"What I want from this meeting is for Congress to do their job, and fix the healthcare system."
We start making DAILY calls to both our Senators and White House to make sure that they are hearing from their pro-immigrant constituency. Just like we take time each day to drink our coffee, everyone around the table pledged to take 3 minutes of their day to make 3 phone calls. In addition, each person will get 8-10 other people to make the same pledge so that at least 100 phone calls are being made each day.
