1. Call your Representative RIGHT NOW. Click here to find your Representative if you don't already have her/him in your phone.
2. You may have to try several offices before you get through to a staffperson. When someone does pick up or if you can leave a message, here's your script: "Hi, my name is ___ and I'm calling from ___ to urge Rep. ___ to protect my health and the lives of 24 million other Americans by voting NO on the latest Republican attempt to repeal the ACA." Then thank them for taking your call. Always be polite. If you have a healthcare story of your own, please feel free to share it. Other points you may want to mention:
- This plan would take health care away from 24 million Americans over the next 10 years.
- It would end protections for people with pre-existing conditions.
- It would make premiums increase and coverage decrease.
- It's being pushed through too quickly (again) to allow the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office score it.)
4. Share this on Facebook and Twitter - we need an overwhelming outcry!
5. Tweet at your Rep and post on his/her Facebook page, too.
