Your Voice is Needed: Key Vote Tomorrow
on Health Care Reform!
Two
weeks ago, the House health care reform
bill, H.R. 3200, was passed by two of the
three responsible committees. After much
discussion and debate, the third committee,
Energy and Commerce, is poised to mark up
the bill today and vote tomorrow before the
House adjourns for August recess. The
support of the Energy and Commerce Committee
tomorrow is critical to the success of
health care reform, and Members of Congress
must hear from their constituents now.
Take Action: In emails, faxes, and phone
calls,
urge your Member of Congress to support
health care reform legislation to ensure
that medical resources are available at an
affordable cost to those who need them.

Muslim-Jewish Dialogue Everywhere
Yesterday, he White House Office of
Public Engagement invited young interns and
staffers of Arab-American, Jewish-American,
and Muslim-American organizations to meet
with Administration officials, including top
advisors such as Valerie Jarrett. You can
echo this effort in your hometown by working
to establish Muslim-Jewish dialogue at your
synagogue. The Union for Reform Judaism is
partnering with the Islamic Society of North
America to pair synagogues and mosques for
interfaith study, dialogue, and service,
using our jointly-written dialogue
curriculum Children of Abraham: Jews and
Muslims in Conversation. Excerpts
are available at
rac.org/muslimdialogue. For more
information about how you can become
involved, or to request the dialogue guide,
please contact
Jeff Oakley,
Legislative Assistant for the Commission on
Interreligious Affairs of Reform Judaism, at
202.387.2800.
