We are about to embark on some dramatic changes across the board in America. Change is inevitable, but the direction of that change remains to be seen. We wrote last time that in a democracy, silence equals agreement. It's time to put ourselves to the test. We're promoting two important Actions. The second Action will shortly, and will be directed specifically to the FDA on a specific, urgent topic. This second Action will test our effectiveness. But first, we need to test the strength of our voice.
Step One: Letter to the White House Office of Health Reform
The new administration in Washington D.C. is moving fast. We're seeing strategies never used before on a national level. This presents a huge challenge and an equally big opportunity. We need to get our message about natural health in front of everyone we can possibly reach. So our first Action is to send a letter to Washington, D.C.
Who?
Senator Tom Daschle isn't just the nominee for Secretary of Health and Human Services. He will also become the Director of the newly formed White House Office of Health Reform. His Deputy Director will be Jeanne Lambrew, with whom Daschle co-authored the book Critical, published earlier this year. Both Daschle and Ms. Lambrew are part of The Center for American Progress (CAP), whose Founder and Executive Director is John Podesta - the head of Obama's transition team. We look to reach Sen. Daschle and Ms. Lambrew directly at CAP.
Why?
We've identified 2009 as the Year of Change and Challenge. We've made a case for why natural health needs to be at the fundamental core of health care reform. We'll add one more piece to the puzzle here. The Obama Administration's identification of challenges and possible solutions is void of natural health principles. Their effort is admirable, but their strategy incomplete.
How?
We're calling for a direct mail and email. Notwithstanding the ease of sending an email, most social activists agree that a direct mailing has more impact. To be sure, it won't hurt to email the Obama Transition Team. If you do, make sure to use the words "natural" and "natural health" frequently and positively in your email. The Transition Team is using computers to track the frequency of words & topics within the emails they receive.
Please use this form letter if you wish.
Step Two to follow shortly.
