email of 1/25/2010 from General Board of Church and Society, The United Methodist Church

Call your Members of Congress TODAY!

Dear Raymond,

“Today is the day …”

Our Social Principles declare: “Health care is a basic human right.” At this critical juncture we need to urge the U.S. Congress to complete the task at hand on behalf of the millions left out and left behind in our current system.

Please contact your U.S. representatives and senators TODAY,
(or if you cannot get through, call anytime during week) to remind them that the vision of health care for all is still alive.

CALL TOLL FREE: 1-888-797-8717

Following is a sample phone conversation:

"As a person of faith and a United Methodist, I care very much about ensuring that everyone has health care. This is your moment for political courage, vision, leadership and faith. We are praying for you as you deliberate and appeal to you to move meaningful health-care reform forward. At this critical juncture we urge you to complete the task at hand on behalf of the millions left out and left behind in our current health-care system."

Let us make our voices heard!
