RESPONSE TO REPUBLICANS DeMINT, MICHAEL STEELE, MITCH McCONNELL, JOHN McCAIN, ET AL: While I am not one of your constituents, I am an American citizen and, as such, you DO represent me. I am also a practising RN. Using the health care crisis in this country, using the unfortunate among us who do not have access to quality health care as foils to further your party’s political fortunes, makes a mockery of everything this country stands for. You and others like you embarrass me. I have seen ‘your’ ads and read the op-eds and seen and heard the bytes. These are clearly tactics to misinform and scare people who look to you for help and guidance in their time of need. These tactics are beyond shameful. These Republican actions are reprehensible, sir. If you and your cohorts were performing your sworn duty to look after the best interests of your electorate, you would be informing yourselves of the issues regarding health care reform and working to find a meaningful LONG OVERDUE solution. I suggest you begin at pnhp.org. Sincerely, YOUR NAME, YOUR CITY, STATE & ZIP CUT, PASTE, FAX, PHONE, FWD AT WILL.
Bad news…1payer.net’s site crashed & is undergoing a major renovation. THEY HAVE GREAT TOOLS YOU CAN USE, EVERY DAY.
It is a CLICKER’S TREASURE TROVE OF TOOLS.
The good news…………the good news is that users like us crashed it by use, use, using it over the weekend.
Start your own BLOG AND CLICK TOOL BOX in “drafts” or in a folder so they will be just a click away and ready to use when inspiration strikes.
THINK cut,copy, paste, phone fax and FWD.
PRESIDENT OPBAMA HAS PUT OUT A REQUEST FOR HELP.
A call for help has gone out so, Bloggers and Clickers…
Dress rehersal is over and it is Showtime.
GET ACTIVE, BE ACTIVE, STAY ACTIVE. LET’S GET BUSY!
Good idea to contact Congress, horrible idea to use the letter provided by Ms Stranaghan! The sentiment is there, and the passion, but the content positively stinks. Anything like that coming into a Congressional office would either be trashed before it had a chance to be counted or (worse)it would taint the Congressman/woman’s view of the writer’s intellect to the point that he/she would be sure to vote against the idea in the name of sanity. Be factual, spell correctly, and resist any attempt at ranting if you’re planning to further the cause.
A wonderful job. Super hfelupl information.
Thanks Laurel! Great ideas.
