| National Actions: |
Health:
Is your hospital on the checklist?
Ask state legislators to urge hospitals in their district to join the Pronovost checklist campaign to end blood stream infections in the ICU.
Money:
No charging until they change their ways!
Tell the credit card banks' top brass exactly what you think of the most recent round of rate increases, fees and new charges. Treating their best customers this way is hardly a sustainable business model in a fragile economy. Tell them what you think!
Food:
Do we need a national disaster?
It took a disastrous oil spill to focus government attention on the safety problems in off shore drilling. We shouldn't have to suffer another wave of food borne illness to finally pass food safety reforms. Tell your Senator to vote the bill out!
Media & Telecommunications:
Say "NO!" to Comcast/NBC merger
Pay more for less--on TV and online. That's the likely outcome if Comcast is allowed to take over NBC-Universal. The long drawn battle between Comcast and the NFL may be just a taste of what's to come. Tell the FCC to just say NO!
Free your Phone!
If you own a cell phone or wireless device, you're being held hostage by the giant telecom companies.
Other:
We can do better!
Three months of oil gushing into our Gulf, and still no comprehensive energy plan. And now some Senators want to leave Washington without taking up a bill!

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!
