Dear American Friends,
Please use this website to find out who your representative is:
https://writerep.house.gov/writerep/welcome.shtml Then please call your representative and leave a message about health care reform.
I called my very far left representative today (Barbara Lee) but I know she's already going to vote how I want. :) But seriously guys! This is HUGE! We have a change to actually get COVERAGE!
For your sake, CALL! Tell your personal story! Give your representative your story and something to represent.
When I called I said something like: "Hi Ms. Lee, I have never called my representative before, but I really want you to know you have my support for the health care bill. I am 22 years old and graduated from college two years ago. With the economy I have not been able to find a job that will give me health insurance coverage -- even though I have literally applied to 400. I am working as a nanny, but this doesn't give me coverage. I am healthy. I exercise 5 days a week and enjoy kickboxing. I eat healthy too. I am doing everything "right" to stay healthy but it concerns me ALOT that I cannot go to any doctor if I get sick. I don't know what I'll do if I have something serious like a broken bone. Please PASS the health care reform. Thank you so much."
Public option. Public option. Public option.
xoxoxo,
Maryanne
