| National Actions: |
Health:
Don't let them defund your health benefits!
After dozens of failed votes to repeal Obamacare, opponents in Congress are trying to defund it, starting with billions to be paid in by the lucrative medical device industry. Don't let them gut the funding for the ACA!
Publish your prices!
Tell hospitals to post their prices so we can all find the best service for the most competitive price.
Money:
Now's not the time to raise student loan rates!
Americans now owe $1 trillion in loans for their college educations -- more than what we all owe on credit cards. Students and their families are taking out loans in record numbers because the cost of college has skyrocketed...
Get your FREE credit score!
We cleared the first hurdle by getting a bill introduced this week in the Senate to give consumers their credit scores for FREE. Now, we have to get it passed.
Food:
What are they trying to hide?
The overwhelming majority of Americans want to know if your food is genetically engineered. Some 64 countries -- including China, Australia and the entire European Union already require GE foods be labeled.
Save our antibiotics for when we need them!
A new Consumer Reports investigation found that meat from conventionally raised turkeys had bacteria resistant to more drugs than birds raised without antibiotics. It's time to save our antibiotics, and stop feeding drugs to our food animals!
Media & Telecommunications:
Other:
Stand up against Big Oil!
If we can dramatically reduce air pollution and help the environment for an extra penny per gallon of gas, wouldn't it be worth it?

Success Stories:
 Kim Witczak and Eric Swan have met with Governor Pawlenty and Rep. Jim Ramstad of Minnesota, who became a joint co-sponsor of drug safety legislation in the House. As our online activists put in the call for drug safety legislation in Minnesota, Kim and Eric will be there to reinforce the message with their personal testimony and dedication.
 Dick Lambert of Roseville, MN contacted the Financial Privacy Now (FPN) campaign to further educate and encourage members in his community to become aware of issues outside Roseville. Aside from contacting a local AARP and legislators, Dick posted information on the Minnesota security freeze bill on the Roseville Citizens League webpage to get out the word and generate more support on the bill. His web and political savviness helped to invigorate what started off as a bill with limited protections to one of the best security freeze laws in the nation!
