New Health Care Video and Petition from the AFL-CIO

** Working Families **



"You can play by the rules. Or you can follow insurance company rules where you can do whatever the hell you want." That's the message of a new video from Health Care for America NOW, a strong new coalition that includes the AFL-CIO.

"Insurance companies rewrite the rules as they go along to win every time. Why shouldn't you?"

Really, none of us should have to play by insurance company rules in a system that costs too much, covers too little and excludes too many.

We have a choice. Please sign the petition now to help win secure, high-quality health care for all.

As the first on the scene during local and national emergencies, public safety officers deserve the right to speak out and be heard at work.

Still, tens of thousands of our nation’s firefighters and police officers on the front lines of homeland security are unfairly denied this basic protection.

S. 2123 would ensure all public safety officers have the opportunity to meet with local officials to discuss their jobs and how best to protect the public.

Please click here to tell your U.S. senators to support the Public Safety Employer-Employee Cooperation Act (S. 2123).

** Campaign Money Watch **
As you might have heard, over the weekend two of John McCain's lobbyist supporters resigned from his campaign almost immediately after news came to light that they had lobbied for the brutal military junta in Myanmar.

We're glad to see them go. But it's not enough. McCain still has plenty of other lobbyists — 112 by our count — working on his behalf, ones with ties to unsavory dictators and polluters of the environment.

It's time to send McCain a message: Fire the lobbyists. Add your name to our petition to tell the senator it's time to give these people the boot.
