Why We Work With The Alliance
“After 37 years as a Registered Nurse, it is constantly disturbing to me to be represented in Congress by someone who is not only opposed to extending health coverage to more Americans, but determined to take it away from many who already have it. We live in a district where thousands of good, hardworking people cannot get health coverage on their own and we owe it to our community to do better for those people, not just for an elite few. I want to elect someone who will work for real solutions, not simplistic soundbites. ”
“It’s important for everyone to have a voice in our democracy and we’ve lost it. We’re being governed by individuals in DC who do not hear us, the people and it is so frustrating! And, our congressman is definitely one of those ignoring our concerns. What can we do? We can work together to make changes in our representatives – locally, statewide, and nationally. In rural northern California, this means working across a huge geographic area. The CD1 Alliance effectively brings us together to make the critical change we need – a new voice in DC. It’s a great group!”
