Very soon the U.S. House of Representatives will vote on health care reform. We urge all Jackson County Democrats to phone our Congressman Greg Walden and let him know that we support passage of the health care reform legislation. You can call his Washington, DC, office at (202)225-6730 or his Medford office at (541) 858-5122. Call today and leave a message or early Monday and speak to one of his aides.
