Contact your Members of Congress!!!

Hello Everyone!

As you know, Ogan is due to arrive in DC on Sunday the 26th.
This means we only have one week left to spread the word about it, and Contact Congress to ask they see him on our behalf upon arrival.

Now there is a VERY easy way for you to do it all in just a few clicks too!

This article below was published yesterday about the Walk; and it gives an overview of the movement while pointing out the strength is in blending both high-tech devises and “feet on the ground” activism.

“Where the Tech-Rubber Meets the Activism-Road”
http://www.opednews.com/articles/Where-the-Tech-Rubber-Meet-by-Heather-Meyer-090717-595.html

At the bottom of each page is a Take Action link that reads:
“Meet with The People on Health Care, by Meeting with Dr. Gurel”

Follow this link and you will see: You can Contact Congress (both houses, add personal message), send the article to your local newspaper, then pass it onto your friends and family, and ask them to do the same! If you prefer to Call Congress, then there is a handy-dandy phone number lookup for you there instead. Calling can be a great way to get an answer back from your members of Congress too; just ask the person taking your call for a return call to get an answer if your rep will meet with Ogan, and then let us know what you were told.

If you would like to see more press on the Walk for Healthcare or want more to pass on to others, it can be found here:

The only thing that’s missing from the press archives at this moment is the interview Ogan just had with Dick Kay of Chicago’s Progressive Talk – great stuff, will post when ready!

Lastly, I wanted to thank everybody that has really stepped up to support the Walk. It has been a sight to behold, to see everybody coming together like this for health care reform. I can’t tell you how much we appreciate it! Ogan will be posting one incredible story about a supporter today too, so stay tuned…

Please let me know if there is something I can do to help you with this effort too!


Thank you,
