Will you march? (HCR related - via MoveOn)

[HughMoran]

Dear MoveOn member,

Last week, we announced the Virtual March for Real Health Care Reform—and the response has been incredible. From labor unions to progressive blogs, from California to Florida, hundreds of thousands of people are ready to take action tomorrow.

The timing couldn't be more critical. With the president's health care plan unveiled yesterday and his congressional summit coming up, all eyes are on health care. This could be our last, big chance to make sure Congress hears our message loud and clear: it's time to get reform done, and done right.


But to hit our goal of one million messages to Congress and truly make this the biggest, movement-wide action of the health care fight, we need more people—like you!--to sign up today.

Will you join the Virtual March? Just click the link below—we'll sign you up and automatically send a fax in your name to Sens. Your Senator and Your Senator. Then on the day of the march, we'll email you to remind you to call your senators as well.

A million messages in one day—from MoveOn members, labor unions, blog readers, members of the Health Care for America Now coalition, Democracy for America, TrueMajority, and other progressive groups—will send an unmistakable message to Capitol Hill.


And we've got to make it huge. With health care reform—including the public option—regaining momentum, there's going to be intense pushback from conservatives and Big Insurance opponents of reform this week and in weeks to come. But as we have for the past year, we've got to break through their noise and make sure Congress remembers that regular folks both want and need real reform.

This is going to be huge—and a lot of fun. But we need as many people as possible from across the country to speak out to make it work. Can you join the Virtual March today? Click the link below to sign up and we'll automatically send a fax to your Sens.:

7. So cool, I love that map on the right side!!! I will be watching the changing colors!

12. A Million Mandate March?

Keep moving MoveOn. The people pointing and laughing are starting to block traffic.

[Romulox]

23. Poke around Moveon.org, and they won't even mention what you're supposed to "march" FOR!

They know that people don't support what they are pushing, so they count on low information voters who don't bother with fine print...

[thotzRthingz]

13. I'm in... with these additional thotz:

ONE MORE TIME--JUST DO IT--PLEASE? ... JOIN THE MILLION-PERSON VIRTUAL MARCH FOR *REAL* HCR!


GOTO http://pol.moveon.org/virtualmarch10/ and SIGN-UP right now!

When you SIGN-UP, they'll automatically send a FAX to both of your U.S. Senators (instead of mine -- Warner & Webb)... and they'll ask you to pick a time-period (there are three of those) within which you will CALL both of your U.S. Senators on the day of the virtual march.

Here's a screenshot of the FAX (upon which they'll fill-in your Senators' names and your signature/name)...



I've got the LOCAL OFFICE TELEPHONE NUMBERS, as well as the D.C. OFFICE TELEPHONE NUMBERS... and I'll be making a call to each of them (perhaps you can do the same, when calling your Senators).

Those of you who can do so... PLEASE post to TWITTER and FACEBOOK about this as well?

Thanks!

Besides joining this VIRTUAL MARCH for HEALTH CARE REFORM (HCR)... and having MOVEON.ORG to send THIS FAX



to both of your Senators... don't forget to CALL your Senators and House Rep. as well, at both their D.C. and LOCAL (near you) offices. Those phone numbers can be found here:

https://writerep.house.gov/writerep/welcome.shtml - HOUSE REP
http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm - SENATORS

Tell them we've waited long enough (decades even)... for much needed HCR. Tell them you would prefer a GOVERNMENT SINGLE PAYER system, but you draw the line at a GOVERNMENT PUBLIC OPTION system which is open to everyone with no restrictions! It's time to put the GREED-MONGERING FOR-PROFITS (health insurance companies) OUT OF ACTION, since they contribute absolutely NOTHING to the health care of Americans... yet they POCKET BILLION$ in PROFITS (and continue raising premiums, co-pays, and deductibles... solely to increase their profit margin). We've had enough of this crap... PASS meaningful HCR now!

34. wow

:woohoo:

[NightWatcher]

14. virtual march? let them type CAKE

the PEOPLE in this country will never get anything without TAKING IT!

At least I am comforted in the fact that we are screaming our way to hell in a bucket and soon we WILL hit the bottom and it will HURT millions.

(on edit)

then something will finally happen.

Not until the willfully ignorant masses are hurt, will anything ever happen

[Romulox]

17. March for mandatory corporate insurance? Right....

Talk about astroturfing! Will premade signs be provided?

[LynneSin]

18. What's sad - Move-On brought hundreds of thousands to their DC protests during the Bush Regime

and we barely get mentioned.

A few thousand teabaggers show up to DC and they get headline news mentioned. Hell Time Magazine put a headline on their cover.

[Tailormyst]

21. I know, right?

[LynneSin]

22. Could you imagine if a member of Move-on flew a plane into a building

:scared:

hell, I've watched the republicans destroy ACORN. I couldn't even begin to imagine what would happen to Move-On.

[Tailormyst]

24. This is what happens when everything is deregulated

and when a couple companies own ALL the media.

[FourScore]

19. Done!

[Tailormyst]

20. How about a real march? I'll do a real march.

I will sign up, but frankly I have little confidence that a virtual anything would get even the slightest reaction in DC.

[Tom_Foolery]

28. I did it...

but I don't expect much to change.
