Funny thing, I've tried calling my congressman before a couple of times. The secratary always tells me the congressman dosen't reply to phone calls, and you must put your request in writing and send it to his office. I'm pretty sure that's what I was told, but it was a log time ago so I could be wrong!

Scaring folks around the country this year is the possibility of not winning real health care reform. As both the House and Senate prepare to vote on their health care bills, many Members of Congress remain undecided or against real reform.

Citizen Action of New York There's a public option in the Senate health care bill - and it's because of the work of our own Senator Schumer. As recently as last week, Leader Harry Reid indicated that there wouldn't be a public option. Senator Schumer worked with his colleagues to make sure it was included. Take a minute right now to thank Senator Schumer for fighting for our best interest!

Our Senator, Chuck Schumer, was a guiding force in achieving this success. He has championed the public option in the Senate, and pushed hard to make sure it ended up in the final bill.

Over the past year, banks have taken nearly $5 trillion in taxpayer bailouts and backstops. The bailout funds were supposed to get money flowing to Main Street again, but instead the banks have used them to pay out billions in bonuses and return to the same excessive risk-taking that caused the crisis in the first plac...e.

Wall Street needs to hear us loud and clear. They crashed our economy. We bailed them out. They took care of themselves. Now it's time for them to fix what they broke - it's time for them to invest in our communities.

Folks, whenever you see or hear a statement that tells you of a terrible wrong and calls you to action, PLEASE RESEARCH IT FIRST BEFORE TAKING ACTION!!! I'm not saying the above statement isn't true, but I do find it hard to believe that billions of tax dollars went to bonuses alone. I understood the government highly taxed any bonuses that came ...

I could be wrong, but you should research it first to find out for yourself before taking any action!
