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:
