The solution is national health care reform, which comes up for critical action in the U.S. Congress in September. For information and calls to action, log onto www.wfse.org > Action Center.
A number of town hall meetings are scheduled in coming weeks. While Congress is home on vacation, make sure they hear from you about health care reform. Attend an event in your area with your Members of Congress to show that we need health care reform and we need it now. It would be very good to counter the anti-health care reform rhetoric at these Town Halls. To see the schedule in your area and to download resources you can use, go to www.wfse.org > Action Center.
You've seen the news reports showing the shouting matches at these town hall meetings, some from legitimate frustration, but a lot orchestrated by big business and the big insurance companies. You need to make your voice heard so the call for affordable health insurance isn't drowned out by the greed of the insurance companies.
One important town hall meeting is set this Thursday in Longview.
Senator Murray, Senator Cantwell and Representative Baird are scheduled to be in Longview on Thursday to speak on local issues. This was not scheduled as a health care event, but opponents of health care reform are targeting this meeting as a platform for their message.
We need AFSCME health care reform ADVOCATES in the house. Please try to attend!
