Okay now that we are starting to collect stories, we also need to start finding out what will happen to Medicare. That means calling Congress.
When you call Congress, you need to call your Representative and your Senators. Those are the only people who may or may not take action on your call. Everyone else will at best forward your message to your Rep or Senator. Right now we do not need to do advocacy, we need to do an intelligence appreication of where people stand on Paul Ryan’s “A Better Way” for Medicare.
So when you call your Congressional office, let’s ask a very simple question that we should be able to get a yes or no:
“Does Congressman Doe support Paul Ryan’s “A Better Way” plans for Medicare?”
The next round of calls we’ll start getting a little more pointed. My objective is four fold.
- Gain an accurate appreciation of the current reality
- Get us moving and engaged
- Make Paul Ryan’s plan a strictly partisan thing and turn this fight into Social Security 2005
- Split the Republican Senate caucus as they’ll have to provide all the votes and can only afford three defectors
