Thread: Hypoocrites:Obama's Organizing 4 America making visits to Ki

So...Obama's people aren't organizing health care attacks? What hypocrites... This came in an email.





All throughout August, our members of Congress are back in town. Insurance companies and partisan attack groups are stirring up fear with false rumors about the President's plan, and it's extremely important that folks like you speak up now.

So we've cooked up an easy, powerful way for you to make a big impression: Office Visits for Health Reform.

All this week, OFA members like you will be stopping by local congressional offices to show our support for insurance reform. You can have a quick conversation with the local staff, tell your personal story, or even just drop off a customized flyer and say that reform matters to you.

We'll provide everything you need: the address, phone number, and open hours for the office, information about how the health care crisis affects your state for you to drop off (with the option of adding your personal story), and a step-by-step guide for your visit.

According to our records, you live near Rep. Mark Kirk's office in Northbrook, IL.

Sign up now to visit Rep. Mark Kirk's office in Northbrook this week.

As you've probably seen in the news, special interest attack groups are stirring up partisan mobs with lies about health reform, and it's getting ugly. Across the country, members of Congress who support reform are being shouted down, physically assaulted, hung in effigy, and receiving death threats. We can't let extremists hijack this debate, or confuse Congress about where the people stand.

Office Visits for Health Reform are our chance to show that the vast majority of American voters know that the cost of inaction is too high to bear, and strongly support passing health reform in 2009.

Don't worry if you've never done anything like this before. The congressional staff is there to listen, and your opinion as a constituent matters a lot. And if you bring a friend, you'll have more fun and make an even greater impact.

Wherever you live, these visits matter: Many representatives are pushing hard toward reform, and they are taking a lot of heat from special interests. They deserve our thanks and need our support to continue the fight. But those who are still putting insurance companies and partisan point-scoring ahead of their constituents must know that voters are watching -- and that we expect better.

Earlier this week, the President wrote that "this is the moment our movement was built for" and asked us all to commit to join at least one event this month. This is the way to answer that call, and rise to the challenge of this moment together.

Thank you for going the extra mile when it matters the most,

Mitch

Got the same thing this morning. Smart move, with all the screaming at the few town hall meetings.
The bill has not been finalized, and then it will go to conference committee, so we are a bit away from it becoming law. If I am not mistaken, there are three bills in the House and two in the Senate. As an American, I want to see the final version and have at least a month to think about all 48,000 pages that may come out, with all the pork that always gets thrown into every bill. There are too many things that get shoved through without any input from us employers of the gov't. And then there is apathy on the part of so many, mostly busy trying to figure out how to feed their families.

both bills have been posted online for all to read,
the house bill is over 1000 pages, the senate is just over 800
