I know lots of folks here get emails from the johnkerry.com site, as I do. I love getting them because to me they are a sign that the Democrats are trying to keep up grassroots activism beyond the election.
Here's one I just got today. John Kerry wants you to call this number and tell America what you think.
I posted most of the email below the fold, but here's the important paragraph: "Call our "Give Voice to Your Values" project at 1-866-876-4490. At this toll-free number, you can record a message describing, in your own words, why it is so critical for America to Put Kids First."
Here's what's next:
This week, I'm calling on the johnkerry.com community to "Give Voice to Our Values" by providing vocal support for our effort to provide every child in America with health care coverage. I need you to be a part of this effort.
Make Your Personal Call Right Now.
Call our "Give Voice to Your Values" project at 1-866-876-4490. At this toll-free number, you can record a message describing, in your own words, why it is so critical for America to Put Kids First.
If you have a personal story about a child living without health insurance, I hope you'll see it in your heart to share it. But, whatever your individual circumstance, it is essential that Americans from all walks of life give vocal support to our Put Kids First initiative.
All through the week, we'll be compiling recorded messages from across America. We'll put them on johnkerry.com, share them with local and national media outlets, and I will be delivering a copy of selected messages from across the nation to my colleagues in the Senate.
If we want to give full _expression to the strong grassroots support for putting Kids First, we've got to create new tools for making our voices heard. That's exactly why we are today launching our "Give Voice to Our Values" advocacy line.
I urge you to use it. America's children are counting on us.
Sincerely,
John Kerry
P.S. We need to make voices all across America heard. Please call right now - and take a moment to forward this message to a friend.
