What You Can Do to Reform Health Care
We Will Be Launching House Parties to Put the Heat on Congress.
Discuss ideas, write letters and make phone calls to our senators and representatives, and figure out our own personal roles in this upcoming Debate.
We will be hearing from Dan Grandone, Wisconsin administrator with Organizing for America, which will be spearheading the White House's efforts in passing the health care reform this country needs. Changes are on the way. This summer it's now or never.

The City of Milwaukee Water is Works is a well-managed, efficient public utility. As a result, water rates are relatively low and the water is high quality.
Some City of Milwaukee leaders have proposed privatizing the system through a long term lease in a desperate effort to generate revenue. Privatization has been tried in other cities and led to: soaring water rates; declining investment in water system infrastructure; political corruption; and a lack of accountability.
You can help stop this by:
1) Signing the petition at http://www.thepetitionsite.com
2) Come to the Milwaukee City Hall (200 E Wells St) Monday, June 15th, at 12:30 p.m. to attend a rally, then the Steering and Rules Committee Meeting at 1:30 p.m. Let the aldermen know that we do not support privatizing Milwaukee's water.
