Hello, my name is __________ and I’m a constituent calling from __________ (city or town).

I’m calling today because I wanted to let you know that I strongly support President Obama’s 3 principles for real health care reform. Congress must pass a plan that reduces health care costs, ensures quality care for every American, and guarantees choice – including a robust public insurance option.

Also, I think it’s critical to get this done in 2009; it’s just too urgent to wait any longer.

Does (Rep./Sen.) _________ support these 3 principles?

Thank you!
