South Tampa Potluck &
Phonebank
Oct 6
6:00 pm South Tampa (SOG)
This will be a great
opportunity for fellowship with like-minded, engaged people and
to do good work. We'll eat, chat and then hit the phones to ask
others in our community to ask our representatives in Congress
to support health insurance reform. Today, my neighbor was
diagnosed with cancer (melanoma). He has been employed with the
same company for 15+ years; 5mos ago they dropped his insurance
coverage. He was told that he will have trouble finding an
oncologist to take his case, since he has no insurance. His wife
bought a cremation plan for him today. No doubt, many of you
could share similar stories. For me, this isn't just about good
public policy, it's about neighbors. Directions provided on
RSVP.

Americans listen to their nurses and doctors when it comes to
health reform -- and for good reason. We're hosting a Health
Care Forum with a panel of local physicians who will share why
they support Health Insurance Reform. The Forum will be followed
by a Phone Bank where you call people and ask them to call their
Members of Congress. (We'll supply the call list).

Please join our YWCH.CCFL
Faith Outreach on Sunday mornings (11am-1pm) to enlist petition
signatures to support the President's Health Care Reform for the
USA (should you speak Spanish, French and/or Creole, that would
be most helpful). We will discuss support for the President's
health care reform for the USA with congregation members - after
and outside - the church services. We have been invited by very
supportive Faith leaders and their congregations in Collier
County, FL who intend to see the President's health care reform
passed by Congress this year. Many of these neighbors have been
directly affected by the health care crisis in America and
understand the severe personal fallout of it all too well. We
are ready to join together with these fellow supporters - all we
need is YOU! We look forward to hearing from you ASAP. Thank
you. Any questions or to get locations:
