From OFA Director Mitch Stewart:

Organizing for America volunteers have done amazing work over the last couple weeks — and the pressure is working. Congress is moving rapidly toward finalizing health care reform legislation, with crucial votes expected in both the House and the Senate within days. With so much at stake — and the D.C. lobbyists going into overdrive — we have to take our grassroots campaign to the next level.

So we’re announcing the Health Care Reform Week of Action. All this week, OFA volunteers like you will be knocking on doors, making calls to neighbors, and attending public events to build the local support for health care reform we need to pass a strong final bill. If you can spare an hour or two for health care reform, this is the week to do it.

Find and sign up for a Health Care Reform Week of Action event near you.

Things are moving quickly in Washington. Key committees in both the House and Senate have passed early versions of the bill that reflect the President’s principles for real health care reform. We’re making progress in large part because legislators are hearing from Americans who have waited far too long for reform.

But the opposition also knows how crucial this week is. That’s why they’re spending as much as $1.4 million every single day sending high-powered lobbyists around D.C. to hold back reform. Our best weapon against these insider tactics is publicly demonstrating support back home — exactly what this week’s actions are designed to do.

So please join us for the Health Care Reform Week of Action. As we get closer to final votes in Washington, we need to keep pounding the pavement, hitting the phones, and reaching out to the public every way we can.

Hope to see you out there,

Mitch
