All Democrats concerned about Health Care Reform should contact the President, your members of Congress and the Senate Health committee listed below, and let them know your opinions about the future of America's Health Plan.
Right wing talk radio, using dis- and mis-information, has mobilized it's conservative base to make calls to kill the President's plan and other national programs in order to keep the corporate status quo. This means two of the most profitable industries in America, the Health Insurance and Pharmaceutical companies, will continue to influence the deciders in DC to keep a stranglehold on your health coverage! If you want changes like public options or single payer, call today and be heard.
You can comment to the Senate Committee responsible for Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) and other resources via the following addresses:

Health care policy is one of the most talked-about and contentious 
topics in the news. It seems everybody in politics, media and medicine
has an idea about how to provide quality health care for Americans.
How about you? What is your preferred program for health care delivery?
Be sure to cast your vote in this month's Healthy Choice Politi-Poll, 
then call your US Representative, your Senators and the President
and let your voice be heard!

Thanks to all our dedicated volunteers who worked in the Springtime sunshine cleaning up our adopted stretch of Scholls Ferry Road near Kinton, April 18th. After the two hour road crew duty, most of us went to McMenamins at Murray Crossing to refresh ourselves and discuss the important issues of the day.
