Not For Sale Fast For Freedom Prayer Guide

"For what it's worth, and that's a lot...

If you are concerned about Americans' access to healthcare insurance and the changes proposed by the Republican party, please call Paul Ryan. It takes under two minutes and it literally is a matter of life and death for so many people. You won't speak with a human, only a computer.

Paul Ryan is conducting a phone poll on the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) to gather public opinion on it. If you would like to express your support for the Affordable Care Act, call 1-202-225-0600. Press 2 to weigh in on the issue. You'll hear a brief recording about HR-3762, Paul Ryan's proposal to gut the ACA, and President Obama's use of his veto power to stop it. You will then have a chance to indicate your opinion with the press of a button. Press 1 if you support Obamacare, or 2 if you oppose it.

Speaker Ryan's voicemail is full, so there isn't an opportunity to leave a more detailed message, you only get to push the opinion button. Super-easy to do, so please do it!"
