Update from Virginia

by Matt Pendergast | Monday, October 06, 2008

Across the Commonwealth, healthcare professionals are on the move to create lasting reform to repair our broken system.  If you live in Virginia, this is your chance to make change.

Just in the past few weeks Healthcare United has sent delegations of activists to meet with Congressman Dick Wolf and his opponent, Judy Feder. We’ve met with Congressman Jim Moran and his opponent, Mark Ellmore.  We sat down with candidate Gerry Connolly and shared ideas on how to address the great need for affordable care in our communities.  In the Tidewater area a delegation is preparing to meet with Glenn Nye, candidate for Congress in the Second District.  

How can you join us?  Well, for starters you can attend two important events that will turn up the volume on the importance of the healthcare issue for congressional candidates.  On Saturday, October 18, it’s our Get Out The Vote Kickoff in Herndon and we have invited the Congressional Candidates to address the walkers on what their plans are for addressing the healthcare issue. On Saturday, October 25, it’s a chance to Meet the Candidates at our Healthcare Forum in Fairfax.  We are planning a similar event in the Tidewater area as well. 

You can also help us make calls to healthcare workers across the state from our office phone bank in Fairfax and Virginia Beach or right from your own home by clicking on the Make Calls button right on this page.

We are Healthcare United Virginia. We’re going to make real reform happen.  Join us!
