Talking Points: What to tell Congress during their August recess

The message below is the result of a collaborative effort among Archimedes Movement Community Leadership Council members and staff. Members of Congress are holding town hall meetings all over the country in August. We're maintaining a list of the Oregon ones here

Now is the time to share your views on health reform.

Your Job: Keep the Legislature on Course

Three ways to get your message heard in Salem

In the midst of a legislative session with tough economic decisions to be made, it's very easy for the well-intentioned Oregonians serving in our legislature to lose sight of the goals of health reform. We have three ways to help you remind them to be bold and set a course for Oregon's future health system.

Obama and McCainThe Archimedes Movement invites you and your guests to join us on a statewide (and beyond) house party conference call with John Kitzhaber on Thursday, October 16th. The call is to discuss the health reform plans of Presidential candidates Sen. John McCain and Sen. Barack Obama, as well as address the need for grassroots reform at the state level. This is a great opportunity for you to invite family, friends, and neighbors into your home to not only learn learn about the candidates' plans but also to grow the Archimedes Movement.

It's Real Simple:

  1. Sign-up to be a host
  2. We'll provide you with the "How-To Kit" (see attachments below)
  3. Invite 5-10 friends, family or neighbors over to your house
  4. We'll then email you the conference call number 4 days prior to the event
  5. Pick up the phone on October 16th @ 7pm and dial-in

What You'll Then Need:

  1. A phone (with a speakerphone option)
  2. Internet connection (It will help but is not mandatory)
  3. A living room (or a space with chairs so guests don't sit on the floor)
  4. 5-10 friends
  5. A desire to reform health care from the grassroots level

These house parties will occur all over Oregon and will give people a chance to come together around a common goal: working to fix a broken health care system trough grassroots education and mobilization. With your help this event accomplishes the following:

  • Educates people on where the candidates stand on health reform

  • Introduce the Archimedes Movement to new people
