A summer blockbuster about... health care?
Michael Moore's new movie, Sicko, could put health care at the top of the nation's political agenda — and we can help. If opening week is a success, lots more people will go see Sicko. It's a great movie — poignant at times, funny at others.

When Bush threatened to cut off as many 14 million seniors from the prescription drug benefit because they had not signed up in time, MoveOn helped fight back. We mobilized hundreds of thousands of Americans to sign petitions, organize local media events, and contact our representatives.
The Republican budget proposal for FY'07 contained cuts that would take food of the table of 300,000 working families dependent on food stamps, and roll back health benefits for millions of low income people and seniors. MoveOn members sounded the alarm, writing thousands of letters to the editor telling personal stories about these key programs, staging local events and calling our representatives. The worst of the cuts were removed from the final budget package.
MoveOn members raised a chorus of opposition when Bush nominated long time UN-basher and war apologist John Bolton as America's ambassador to the United Nations. Congress refused to approve the nomination, and Bush resorted to a "recess appointment" to side step Congress. But when the appointment expired, Bush withdrew the nomination and Bolton was forced to step down.
When MoveOn members got word that southern Republicans were attempting to derail the re-authorization of the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965, we sprung into action. After hundreds of thousands signed a petition we rushed to Congress and flooded the capital with phone calls the law was renewed.

On March 23, MoveOn members gathered in over 100 key congressional districts to hand deliver constituent letters.
The debate over the war in Iraq is at a tipping point. National polls say that Americans want an exit strategy. Members of Congress are trying to guage whether their own constituents feel the same way. If you, like most Americans, want a plan to bring the troops home, then tell your representatives today.

MoveOn PAC is a proud member of this new coalition which brings together groups like the AFL-CIO, the Campaign for America's Future, AFSCME and USAction. Together, we're matching every move made by the Republicans—sending organizers to cities Bush visits days before he arrives, highlighting local community members who are opposed to gutting Social Security, and running ads which expose what the Republican plan for Social Security would really do.
Fight the Right and Elect Progressives
Turning our country around will take more than phone calls and emails. That's why we've launched Operation Democracy, a national network of neighborhood teams to take our progressive message to every town in the country. We work on critical issues like Supreme Court nominees, Social Security and the war in Iraq. And as the 2006 elections draw closer, we'll reach out to our neighbors to craft a positive agenda and start to focus on winning back Congress.
