Many of you have already taken on special "Local Lawmaker Office Visits" this week to push your senators and representatives to pass meaningful health care -- now I want to open up the invitation to everyone else.
Obama and Congress need all our support for meaningful health care reform. We're looking at Thursday and Friday of this week to personally do local office visits to our federal lawmakers -- although some of you took on other days which is fine.
The Mission: Go to the local office of your two senators and your representative, share with them your experience [of your family or friends' experiences] with our current health care system and that you want REAL reform this time. It should not take more than twenty minutes. For the PA Senators, I have also included links to a map that will show where their office is -- they are both in the same office building. You can kill two birds with one stone. Outside Pgh, see these two sites to locate your federal lawmakers -- the House Reps are HERE and the Senators are HERE.
While doing these visits, feel free to express other state or national concerns [Iraq, high-speed rail, global warming, etc.] that you may have. But emphasize health care!!
Be clear -- it's FINE that you don't know lots of details about any given issue. Just say what your concerns are, your experience and a general sense of what would make a difference to you. See on my blog below Kathleen Paul's talk she gave in Mercer, PA.
Below are listed the local offices of the PA folks you need to visit. Look to see which are the closest to you or would work best given your schedule. Read carefully. A few of the local offices are staffed only once in a while. In those cases, the office hours are included.
Please send me an e-mail when you're done and share your experience to jd2i@andrew.cmu.edu. I will post some of these notes to my blog!
Good luck ... and thank you so much for taking this on!!
