Let NTU deliver YOUR video message on health care to Congress!
NTU
is launching a new effort where we're asking YOU to send us a short video
with a message to your Members of Congress about why big government is
not the solution to our health care woes. We will then burn each
and every one of those videos to DVD and personally deliver them to your
Members of Congress. For the most compelling messages, we'll
even schedule meetings with Congressional staff to show the video and discuss
the issue. We hope that this project will allow a citizen's voice
to be heard in a way that emails and faxes could never approximate.
So
take a few minutes and record your message to Congress! Tell them
why you think that higher taxes and bigger government are NOT prescriptions
for our health care ailments.
Here are the guidelines…
Respond
directly to our video on YouTube
here.
When you do that, please also send a message through YouTube to natltaxpayersunion
that
includes your contact information (email or phone). If you'd
prefer not to use YouTube, you may email
your submission (with your contact information) to ntu@ntu.org with
a subject line: Health care video.
Make
your video passionate, but respectful. Shoot for about two minutes
in length. And we don't need Hollywood production values, just
your hometown values from the heart.
Please
be sure to give your name, home town, and information about who your
Representative in the House and two Senators are.
Please
submit your video by Friday, October 9th. That
will allow us time to deliver your video message during the heart
of the health care debate on Capitol Hill.
Keep
in mind that we will not deliver videos from trolls, or those containing messages
that are vulgar, offensive, or irrelevant to the cause.
Disclaimer:
by submitting a video on YouTube or through email, you are
agreeing to allow the National Taxpayers Union (NTU) to show the video
publicly (including
on our website/blog and other locations on the internet),
to make physical copies of it for distribution, as well as to use it for
public education
and lobbying purposes. In addition, videos submitted
contain the thoughts and opinions of one individual and do
not necessarily reflect
the views of NTU or its members.
As you may know, NTU
recently pitched in with organizing the massive 9/12
March on Washington. Hundreds
of thousands of Americans showed up to express their frustration
with the direction of our government. At the rally, we
interviewed dozens of attendees and asked them what their short
message to their representatives
in Congress would be. We're now in the process of burning
and delivering those messages to Congressional offices, but
as many people as attended
the rally, we know there were hundreds of thousands of you
who couldn't come for one reason or another. We'd now
like to give all of you an opportunity to have your voice heard
in the same way as some who attended
the march. We look forward to seeing your submissions!
