Action Steps for February 15th

ACTION STEPS

1. Sign the Petition

2. Contact the SENATORS listed below.

3. Contact the REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP listed below.

We have made this easy for you.  We have broken the country into five regions and the 10 Senators into five groups.  Each day, you call and email the group of Senators that is assigned to your region of the country for that day.  This way, all 10 Senators will have a constant barrage of calls and emails all week.  We need to make sure they feel the pressure daily.  They need to know we are watching and waiting.

All of the contact information is listed below the chart.  It has been highly recommended that we target their local district offices when calling, as they are not used to getting pressure like the DC offices.

Of course, you can always do more and call more than just the one group assigned to your region that day!  If you want to call more, I would suggest calling and emailing the Senators with an asterisk next to their name, as they are the ones that are up for reelection in 2010.

When contacting these Senators, let them know that you expect them to stand firm and not make any concessions on a government takeover of health care. You can refer to the petition for a list of things that we will not compromise on in these health care negotiations.

Also, please email the Chief of Staff for each Senator!

REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP to Contact
The Republican Leadership in the House is committed to stand firm and wants to start from scratch.  We need to support their efforts and let them know we are standing behind them.  We should thank them for listening to the American people.

Congressman John Boehner
Congressman Eric Cantor
Congressman Mike Pence

We are not hearing the same things come from the Republican Leadership in the Senate.  We need to contact the Republican Leadership in the Senate and let them know what we expect from them.  They need to know that we expect all Republicans to insist that all negotiations start over with a blank sheet of paper.

Senator Mitch McConnell
Senator Jon Kyl
