Conservatives are running $1 million in ads, starting today, to crush the public health insurance option—the heart of President Obama's health care plan. And they've promised to spend tens of millions more.
To win against the powerful insurance lobby, we'll need to be everywhere. Hundreds of thousands of MoveOn members have already made calls, signed petitions, faxed Congress, rallied at events—and we'll even run our own ads soon—all in support of the public health insurance option.
But with the insurance industry in all-out attack mode, we now need to go even further. Can you drop by your senator's local office April 28 or 29 to tell him or her to stand up for a public health insurance option that would guarantee coverage and reduce costs by up to 30 percent?
Sen. Dianne Feinstein's District Office
2500 Tulare Street, Suite 4290
Fresno, CA
Just stopping by your senator's office for two minutes has more impact than a call, an email—even more than a handwritten letter. And if enough of us show up at the local office, a staffer will call Washington to explain how strongly voters back home are feeling.
Dropping off a flier is easy:
- Write a short, personal note on your flier. Your visit will be more effective if you tell your senator how saving 30 percent on health care will have a positive impact on your life.
- Bring a friend if you want, but you totally don't have to. Don't worry about coordinating with other volunteers—just get to an office! The more individuals who stop by the office, the more powerful the message will be to Congress.
- Tell the staffer that you're there to express support for the public health insurance option. Be polite and friendly, and don't feel like you need to stay more than a minute. Just stopping by is a huge statement.
