Free fax to ask to score Single-Payer: Health Rally in DC JUNE 25

Roundup on Yesterday's Rangel Action
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yesterday we began a fax campaign to Rep. Rangel and his committee members. I asked you to send the Congressman a convincing number of faxes in advance of his meeting with single payer advocates which is happening on Monday.
Results this morning: First thing in the office I got a call from poor beleaguered Mr. Elbert Garcia, the Communications Director in the New York office. We featured his email address yesterday. He woke up this morning to a very full email inbox and didn't know how he was going to respond to all the emails. I asked him just to let the Congressman know that the floods will stop when HR 676 goes to CBO for scoring.
Mr. Garcia also complained that no one could get through on their fax machine in New York and no one could fax out. Admittedly, this is a problem and so we cut the New York office out of the fax stream. The faxes still go to the DC office of the Congressman.
***Congresman Rangel is meeting with single payer advocates on Monday. Mr. Garcia assured me that our faxes are being tallied and reported to MR. Rangel. Therefore, let's make sure the Congressman knows there are a LOT of people who want HR 676 scored by CBO. Let's keep sending faxes through the weekend and into Monday.

Score HR 676. Now. No more excuses. (CBO needs to estimate the cost).
