ACTION ALERT: Health Care and
Climate at Risk -- Support the
President's Budget
President Obama has proposed a
2010 federal budget that
articulates America's most
urgent priorities. The proposal
contains essential funding for
health care reform and for
curbing global warming, while
making other changes aimed at
putting America on a path for
economic recovery.
The upcoming votes in the House
and Senate will be the first
real political tests for health
care reform and curbs on global
warming. Opponents of both
these important initiatives are
mobilizing to defeat the
President's budget because they
know that's the easiest way to
sidetrack reform. We can't let
them succeed!
In today's economy, it is more
important than ever to support a
budget that includes solutions
to America's toughest problems.
The President's proposal
includes $630 billion over ten
years for health care reform and
$646 billion over the same time
period to reduce the greenhouse
gases that are causing global
warming.
The House and Senate Budget
Committees are expected to
release their budget resolutions
soon, with votes scheduled
quickly after. Make sure your
Representative and Senators know
that any budget that Congress
passes must include investments
in two of our toughest
challenges - health care reform
and global warming.
1. Contact your Senators and
Representative
now, by phone or by email,
and urge them to vote to support
the President's budget. Tell
them you support health care
reform and curbs on global
warming.
2. Send this alert to other
concerned citizens - your
grassroots network, your friends
and coworkers. Encourage them to
contact their Representative and
Senators today!
Send an instant message to your
Senators and Representative
now! Phone calls are helpful as
well, and can be made through
the Capitol Hill switchboard at
202-224-3121 or 202-225-3121.
