Host A Community Meeting

Never in the history of American Health Care have we the people had such a wonderful opportunity to participate in and shape health care reform.  Between December 15th and the31st, Senator Tom Daschle, the soon to be Secretary to be of Health and Human Services, has invited people to hold their own community discussions on health care. 

CodeBlueNow!’s mission has always been to engage the public in reform.  Now the Obama Administration wants to hear from you. We urge each of you to host a community forum.  It’s easy.  Just click here and sign up. 


We have all been working on health care reform for the past five years.  Now is the time to really make a difference and host a meeting. The Transition Team will provide you with a moderator’s guide, so you won’t have to worry about leading a discussion if you are new to this.

There is no one perfect solution to our health care mess, that’s why it’s essential you participate. I don’t remember any other Administration reaching out to the public BEFORE they introduced legislation.  If you want your voice to be heard, now is the time to speak up!

Please let us know if you will be hosting an event.  I am hosting one on December 29th from 4 to 6 pm.  If you are in Seattle and want to come by let me know.  Space is limited so RSVP soon. 

Another reason to sign up is that Senator Daschle will be attending one or more of these meetings. 

It’s time your voice was heard.  Host a meeting or attend one! 

Cheers and more later.  Kathleen
