Health Reform is Crucial- write a letter while congress is in recess.

Spirit of Sankofa writes.........

Health care reform is one of the important issues on the table. Congress is on break, and "We The People" should use this opportunity to make our voices heard. It is far time for us as a whole not continue to rely on congress and lobbiest to speak for the people. Let us join by writing the editors of your local news papers, in order to let them know we need a resolution and we need it quick.
Let's do what we can..

Congress is at home for a two-week break. When they get back to DC, health care will be on top of the agenda.
Write a letter to the editor of your paper today.
As you read this, Congress is at home for two weeks of recess. And what your member of Congress hears from you is crucial to the direction of the health reform debate on Capitol Hill.
Make sure Representative Towns hears from you during the congressional recess.

Take a few minutes today to write a letter to the editor of your local paper. To help you get started, I've included a few tips and talking points.

In March, five Republican senators reached out to President Obama and pledged to work with him to pursue bipartisan reform. It's an encouraging sign that we can finally end the partisan fighting and pass meaningful health care reform this year.

But the mood in Washington can turn on a dime. It's crucial that Congress knows that health care reform is not just the Obama administration's priority -- it's the American people's priority.

While members of Congress are at home for the April recess, they need to see and hear "health reform" everywhere they go -- from the supermarket to their morning breakfast table. And if there's one thing we know your lawmaker has on the breakfast table, it's the local morning paper.
The truth is what Representative Towns hears from constituents is far more powerful than anything a talking head or interest group could ever say or do. In just the few minutes it takes to write a letter, you can be more influential than the most connected D.C. lobbyists.
Writing a letter to the editor is simple --

start your letter now -- and make sure Representative Towns hears from you during April recess.

Thank you for being a part of this crucial effort to bring access to affordable, quality care to all Americans. We couldn't do this without you.
