If you’ve never contacted a public official, it can seem a little scary. I promise, it’s not. Here is a very simple guide to how-to-make-difference-in-less-time-than-it-takes-you-to-read-an-insurance-claim-rejection-letter:
1. Go to http://whoismyrepresentative.com and enter your zip code.
2. See the phone number next to your representative’s picture? Call it and say this:
My name is ____________ and I am a registered voter in ____________. I am calling to encourage ____________ to support the public health insurance option in Obama’s health care plan.
See how easy that was?
3. Now click on the senators and repeat.
Good job. Here, have a lollipop. Now if you’re all fired up and want some more talking points, go here.
Well put. Now go do it! I’ll wait here.
