Toll-free number: 1-888-797-8717
Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon and the Oregon Interfaith Health Justice Campaign are joining with people of faith across the nation by calling our on legislators to support health care reform. Now is the time to let your members of congress know your belief that health care that covers everyone is a moral imperative.
The time is NOW!
We have never been so close to making health care reform happen in the U.S. But what that reform will look like depends on who has the ear of our elected leaders. If we want a health care system that reflects our faith-inspired values, it will be up to us to communicate those values.
Tips for a successful phone call:
-Dial the toll-free number 1-888-797-8717.
- Once you are connected with the Capitol Switchboard, ask for the offices of your Senators or Representative by name.
-Once you are connected with the office, ask to speak with the health care staffer.
-Tell them your name, what congregation you are from including the city and state.
-Tell them that enacting health reform this year is a moral imperative.
-If you know they are a strong supporter of health care reform thank them for their support.
-Feel free to tell them about why you see health reform as a moral imperative and what you hope to see included in health reform legislation.
This toll-free number was made possible with support from the United Church of Christ Justice and Witness Ministries and the General Board of Church and Society of the United Methodist Church in collaboration with Faithful Reform in Health Care.
[If we are so successful that you get repeated busy signals, don't worry... your dialed attempt will be counted! Just send an email with the same message instead: Senators Representative]
