Call Melissa Bean's office today for health care

Health Care for America Now (HCAN) is urging 8th District constituents to phone Representative Melissa Bean's office today and ask her to support President Obama's proposed budget, especially the funding of $634 billion for health care over the next ten years.

This is the second day of a call-in campaign. Word is that Congresswoman Bean is on the fence. We can let her know it's important to fund solutions to the health care crisis. (In fact, we can't afford not to fix health care if we want a full economic recovery, but more on that later.)

HCAN has an online app here (you'll need to sign up if you haven't already, then click "CALL") that saves the cost of a phone call and lets you record the outcome of the call - the name of the staffer you spoke to and the present stance of the politician called. Be polite! It's likely we're at the start of an extended discussion with the Congresswoman's office.
