Long Shot to Get Kucinich Single-Payer Amendment Back In Bill; Pressure for the Weiner Amendment
Nov 2, 2009

ACTION NEEDED TODAY: Democratic House leaders can insert what is called a "Manager’s Amendment" into legislation, even when it is closed to any other amendments. The managers are the majority and minority members who "manage" debate for the bill on each side.

Today, tomorrow, and beyond, we need to call these "managers" and insist that the Kucinich Amendment is restored into the healthcare bill.



 The "gang" that holds our future in their hands - the people you need to call NOW - are:


* Speaker Nancy Pelosi:
  • Washington, DC, office (202) 225-4965; 
  • San Francisco office (415) 556-4862

* Majority Leader Steny Hoyer:
  • Washington, DC, office Phone - (202) 225-4131 - Fax - (202) 225-4300
  • Greenbelt office (301) 474-0119; 
  • Waldorf office (301) 843-1577

* Rep. Henry Waxman:
  • Washington, DC, office (202) 225-3976; 
  • Los Angeles office (323) 651-1040

* Rep. Charles Rangel:
  • Washington, DC, office (202) 225-4365; 
  • New York office (212) 663-3900

* Rep. George Miller:
  • Washington, DC, office (202) 225-2095; 
  • Concord office (925) 602-1880; 
  • Richmond office (510) 262-6500; 
  • Vallejo office (707) 645-1888

NOTE: When talking to Waxman and Pelosi's offices be sure to also tell them you want the vote on the Weiner Amendment she and Waxman promised on July 31st - We also need and have a right to see the CBO scoring on the Weiner Amendment.
