Dear MoveOn member,
The big House vote on health care reform is scheduled for Sunday, and Rep. Lynch is one of the key votes needed to pass the bill.
But he still hasn't publicly said how he'll vote.1 And it might come down to a single vote.
Rep. Lynch's office is getting bombarded by calls from both sides, so a quick visit to his office is the best way to break through the noise and remind him what's at stake on Sunday.
Rep. Lynch has an office right near you in Brockton. Can you print out a flier showing the tremendous impact that reform will have for residents of the 9th district, and drop it off before the end of the day TODAY to ask him to vote yes on reform?
The office is located at:
155 West Elm Street Suite 200
Brockton, MA 02301
Passing health care reform would be historic. It would lower costs, expand coverage to 32 million Americans, end insurance company discrimination for pre-existing conditions,2 and be the biggest deficit reduction measure in 25 years.3
The flier shows, in detail, what health care reform would mean for families, young adults, small-business owners, and hospitals in your area. It will remind Rep. Lynch that reform is not just an abstract concept or a political battle—it would have a profound impact on real people in his district. He needs to see this handout before he makes up his mind.
Please make time today to visit Rep. Lynch's office. You can download the flier and get all the information you'll need here:
