Dear Editor,

Today, Tues. 9/18
1-877-978-9996


Today is National Call in Day to Speaker Pelosi.

Congress has precious little time to finally pass the Paul Wellstone Mental Health and Addiction Equity Act (HR 1424) and effectively end discrimination in insurance coverage against people with mental illness and addiction.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi has the power to bring the Wellstone Bill to the House floor for a vote. Our allies on the Hill tell us the best strategy to pass parity legislation is to demonstrate to the Speaker that Americans cannot wait for equitable mental healthcare. Call today and tell Speaker Pelosi not to let another year go by without passing the Wellstone Bill.

**Dial 1-877-978-9996 and deliver the following message to Speaker Pelosi:

Parity in insurance coverage for mental illness and addiction is a priority for me and 30 million other Americans
Please schedule a vote on the Wellstone Bill (HR 1424) by mid-October


The call-in number is toll free and there will be an operator standing by to assist you. Phone lines are open 9am - 6pm EST.

Let us know you called! Email us at info@wellstone.org so we can tally up the calls.



Thank you for your commitment,
Wellstone Action!
