>HR1322 Needs Publicity - You Can Help
>
>The Emergency Retiree Health Benefits Protection Act (HR1322), which 
>protects retirees from reductions and cancellations of 
>company-provided healthcare benefits, needs some publicity.
>
>A member suggested that we try to get the bill's Sponsor, 
>Congressman John Tierney, on C-Span's Washington Journal with Bill 
>Moyers.  We think it is a great idea and so does Congressman 
>Tierney.  Here is what we want you to do:
>
>Call C-Span's main number (202) 737-3220 and tell them that you have 
>a great suggestion for a Washington Journal show.  When you are 
>connected to the correct party, tell then that you want to see 
>Congressman Tierney on Bill Moyer's Washington Journal to talk about 
>HR1322 the Emergency Retiree Health Benefits Protection Act.
>
>It will only take a few minutes but if we can get thousands of calls 
>through to them, I am sure that it will work. The publicity will 
>give the bill a shot in the arm at a time that it could use it.  Can 
>we count on you?
>
>Stay tuned and I will tell you what you should do about the 
>disasterous turn of events regarding the Medicare amendment calling 
>for a prescription plan that could cause you to lose your 
>company-provided prescription drug coverage.
