Here are the latest news from Eve and I at the Wake Up Congress! campaign. As you all know now from Eve's diary today, the National Association of Free Clinics will be holding a free medical health clinic in the nation's capital on August 4th, 2010.
And now for the news--we have heard from the National Association of Free Clinics have sent out invitations to every Member of Congress to come and attend the free health clinic. Will these Members of Congress show up?
We don't know yet, and it's why we need your help. Please help out by calling these Members of Congress with our call report tool, and let us know if they'll commit to attending.
Also, the National Association of Free Clinics also are looking for volunteers to help out with the event, so please click here to register to help uninsured Americans get access to medical care.
And if you're not close by in the DC/MD/VA area to come out and help with the free health clinic, you can help us hold these Members of Congress accountable by checking to see if they've received the invitations from the National Association of Free Clinics and if they will attend the event. For too long, Congress has ignored problems in its own backyard, but with thousands of uninsured Americans and recently laid off workers (with no access to COBRA subsidies--thanks, Blue Dogs), it'll be hard this time around for Congress to ignore.
That's why your help is crucial. Please call Members of Congress at (202) 224-3121, and report back using this call report form. We are so very thankful for your help, and are appreciative of the great support you've given us in our ongoing push for real health care reform.
Will you also please donate $5, $10, or $20 to help us whip the Senate into restoring COBRA subsidies for unemployed Americans and their families?
