MARCH FOR HEALTHCARE REFORM Days 3-5:
THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE
Friend --
The Final March for Reform is going strong
-- yesterday, OFA supporters made the phones ring off the hook
in Congressional offices on Capitol Hill and across the country.
But for every member of Congress, there are eight anti-reform
lobbyists swarming Capitol Hill -- and the upcoming vote is still
too close to call.
So in these crucial, final days, we must
make sure the voices of constituents break through the lobbyist
attacks. And here's the plan to make it happen:
As the next step in the Final March for
Reform, OFA supporters like you will be gathering at volunteer
phone banks across the country. We'll be calling supportive voters
in critical districts nationwide, asking them to reach out to
their representatives and express their strong support for reform.
A local OFA organizer will be on hand at every event, and no
experience is required.
Here's how to join in: First, find and
RSVP for an event near you. Before you go, make sure to invite
friends to come with you, or help them find an event in their
area on our website. Then join with local supporters at your
event and reach out to as many voters as you can -- each call
makes a vital difference.
Click here
to get started.
As we speak, insurance-industry lobbyists
are deploying from their emergency base at the D.C. Ritz-Carlton,
banging down the door of every Congressional office on Capitol
Hill to derail reform and preserve their ability to jack up premiums
and deny care to those in need.
In the old Washington, that would have
been an unstoppable barrage.
But thanks to your unprecedented organizing,
the lobbyists have finally met their match: the American people.
So let's get out there, and make sure the
people's voice is heard.
Please sign up to join the Final March
for Reform event in your area:

Let's finish this,

how successful we all are in this fight.The rally will begin

there!
If you have any questions about the rally,
please feel free to contact Trevor Southerland atTMSoutherland@gmail.com

A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely
more than much knowledge that is idle.

Pennsylvania Young Democrats.
--------------------
Subject: A new kind of organization in PA
Hey Everyone,
Sorry for sending a few emails at once,
but we were holding somethings back since we had an event this
week.
Below is a message from Josh McNeil, Executive
Director of Conservation Voters of Pennsylvania. This is a topic
many of you have expressed interest in previously and I encourage
you to reach out to Mr. McNeil. His email is joshua.mcneil@conservationpa.org.
MESSAGE:
In 2010, Pennsylvania is facing environmental
challenges unlike any it has faced before. Drilling companies
are flocking to the state, hungry to drill thousands of new wells
to reach its massive natural gas deposits. Their process pollutes
millions of gallons of water and poses a dangerous threat not
only to the surrounding areas, but to the drinking water of everyone
in Pennsylvania.
More frightening, these gas drillers are
currently the top political contributors to Tom Corbett, one
of the leading candidates for Governor in 2010.
These drillers pose a threat to Pennsylvania’s
health and safety for generations to come and we’re going
to need a new kind of solution to deal with them. Unlike most
environmental organizations, the new Conservation Voters of Pennsylvania
is organized as a 501(c)(4) organization with an affiliated PAC,
meaning that we can participate directly in elections, lobby
legislators without limit, and bring a different set of tools
to the project of protecting Pennsylvania’s environment.
Other environmental groups work to change
the minds of our legislators and we’ll be there to support
their efforts. The difference is: if that doesn’t work,
CVPA will be there to get rid of those legislators in the next
election.
We’re a new organization with a new
board of directors, a new staff and a tremendous amount of energy,
but we’re built on a successful model used by the national
League of Conservation Voters for 40 years and by similar organizations
in 33 other states. We’re ready to get started, but we’re
going to need your help.
Today is a particularly important day for
CVPA as we launch our website and begin to make ourselves known.
To help get us started, an anonymous donor has agreed to match
any contribution we receive before the close of business on Monday,
March 1 up to $5000.
Contribute $100 now and your donation will
be worth twice that. Thanks to you, on Monday, we’ll have
enough cash in the bank to start building a cleaner, healthier
Pennsylvania.
Please contribute at http://www.conservationpa.org/donate.html
Thanks for helping us get started. We look
forward to working with you in the future.
Sincerely,
Josh McNeil, Executive Director, Conservation Voters of Pennsylvania
Please note: Because Conservation Voters
of Pennsylvania is a 501(c)(4) organization, contributions to
CVPA are not tax deductible.
