April, 29: Call In Day – Pass Universal Health Care in the New York State Assembly

We need to get as many calls to members of the New York State Assembly as possible on Tuesday, April 29th in support of bringing the New York Health bill to a vote before the session ends in June.

With enough pressure, we can pass this bill in the Assembly, which will send a big message: New Yorkers want truly equitable, universal health care without private health insurance companies!

Assemblyman Richard Gottfried authored a letter to Speaker Silver, asking him to bring the bill to the floor for a vote. You can help by calling your Assembly person and urging them to sign on to Assemblyman Gottfried’s letter to Speaker Silver.

Every call counts! It makes a big difference to hear directly from their constituents.

Just follow these simple steps to make a big impact on health care justice:

1) Look up your NYS Assembly person at www.votesmart.org.

2) Contact the NYS Assembly Capitol Switchboard at (518) 455-4100 and ask for your Assembly Representative’s office.

3) Sample Scripts:

Hi, I’m a constituent of Assembly person ________. Today, I’m calling to request he/she join Assemblyman Gottfried in the “Dear Colleague” letter to Speaker Silver asking for the New York Health bill (5389A) to come to a vote this session.
