Tennessee, We Need Your Calls into Congress Now

Tennessee Change that Works activists and ordinary Tennesseans have been calling members of Congress to vote yes for HR 3200, the America's Affordable Health Choices Act. Representative Tanner voted against fixing health care this week--and other Tennessee Representatives could follow suit. It's our job to stop that from happening.

Rep. Gordon, will be voting next week in the House Energy and Commerce committee. It's a critical vote, and get this - Rep. Gordon has indicated that he may vote AGAINST it.

Can you take a moment to make a call? We want calls from Congressional District 6 to Rep. Gordon and calls from throughout the state to your Representative. Tennesseans can't wait any longer for health care reform.

Dial toll-free 1-866-339-6321.

We want you to make that call today-- here's a sample script you can use:

Hello, my name is [your first and last name] and I live in your District at [give your home address].

I am calling to urge my Representative to vote "YES" on America's Affordable Health Choices Act, H.R. 3200, that is before his committee.

It provides quality, affordable care for every American and offsets costs with responsible spending cuts and a fairer tax system.

Tennesseans cannot afford to wait another year to fix our broken health care system.

Members of Congress needs to show the political courage to get this done by voting "YES" on H.R. 3200 in committee today.


This is, by far, the most critical moment yet for health care reform, so I hope you can take a moment to call your Representative's office.

Place a free call into your Congressional office to win health care reform: 1-866-339-6321. Report back to us on your conversation by emailing calls@tnchange.org.

As a major national newspaper said today, "This bill is worth fighting for." So what are we waiting for? Let's fight! I hope you'll call.

Thanks for speaking out.
