AFSCME Hits the Road for Health Care Reform — Want to Come Along?

August 11, 2009

Congress is on recess this month – but AFSCME is not. Health care isn’t working for America’s middle class. It’s too expensive and too uncertain – and it’s crippling our nation’s economy. That’s why AFSCME has rented an RV and converted it into a mobile action center for a month-long road trip across America. AFSCME will head to states and districts where the most important votes are – to keep the pressure on Congress to fix health care and to do it now.

That's right. AFSCME is on the Highway to Health Care Reform and I hope you'll be right there with us when we deliver the loudest, strongest, message possible – from Bismark, North Dakota to Bangor, Maine.

Join us. Put yourself on AFSCME's special Highway to Health Care Reform road map by adding your voice to the chorus of people telling Congress that real health care reform just can't wait.

We're closer to real health care reform than we've ever been and we can't allow Congress's recess to slow us down.

Send a letter to Congress today and add your name to AFSCME's map: www.Highway2HealthCare.org. You can also download a special Highway to Health Care Reform poster and watch a video about the tour.

Keep up the continued pressure on Congress for health care – summer vacation or not. We'll keep you updated with stories and other easy things you can do to help AFSCME pass real health care reform during the Highway to Health Care tour. Check back on the Highway to Health Care Reform website for regular tour updates, pictures and more.

And for those on Facebook, we’ll post regular tour updates there as well. Follow us at www.Facebook.com/AFSCME.
