Part 2 of "Contact Reid/Baucus day". July 22, 2009
Yesterday I said I was trying to gain support for a "Contact Reid/Baucus" day on July 22, 2009 which is right at a week from now. I am hoping to post at least once a day about it to build up support for this and hopefully get others calling these two gentlemen on that day.

Here is "Organizing for America" web page devoted to the many ways you can call your friends and neighbors about supporting a legitimate health care reform bill. It includes ways to write letters to editor of newspapers, contact congress, etc.

Here is contact information for Max Baucus:

Max Baucus Phone 202-224-2651

Max Baucus Fax 202-224-9412

Here is contact information for Harry Reid:

Harry Reid Phone 202-224-3542

Harry Reid Fax 202-224-7327

Important points about calling these senators' offices that I reworked from the information on the "Organizing for America" website:

----------------------------------------
Be polite, respectful and clear.
Introduce yourself to whoever answers the phone and let them know you are aware of their leadership roles in the health care debate.

Tell them you are calling to say that you strongly support President Obama’s three principles for health care reform in 2009. Congress must pass a plan that reduces costs, guarantees choice – including the choice of a robust public insurance option – and ensures quality care for every American.

Ask if Reid/Baucus also supports these three principles. And ask that they take the lead in fighting entrenched and wealthy interests who wish to see meaningful health care watered down or doomed.

----------------------------------------

Please let me know your thoughts on this, and any suggestions you have.

My original post from yesterday is here:
