The bill has to pass. It must pass. What's at stake? Over 150,000 lives. Millions of uninsured. Small businesses whose premiums are skyrocketing. Our long term economic health. Democratic leadership and the chance to do more. Morally, economically and pragmatically, we must pass this bill. We will not get a second chance for decades. We won't.

The bill has 85% of what we need. There's 900 billion dollars of health care in it that will help millions of Americans. Please don't destroy this opportunity. At the risk of pissing off many here, I would urge that you get on board - and please call your Senators and Representative and ask them to support its passage. Call now.

For those of you interested in Organizing for America (OFA) activities, I am posting a summary of a call I was on tonight.

Kevin Puleo, the Southwest’s Regional Director for OFA (CO, NM, OK, KS, TX, LA, AR) led a conference call tonight to discuss recent weekend activity. On the call were OFA volunteers, as well as team leaders and staff from the recent Campaign for Change. Kevin said that over 100,000 pledges were collected in the Pledge Project Canvass last weekend, not including pledges made online, or those gathered since Sunday.

The call agenda:

two volunteers spoke about their respective Pledge Project Canvass experiences last weekend.

what were the issues – areas needing improvement – with the canvass

what worked well

priorities for next 7 days – two weeks.

Here are my notes:
