“I support amending the United States Constitution to

Secure fair, free elections by limiting the undue influence of money in politics;
Protect the rights of all Americans to equal participation and representation, rather than over-representation of donors and special interests; and
Potect the unalienable liberty of people rather than new privileges for the largest corporations, unions, and special interests; and

I pledge to use my office to advance such a 28th Amendment in the ways and means available to me as a public official, including, but not limited to: sponsoring or cosponsoring bills, resolutions, or other legislation advancing proposal or ratification of such a 28th Amendment; voting in favor of such bills and resolutions in committee, subcommittee, floor or other votes; working to build cross-partisan support; and publicly advocating for the necessity of such a 28th Amendment.”

Medicare for All

Tell them to support H.R. 676. Keep your letter, email, or telephone call simple. In most cases, your message will be processed by a staff member. So, just briefly introduce yourself, say what you have to say, and end with a “thank you.” It should only take a minute. 🙂

A sample:

1) Hello __________, my name is __________. I live in _____(city)_____, _____(state)_____. I am one of your constituents.

2) It’s really important that you support H.R. 676, the ‘Expanded & Improved Medicare for All Act.’

3) Thank you!
