Now that Tom Daschle has withdrawn his nomination as Secretary for Health and Human Services, Howard Dean is the best man for the job.
Yesterday, everyone was talking about Tom Daschle withdrawing from consideration for the position. That means today is our first chance to start telling people about why Gov. Dean is an excellent choice. Conventional wisdom sets in pretty quickly in DC so we only have a small window to get the ball rolling.
Right now, all of us need to make two phone calls:
1: Call the White House Comment Line at *** 202-456-1111 *** and ask President Obama to appoint Gov. Howard Dean MD as Secretary of Health and Human Services
2: Then, call Sen. Max Baucus of Montana *** 202-224-2651*** – he chairs the Senate Finance Committee that needs to approve of the nominee. Ask him to publicly come out in support of Gov. Howard Dean MD as Secretary of Health and Human Services.
That’s it. Just take 2 minutes to make these two phone calls right now. Then, join the Facebook group and post on the wall about how your call went. If you don't have a Facebook account, it is very easy and quick to set one up.
Thanks, and remember, in the words of Gov. Dean, You have the power!
If you write on any blogs, please write a post today about why you support Gov. Dean for HHS. The more buzz we can build early, the better his chances. Put a link up in the FB group as well so we can all check out your post.
