West Yolo Democratic Club
Is cooperating with Yolo United
To Work for Health Care Reform

Feinstein--One Post Street, suite 2450, San Francisco CA 94104 Phone 415-393-0707.

* Please write or call to our congressman Mike Thompson to thank him for his support for health care reform with a public option (see attachment from his office):
Thompson--1040 Main Street, Suite 101, Napa, CA 94559: Phone: (707) 226-9898

* We are gearing up with Yolo United to initiate phone calls and letters to constituents of  Democratic Senators and key congressmen who are not supporting key elements of the plan, including a public option.  Stand by - we will ask for your help as soon as we have the right places to contact.

* If you wish to receive regular information directly from Yolo United by email contact:

It rips off any mainstream façade these groups have carefully created.
