Here is a one stop shop for getting a hold of your senators and representatives to tell them that you support the President's plan for health insurance reform. The idea is that you can simply do a little copy and paste, followed by 1 or 2 clicks, and you will have sent out an e-mail message to your three federal level representatives.
So simply use these links to find your reps, and copy and paste the text below into the contact form. Even if your representative is not a Democrat, let them know where you stand - the pressure is on now! And every e-mail counts; I had recently heard a Senator from Virginia saying that he had dozens of letters supporting one position and hundreds supporting the other. The take-away is this; hill staffers are not being inundated with support from constituents. We want Senators to be saying, "I've received thousands of e-mails in support of this plan." Right? Well, get busy!
Dear (Representative/Senator)
I am a life-long resident of (your state), and a voting constituent of yours. I write to express my support for the President's plan on health insurance reform that is currently being considered in the House and in the Senate. I, along with many of my peers, colleagues and friends, feel that a robust federal plan for Americans to be able to purchase is a necessary counterweight to the insurance industry, which has seen medical payouts decrease from $0.95 per every dollar of premiums in 1993 down to $0.80 per every dollar of premiums today. This impudent greed from health insurance executives, which we have seen scar Wall St. in a tumultuous upheaval, is an untenable blight on the face of our nation. Something must be done. Soon. Before recess. Please stand for (YourState-ians), as we have stood for you to represent us.
Very Sincerely,
(Your Name)
