100,000 Calls to Congress

The President is calling on supporters of healthcare reform to take a few minutes to call their Congressional representatives. The goal is to hit 100,000 phone calls today. Currently, there have been 4,000 calls made.

To look up the names and phone numbers of your Congressional representatives, visit the link below:

It's very easy to use. Just enter your zip code, and the information for both of your Senators and your Representative will be displayed. The site will also give you a sample call script, so don't worry if you don't know what to say! When you're finished, be sure to click the "Report Calls" button so that we can see how close we are to achieving our goal.

Don't let this opportunity to have your voice heard slip by. With the healthcare reform bills coming out of the committees now, it will soon be up to your representatives to vote on them.

  1. Wow. I am completely amazed. I just checked the website for the latest numbers. 105,000 calls have been made, and they didn't start until a little after 9AM Central. That means we hit the goal in under four hours. Amazing!

    Hope that you all participated. If not, get in there and make some phone calls! The more calls that are made, the more likely it is that your representatives will listen.
