| For those of you who are not on the HealthCare4Every1 campaign mailing list, I wanted to pass along this message and call to action that the campaign's manager, Lynne Ide, sent out early last week:
Dear MLNer,
As you know, SustiNet has passed the House (107-35) and Senate (23-12), and will now head to the Governor's desk. It is likely to take some time for the bill to be transmitted to Gov. Rell's desk.
In the meantime, I want you to know that we will be in close, ongoing communication with Gov. Rell and her top aides. Given the high stakes involved for Connecticut's families and businesses, we trust that her administration will review SustiNet on the basis of it's merits and policy -- and NOT make a decision based on politics.
But right now, we need to celebrate our victories in the House and Senate, and thank our legislators for voting YES on SustiNet! We ask a lot of our legislators, so it is important that we take time to show our appreciation!
> Please take a moment to thank your legislators
Lastly, I want to personally thank all of you for your hard work on this Campaign. We would not be where we are today without all of your phone calls, emails, and meetings.
Sincerely,
Lynne Ide Campaign Manager
healthcare4every1 Campaign
The legislators who voted to give quality, affordable, health care to every person in Connecticut should hear how much we appreciate that act.
If your State Representative and/or State Senator voted in favor of the SustiNet bill, let 'em know they did the right thing.
