Health Care Should Be a RIGHT, Not a Privilege!   It is Covering the Uninsured Week and you can do something no one else in the United States can do - secure every Massachusetts resident access to affordable and comprehensive coverage for health and mental health care.   Please call your state senator and state representative and ask them to make sure the Health Care Constitutional Amendment comes up for a vote on May 10th and to make their vote "YES".  By taking 5 minutes to make those calls you'll be acting on what all of us believe – that Health Care should be a RIGHT for every Massachusetts resident.  Please call right now. Ask your legislators to bring the Health Care Amendment up for a vote on May 10th so you'll get a chance to vote on it this November.  Not sure who your legislators are?

WE STILL NEED VOLUNTEERS – The Health Care Constitutional Amendment Campaign is in the last stretch before going to the ballot in November.  We have thousands of postcards to sort, process and enter into a database and we need your person power to do it!  Join us TONIGHT, Tuesday (5/2), and Wednesday (5/3) and Thursday (5/4) of this week from 6:00-8:00pm at the Amendment headquarters, located at 649 Mass. Ave, Suite 8 in Central Square, Cambridge. Next Monday and Tuesday evenings (May 8 & 9) will also be major volunteer nights! Please come out and help! For more information, contact AFlores@massjwj.net or mcarr@healthcareformass.org.   VERY IMPORTANT! If you collected postcards over the past month in support of the Health Care Constitutional Amendment, PLEASE RETURN THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!  We distributed over 20,000 postcards and have only gotten back about half that number.  In order for the postcards to have any impact, they need to be delivered.  And before they can be delivered, we have to process and sort them.  Please do your best to drop them off at 649 Mass. Ave, Suite 8 in Central Square, Cambridge 02139.  If you absolutely cannot drop them off, overnight mail them immediately to the Cambridge address.  We can also arrange for a pickup, but the first two options are best.  Call Michael Carr at 617-868-1280 if you have any questions.
