I need your voice on health care

May 21, 2009 American Voices, Health Care No Comments

President Obama is sending out his message too.
I like the digital fource that is being pushed out there.
Keep it up Mr. President & MoveOn.org
————

The chance to finally reform our nation’s health care system is here.
While Congress moves rapidly to produce a detailed plan, I have made it
clear that real reform must uphold three core principles — it must
reduce costs, guarantee choice, and ensure quality care for every
American.

As we know, challenging the status quo will not be easy. Its defenders
will claim our goals are too big, that we should once again settle for
half measures and empty talk. Left unanswered, these voices of doubt
might yet again derail the comprehensive reform we so badly need.
That’s where you come in.

When our opponents spread fear and confusion about the changes we seek,
your support for these core principles will show clarity and resolve.
When the lobbyists for the status quo tell Congress to hold back, your
personal story will give them the courage to press forward.

Join my call: Ask Congress to pass real health care reform in 2009:

After adding your name, please consider sharing your personal story
about the importance of health care reform in your life and the lives
of those you love.

I will be personally reviewing many of these signatures and stories. If you speak up now, your voice will make a difference.

American families are watching their premiums rise four times faster
than their wages. Spiraling health care costs are shackling America’s
businesses, curtailing job growth and slowing the economy at the worst
possible time. This has got to change.

I know personal stories can drive that change, because I know how my
mother’s experience continues to drive me. She passed away from ovarian
cancer a little over a decade ago. And in the last weeks of her life,
when she was coming to grips with her own mortality and showing
extraordinary courage just to get through each day, she was spending
too much time worrying about whether her health insurance would cover
her bills. She deserved better. Every American deserves better. And
that’s why I will not rest until the dream of health care reform is
finally achieved in the United States of America.

Please add your name to join my call. Then share your personal story about why you too will not rest until this job is done.

Last November, the American people sent Washington a clear mandate for
change. But when the polls close, the true work of citizenship begins.
That’s what Organizing for America is all about. Now, in these crucial
moments, your voice once again has extraordinary power. I’m counting on
you to use it.

Thank you,

President Barack Obama

Taxpayers–you andme–are the single biggest shareholder in Bank of America

April 24, 2009 American Voices, Finance, Taxes No Comments

We’re writing because you recently signed a petition to fire Bank of
America’s CEO, Ken Lewis. Today we have a critical opportunity to turn up
the pressure.

Next week, Bank of America’s shareholders will meet in North Carolina to
decide whether to fire Lewis, whose failed leadership has lost the bank
billions of dollars.

But the most powerful shareholder won’t be represented. Taxpayers–you and
me–are the single biggest shareholder in Bank of America, thanks to the
massive bailouts of the bank.

Luckily, our friends at the Service Employees International Union are
going to make sure our voices can’t be ignored. They’re collecting
“taxpayer proxy cards” and will deliver them directly to Bank of America
next week.

Can you show your support for firing Lewis by filling out a proxy card
right now?

http://www.moveon.org/r?r=51365&id=15995-9659800-Zjtdvex&t=3

Under Ken Lewis’ leadership, Bank of America built a business model based
on taking advantage of customers, pushing dangerous financial products on
them, and burying them in more and more debt. And it’s us–the
taxpayers–who are paying the price.

Lewis needs to get the boot so new leadership can take Bank of America in
a new direction. That’s the only way we’ll recoup our investment and the
only way we’ll get our economy back on track.

Please fill out a taxpayer proxy card today so Bank of America’s
shareholders get the message loud and clear that Lewis needs to be fired.

Thanks for all you do,
