Campaign flyer for health care events

To get our message across, I need your help to print these flyers and distribute them at every health care and political event you care to attend. This will ramp up the pressure on those who want to stand in the way of progress. They can be printed in black and white or color and be cut in half to save on paper. Hand them out, put them on car windows, use them where ever people are interested in health care on both sides of the issue. I want CD21 voters, including those in Smith's own party, to understand that he's not working for The People. And I need them to know that just like you, I already AM working for The People. The intended audience is all voters, the majority of whom agree with these basic principles: stop the pre-existing condition discrimination, make insurance portable, and end financial crisis due to catastrophic and chronic health care.

For my benefit in creating future messaging, I'd appreciate it if you would look at the flyer and tell me what you think. Collectively, we'll create the message that voters cannot ignore. At Ronnie Earle's event the other day all the cars were flyered with John Sharp info. Yes, blanketing the area is a great way to tell voters there is already an alternative to the status quo in Congress. I need everyone who is able to help out with this.

I hear the audience is growing at both the Schertz and Kerrville Lamar Smith town halls on Monday. I hope to see you there!

Thank you, team, for getting out there.

Taking Our Turn in the Health Care Debate

by: Lainey Melnick

Thu Aug 20, 2009 at 01:43 PM CDT

This is our opportunity to voice our support for health care reform and show that this can be done with respect, dialogue, and without needing to use vile, divisive language.

Rep. Smith has scheduled these events only for San Antonio and Kerrville, but will be attending a Chamber of Commerce luncheon on Sept 2nd at the Hyatt in Austin. If you want to let him know that you'd like him to change his vote to yes on reform, please go to any or all of these events. He is looking for letters from constituents, so come prepared with lots of letters.

Local grassroots organizations are working on a combined effort to show a united front for reform. Contact Moveon, Organizing for America and your local democratic party for more information.

We need to make it clear to Rep. Smith that we will remember his no votes at the election booth in 2010. I am counting on that! If you are a supporter of health care reform, please support my campaign.

Kerrville (open to the public):
August 24, 9:30 a.m.
The Kathleen C. Cailloux City Center for the Performing Arts
