January 15 is National
RN Call-In Day for
Healthcare Justice
Let's make our
demands ring, ring,
ring on the phones of
our representatives!
This Jan. 15, in honor of
Dr. King's birthday, nurses
across the country are calling
their Congressional representatives to demand healthcare
justice for every American. We are
the real healthcare experts,
and President-elect Obama needs to hear
from America's nurses as he plans his
healthcare reform proposals.
The only way we can achieve the healthcare justice Dr. King envisioned is with a guaranteed
healthcare system—such as the expanded and improved "Medicare for All" plan offered
by Rep. John Conyers through the bill HR 676. Rep. Conyers has the honor of being the only
candidate for Congress ever endorsed by Dr. King. We're confident his plan is the only one
that can overcome the healthcare inequality we witness each day.
Please join us by making calls to your federal representatives.
Call the Capitol switchboard at(202) 224-3121 or check the CNA/NNOC website at
calnurses.org or nnoc.net if you need information on how to reach your lawmakers.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
once said that "of all the
forms of inequality, injustice
in healthcare is the most
shocking and inhumane."
