Lobbying on Health Care Reform 101
Are you interested in talking to your Senator or Representative about health care reform?
We have collected resources from several members of the WISC Health Care Working Group, and they have developed pages geared towards specific religious denominations. These resources are available on our new lobbying page , but will also be in print at the United Methodist building at 100 Maryland Ave. SE, from 10 am to 4 pm on June 24. The United Methodist Building will host:
- A hospitality room with light refreshments
- A room with printed materials to take on visits to Capitol Hill.
- An open chapel with resources for guided meditation and prayer for health care
- A briefing on Health Care reform at 11am by Rev. Cynthia Abrams
If you’re in town early and looking for something to do before the Interfaith Service of Witness and Prayer, this is a great opportunity to see Capitol Hill and speak to your Senator or Representative’s office about this important issue! If you can’t make it to DC, these are great resources to use if you’d like to participate in the National Call-In Days!
If you have questions about the United Methodists’ lobbying hospitality on June 24, please email mhoxie@umc-gbcs.org, or call the building’s direct line at 202-488-5600.
I, as a person 87 years old, am blessed to have health insurance, but I know how many do need it and I am trying to do what i can to get it for every one in our country. I plead with my congress people to do this and hope and pray the money we spend on wars can be spent instead on health insurace for all. Thank you in congress who are working for health care reform.
