Congress has now returned from a two-week
recess and will begin the lengthy process of debate and political
maneuvering. The committees responsible for passing health care
reform have set a target of late June to pass legislation and then have
the full House and Senate vote on the legislation in July. The
opponents of health care reform are now escalating their tactics and
lies that surpass their efforts of 1993 and 1994.
To counter the opponents of fairness,
health care reform supporters must increase our mobilization
efforts. We cannot look back three months from now and realize
that the cost of our INACTION was the reason that we lost this historic
opportunity.
We are going to send a clear and strong
message that the Illinois families and businesses want their
congressperson to be OUT IN FRONT for health care justice. Will
your member of Congress be OUT IN FRONT for accessible, affordable and
guaranteed quality health care? Or will they support the insurance
industry and other special interests by opposing President Obama’s
effort?
CBHC and our coalition partners are
holding OUT IN FRONT events and town hall meetings in congressional
districts throughout the state. Each event will be different and
feature key constituencies (faith, small businesses, labor, providers,
seniors, etc.) who are OUT IN FRONT with us demanding health care
reform.
JOIN with members of your community.
Because of your ACTION, we will make a difference.
