Lobby Update - For the week of Nov. 16th – 20th

Senate Calendar:
  • Sen. Bernie Sanders is likely to introduce SB 703 during Senate floor debate on Harry Reid's Senate health care bill
  • Sen. Sanders is also going to introduce a separate amendment asking for a waiver of federal limitations on the ERISA act which would facilitate individual states to impliment a state single payer program

The ‘Ask’ for our members

  • For both Senators we ask “support Senator Sander's SB 703 and ERISA amendments
  • For Sen. Patty Murray, please ask why she voted against the ERISA amendment in the Finance Committee in July

--- James Floyd   

 

Tips on Contacting your Members of Congress

  • Phone calls are better than emails
  • Emails are better than written letters
  • Ask for the representatives' health care assistants
  • Personal note is better than a canned request


Our next UfSP meeting will be [Wed. 18 Nov] at Swedish Cherry Hill, Casey Room next to the cafeteria, 6 pm
Let us know what response you receive….
