Rapid Responders Needed, Apply Within! Now! Hurry! Move Your Booties!

Gentle readers within this American Chronicle, the following is a special invitation from Jeremy Bird, the deputy director of O.F.A.
Joseph --
As a dedicated OFA supporter, I want to invite you to a special meeting to learn about our new Rapid Response program.
Across the country, Rapid Response teams of active volunteers will develop a plan to organize their areas -- and then execute it in the crucial hours before votes in the House or Senate, right when swing members of Congress are making up their mind.
If we pull it off, the voices of the American people will be louder than special interest lobbyists as we approach the finish line. But to do it, we need our best people involved.
Interested in joining a Rapid Response team -- or just want to learn more? Click here to RSVP for an informational kickoff meeting near you to connect with local staff in your state.
Despite months of intense lobbying and grassroots pressure, many representatives in the House didn't decide how to vote on reform until there were mere hours left.
Passing health reform through the House was a major victory -- but we still have a long way to go. The Senate needs to pass its version of the bill, the two bills must be merged, and the final bill will need a last vote in both houses of Congress.
In the days before each vote, insurance company lobbyists will swing into action with last-ditch attempts to block reform. It's essential that members of Congress hear from their constituents right when it matters most.
Each Rapid Response team will develop a plan for last-minute advocacy -- organizing friends and neighbors to speak forcefully as one and make it clear that Congress must support reform.
At this first meeting, you'll connect with staff in your state, learn more about Rapid Response, and start developing a plan for your area. RSVP today:
