4 Online Tools For Promoting Universal Health Care in the U.S.

FOUR ON-LINE TOOLS FOR LETTER WRITING CAMPAIGN

 

1. Personalized Letters to Your Senators and Congressional Representatives via Their Official Web Pages

 

To find out who your senators and Congressional representatives are and get their official web pages, go to the following website and enter in the US zip code where you are registered to vote: www.congressmerge.com/onlinedb/. Then simply cut and paste your letter into the template on the senators or congressional representative's web page to make your voice heard. We encourage you to send your healthcare reform support letters even if you believe your senator is in agreement with healthcare reform because the more letters they get in support of healthcare reform, the harder it will be for them to succumb to the opposition.

 

2. Personalized Letters to President/Editors via Organizing for America Healthcare Action Center Website

 

At this website, you can pledge your support for healthcare reform and then cut and paste your personalized letter supporting healthcare reform to both President Obama as well as access a link to send letters to various national, regional and local editors of American newspapers: http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/health-care-action-center/

 

3. On-Line Petition Supporting a Public Healthcare Reform Option

 

At this website, you can sign a petition supporting a public healthcare option for healthcare reform that will be sent to the senators in the state in which you are registered to vote: http://act.credoaction.com/campaign/public_option/?r_by=4564-1917584-3IulBKx&rc=confemail

 

4. Personalized Letters to News Editors (similar to Organizing for America's tool)
