Subject: The public option is not optional.
CSEA Sisters and Brothers, The following does not come directly from CSEA,
however CSEA is in support of health care reform and a public health care
option. If we don't make a stand now for a public option, the Obama
administration may hedge on its plan for health care reform. This weekend, the
Obama administration indicated that it might be open to passing health care
reform without any provision for a public insurance option similar to Medicare
that could compete with private insurance companies. President Obama said that a
public option was just a "sliver" of his plan. Secretary of Health and Human
Services Kathleen Sebelius went so far as to say that the public option was not
an "essential" part of reform. The comments this weekend by the president and
Secretary Sebelius rhetorically pave the way for the Obama administration to
cave on a meaningful public option and instead accept toothless regional health
care co-ops that would be unable to compete with insurance companies and keep
them honest. I just signed a petition to tell President Obama that the public
option is not optional and that he should tell Congress and the voters that he
will not sign a bill without a robust public option similar to Medicare. I hope
you will sign this petition too. Please have a look and take action.

Subject: FW: Support Our Schools - Call the Governor
Show Your Support For Our
Schools
CALL THE GOVERNOR’S OFFICE ON MONDAY, JULY 13
On Monday, July 13, public school buses from throughout the state will
converge on the State Capitol in Sacramento. School bus drivers will circle the
Capitol to protest state budget cuts that would put kids in danger.
SAVE OUR SCHOOL BUSES — AND OUR SCHOOL BUDGETS!
While many CSEA members will be in Sacramento, members who cannot attend
will show our solidarity by calling the governor’s office on Monday morning.
Join hundreds of thousands of members up and down the state to tell the governor
that our schools and colleges have already been cut enough!
MONDAY, JULY 13 * 11AM – NOON
CALL THE GOVERNOR’S OFFICE: (916) 445-2841
(follow the language prompts & press 6)
CSEA is vigorously fighting against the cuts being contemplated by the
governor and state legislators. The governor is proposing to cut state funding
for school transportation by 65 percent, while state legislators are considering
a 20 percent cut. CSEA’s school bus drivers know their transportation
departments cannot absorb these cuts without devastating consequences.
As if the devastation already done to our schools wasn’t bad enough, this is
one more example of how the governor’s budget will gut public education. Our
schools have already been cut by $11.6 billion. Now the governor wants to
suspend Prop. 98 so he can make even deeper cuts to education.
CSEA opposes reductions in school transportation, the suspension of Prop. 98
or any additional cuts to education. Our students deserve better!
JOIN THOUSANDS OF SCHOOL BOOSTERS ON MONDAY
Let’s show that we are united in our effort to support our schools. Please pass
the word on to your co-workers, and join hundreds of thousands of CSEA members
on Monday to show that you are a part of our united effort to stop this
outrageous attack on public education and our co-workers in transportation!
CALL THE GOVERNOR’S OFFICE: (916) 445-2841
(follow the language prompts & press 6)
Tell the governor you:
* Oppose devastating cuts to school transportation.
* Oppose suspension of Prop. 98 or any other cuts to education.
Now is the time to speak up!
