Thread: BLAST THE PHONES and counter LA RAZA

Counter the Pro-Amnesty lobby and call the White House comment line and tell them that your Oppose SA 2991.

We need you to ask your senators to stand for fairness in health care reform. For far too long, immigrants have been denied the opportunity to gain access to affordable health insurance. Under the Senate health care reform plan, legal immigrants are required to have health insurance, but must wait five years before they can access insurance programs like Medicaid. Now, the Senate has their first chance to make things better for these communities.

Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) has joined with five other policymakers to introduce Senate Amendment 2991 to health care reform legislation, which would give states the option to eliminate the five-year waiting period for lawfully residing immigrants who need access to Medicaid.


Votes could come in the next couple of days. We need you to take a few minutes to contact national leaders today.

If you only do one thing today, please send this letter to your senators. You can feel free to add your own personal touches or experiences.

If you can lend a little more of your time, please call both of your senators. You can reach them through the Capitol Hotline at (202) 224-3121. You may need to call multiple times. There are many people trying to call about the health care reform debate, including anti-immigrant communities.

YOUR SENATE MESSAGE:
I'm calling from (City, State) to urge you to support Senate Amendment 2991. This amendment helps restore fairness to our health care system, removing a harsh five-year waiting period that prevents legal immigrants from accessing Medicaid.

If you have lots of free time today, please also call the White House and ask them to weigh in on immigrant equity. Please ask them to contact Senate leadership and urge the passage of Senate Amendment 2991. You can reach their comment line at (202) 456-1111.

Sincerely,

Marco Murillo
Legislative Associate, Health Policy Project
