Great news from nyceve--Democracy For America is onboard with our calling effort to Congress on February 24th and February 25th!
Update: Charles Chamberlain, the political director of Democracy For America just emailed me to say DFA is on board and will ask its entire membership to participate on the 24th and 25th. This is huge, it means other progressive organizations will hopefully follow the lead of DFA and participate in this grassroots show of force. Thank you, thank you, DFA!
We've also set up a Facebook group for people to join in our massive call-in effort on February 24th and 25th. It's about damn time these Democrats get a spine and work to fix the Senate bill and then pass it!
HERE'S A LINK TO THE 2/24 AND 2/25 1,000,000 CALLS FOR HEALTHCARE FACEBOOK PAGE, PLEASE SEND IT TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!
We will be calling Speaker Pelosi: Tell Speaker Pelosi to 1) fix the Senate bill in the House, and 2) then pass the Senate bill after the Senate passes the reconciliation fix from the House.
The ask for Harry Reid will be: Allow reconciliation to proceed immediately.

We now have over 120 members in the Facebook group, and each of them are ready to burn the lines up to Congress on February 24th and 25th! Will you please join our effort, and stand up for the millions of Americans that need real health care reform?
Here's nyceve's urgent plea to us:
Are you ready?
Can we count on you?
Please send this out on Twitter.
Please post it on your Facebook page.
Will you stand up and make your voice heard?
Will you make just a few more calls?
Will you ask your friend, family and neighbors to help?
Can you turn this into one of the largest citizen mobilizations in the history of our country?
It's high time for Congress to do this---the Democrats must no longer run for the hills, as President Obama has said. Remember this video by nyceve from the event in Hartford, Connecticut?
Please CALL for people like her on February 24th and 25th! They're not being heard in Congress, and with every call we make, we need to make Congress hear their cries for real health care reform. So, be ready to pick up that cell phone and make calls!
UPDATE: We're now over 200 members in the Facebook group! Can we hit 300 by the end of today?
Woot! We just passed 400, and we're on our way to 500! Let's keep this going :-)
UPDATE #2: We just hit 500 members! Can we make it to 600?
Yes, we made it to 600 and beyond :-) Let's keep up on this push tomorrow!
UPDATE #3: Holy moly---700 members and more coming in! Thank you so much, and we'll keep on aiming for more people to join us in phonebanking on the 24th and the 25th!
UPDATE #4: We're at 800 members and more still are coming in---wow, this is just fantastic. Together, we CAN do it!
UPDATE #5: We're at 900 members. We might very well hit 1,000 tomorrow!
