If you have contacted a representative in Congress, other than the ones from your area, you soon learned that they only want to hear from their constituents. They want you to give them your address and telephone number, so I lie. I went to these sites to make up fake addresses/phone numbers. I hope this helps:

I agree with Howard Dean. If it is so critical to pass a bill (and for purely political reasons it IS) then the Congress needs to pass one that is palatable.

Maybe the Democratic Senators have tunnel vision, as Dean says, and realize the imperative of a “win.” And if there is Progressive and Moderate opposition to it, then they simply have to do a little better. Right now, the only people standing in our way of a bill we can tolerate are the Conservadems. And the only people standing in the way of the Conservadems are the Progressives.

We MUST contact them and insist they take that stand!

Thanks!

Thank you for your hard work! Well done! 😀

Excellent List, I know what my family is doing over winter break!
Who needs vacation?
As for what to put in the letters
I tell my story,
and my husbands parents story,
and how we have been canceled for ridiculous reasons I could go on and on.
My letter is kinda long
but I have done the short form also.

Thank You for putting together this list Chernynkaya. I emailed Harry Reid and my two senators, Boxer and Feinstein today. I’ll send a short note to the others as well.

ChoiceLady, Cher, Nellie

I took all of your examples and just put it all together in a short note. Thanks for your help and examples. I would have gone on and on without them.

Reid takes email from anyone. He’s good about that.

You can call any of these people, just use the name of a town (have the ZIP handy just in case and make up an address.) Ever lived there? Use the old address or one of friends, parents, etc. Most of the calls are NOT filtered for precise address – they just do not have time.

You can go to web sites and send a FAX to the listed number. But it’s usual to put an address on those, where a call is much easier.

It’s probably good to write/call Pelosi, too. She takes email as the Speaker. We can let her know we support her tough stance for real health care reform.

SueInCa

Does anyone have a sample letter? I had some but deleted them. I would be eternally grateful.

Also, I have contact with Sanders on a regular basis. I sent him some letters and he put me on his mailing list. So there is one senator out there who does not mind hearing from other than his constituents. I wish there were 58 more like him. I Know Boxer is on our side.

I’ve been sending mixed signals in emails to reps over the past few days. I’m not sure what the hell to say right now. Except maybe “Waaaaahhhh!!”

kesmarn

e’cat, if those were mixed signals you were sending to your reps, it isn’t because YOU are the inconsistent one! Just look at the various and sundry versions of reform we’ve been presented with lately: first the public option is in; then it’s out. Then the 55 buy in for Medicare appears and disappears. It’s easy to see how anyone could support one version of reform while rejecting another!

Excellent, Cher. I will work on this tomorrow.

Cher, good info. I am just saddened you did not list our “progressive” Senators in AZ. McCain and Kyl. 😆

LOL!!!!

I wrote them and asked them to stop the partisanship and begin working for their constituents in providing us with an affordable health care reform bill.
I asked them to show leadership instead of obstructionism.

Do you think they’ll write me back?

nellie

Excellent reference list, Cher. Thank you. This is so helpful.

I sent out emails to the White House, Harry Reid, Nanci Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, and Jane Harman. I hope a lot of other people are doing the same thing.

They need to hear from as many of us as possible. Maybe it will do some good.

Excellent, Cher.
Thank you.
