Health Care Rally
The sentiment among health care advocates in Washington is clear:
Congressman Schock must be moved to vote in favor of health insurance reform.
The vote in the full House is scheduled for October 12th, and this date is rapidly approaching.
In Peoria, we will hold a rally on October 6th and kick-off an action to call Health Insurance Companies as well as Rep. Schock and Senators Durbin and Reid. See more below
As a community, we MUST send a loud and clear message to Schock:
“We, the people, want you to vote for health insurance reform with a strong public option! Are you complicit in insurance company crimes? Or will you finally stand up for your constituents?” ___________________________________________

NEW TWIST TO MAKING A CALL
We are sick and tired of the abuse that we endure because of big insurance wanting to use our lives for big profit.
The week of October 5th, we will start our Calling Campaign to a Health Insurance
Company Executive.
Call #1:
It is time the Big Health Insurance companies starting hearing from you on health insurance reform. We will provide the Executive’s name and phone, plus some sample scripts.
Call #2:
We will provide phone numbers for Rep. Schock and Senators Durbin and Reid. Let them know what you think of your call to the Health Insurance Executive and that they must support people over health insurance company profits. We need a strong public option with health care reform.
Together, we can do it! Let’s make this happen!
