Pin Congress Down on Facebook!
Posted November 20th, 2009 by Ashley BoydEarlier this month, the House of Representatives approved their health reform bill by a razor-thin margin. Now, opponents of health reform (i.e., highly-paid insurance industry lobbyists) are working to make sure that comprehensive health reform is stopped in the Senate.
It’s time to remind Congress (yes, again!) that real people — their constituents — will not be pacified until Congress passes a healthcare reform package that does right by women, children, and families. Twenty members of Congress are wearing MomsRising’s pacifier lapel pin to show their support for getting health reform right for kids and families. Now, it’s your turn!
Show your support for health reform by wearing your very own pacifier pin — on Facebook! http://apps.facebook.com/momsrising/
We Won't Be Pacified Until Our Broken Healthcare System is Fixed!
When you click the link above, you can create your very own, custom “I won’t be pacified” Facebook photo and status update like the one pictured in this email. Your photo and status update will help mobilize your friends and show members of Congress that you will not be pacified until we get meaningful health reform.
And here’s the coolest part… we’ll also keep track on a U.S. map where our photo submissions come from so members of Congress can see that their constituents are taking a stand for kids, women, and families in health reform.

Invite your friends, colleagues and neighbors to get “pinned” on Facebook too by forwarding this email directly to them or inviting them to participate through Facebook using our application’s “Invite your friends” tool.
Thanks for all that you do!

P.P.S. Together, we really are powerful! Thanks to our matching gift campaign donors, last week we broke our all-time fundraising record, raising more than $50,000 for MomsRising’s health reform campaign! It’s not too late to pitch in! http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/1768/t/9264/shop/custom.jsp?donate_page_KEY=4930

Love seeing the pages and pages of supporters with virtual pins on their photos on Facebook! Very exciting to see the strength and diversity of the people in support of improving our health care system.

November 20, 2009 at 6:36 pm by LOIS MOOREDEMOCRATS NEED TO EWORGANIZE CENTRAL OVERSITE COMMITTEES BECAUSE WHEN REPUBLICANS DEREGULATED EVERYTHING, THAT’S WJEN INDIVIDUALS AND INDIVIDUAL COMPANIES TOOK LICENSE TO HAVE A “PUBLIC BE DAMNED” ATTITUDE TOWARD MOST AMERICAN CIYIZENS, INCLUDING THEIR OWN SUPPORTERS.
IF WE ALL ARE WILLING TO TAKE PART IN OUR RECOVERY FROM THE RAMPAGES OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, WE CAN PNCE AGAIN HAVE CONFIDENCE IN OUR GOVERNMENTAL OFFICIALS.
REPUBLICANS HAVEN’T A BETTER PLAM. THEIR ONLY PLAN IS TO KEEP DEMOCRATS FROM GOING FORWARD!

November 20, 2009 at 5:57 pm by Fred SamecYou are a joke! This bill would bankrupt our nation. Another bureaucracy. This design to kill our senior citizens. The fact that you support it tells me a lot about you and none of it is good.
