Activist Judy Stadtman Tucker took to the radio waves this week to talk about her work with Change that Works, Health Care for America Now, and Organizing for America for the cause of health insurance reform for the radio show 'Wake Up AMerica.' In the wake of this month's town hall hubbub, Judy shared with the program's listeners the important strides being made by groups that support health insurance reform.
On the recent town halls:
"I think that what we're really doing, what Change that Works is, is a real grass roots mobilizing campaign. We're really citizen-to-citizen contact. In grassroots organizing it's really about talking to people, having the conversation about why it matters...and really, we're working now more on setting the record straight, and correcting some of the misinformation out there."
On the public option:
"What we see with the public option...It would keep private insurers honest and ensure that all families have coverage."
On activism:
"When you get an invitation to do something, say yes. We're really hitting the crisis point in this battle. So when you get an email--call your congressperson, come to this rally--the most important thing you can do is say yes. That's what an ordinary, every day voter can do to help most right now."
