Today we’re taking it to the streets.
The insurance companies are having a conference in Washington, DC to plot how to kill health reform. Thousands are gathering as we speak to perform a citizens’ arrest. Even though you can’t be there in person, you can help us hold the insurance companies accountable for their crimes.
We’ve obtained the fax numbers for the offices of the insurance companies. With your help, we can shut them down!
Chris Shiflett, guitarist in the Foo Fighters, has recorded a video to deputize you into the citizens’ posse so you can help us arrest the insurance companies:
The insurance companies have committed awful crimes against the American people:
- They violate contracts by selling you insurance and then denying you care1
- They launder money through other front groups – including tens of millions through the ultra right-wing Chamber of Commerce2
- They pervert our democracy by bribing public officials by spending millions per day on corporate lobbyists3
- And 45,000 people die every year because they don’t have insurance4
Today we’re arresting the insurance companies. Tomorrow we’re taking our message to Congress with a citizens’ lobbying day on Capitol Hill. We’ll tell Congress that they need to listen to the people, not insurance company criminals, and pass health reform that works for us – now!
President Obama has called for an up-or-down vote on health reform by Easter. Congress is already gearing up to meet the deadline.5
It’s time to stand up together and stop the insurance companies.
