Arkansas's 1st congressional district. Please call Rep. Berry's office at (202) 225-4076 right now -- and then click here to let us know so we can track our progress.  (Not your representative? Click here to look yours up). After a century of false starts and a year of grueling negotiations, we may be just hours away from real health insurance reform in America. But if we fail, our next chance may not come for a generation. You make the call. Folks across the country will be calling, so if you get a busy signal, please try again. http://my.barackobama.com/FinalMarchCalls Let's win this thing, David Plouffe |
