Please be sure to get the word out quickly while we still have a voice in how the money will be spent as they put finishing touches on the economic recovery package. We need to stay informed and in contact while congress decides how and where the money will be spent.

COBRA is not a viable option for most people losing coverage. We need a alternative transitional plan to help those who are at risk of losing coverage in the midst of chaos resulting from the economic crisis.

In our efforts to provide an expedient response to an urgent and growing problem, let’s not be too hasty by falling back on those systems already in place that have been not worked for us in the past.

We need a BIG fix to a broken system, and the economic recovery stimulus will not be enough. Consider the options carefully…

Now it your turn to chip in... CALL WASHINGTON!

Dear Elyssa:

Yesterday, you called your Senators and asked them to pass the economic recovery package and retain its health care provisions. Collectively, you made hundreds of calls in less than 24 hours! But from the feedback I've received from you, it's clear that the phone lines are jammed, mostly with Rush Limbaugh fanatics urging a "no" vote.

We need to take this battle to the next level if we want to ensure health care is included in the economic recovery package - and that this package passes at all.

I think it really sucks that I can't read the article posted in account login and password. I have enough of those.





I wasted enough money at Vanderbilt. I should not have to pay $7.50 to read about someone else who feels the Powers That Beat are playing a sophisticated game of bait and switch.



Will someone please forward the text of this article to me online?
