Call In to Talk Radio: Use “On the Air” to Voice Your Support for Reform
At Thursday's bipartisan meeting, members of Congress laid out their opinions on reform, and the President made it clear that Congress needs to put aside its divides and move forward to pass a final bill.
Now, OFA has come up with a way for folks to voice their support for health reform and the President’s call for progress -- by calling in to talk radio shows across the country. OFA’s “On the Air” tool makes it easy to connect with radio stations and get the pro-health insurance reform message out, right while reform remains a topic of debate after Thursday’s meeting.

Read some of the news about OFA's new talk radio tool:
The Democratic National Committee's Organizing for America has quietly launched an initiative aimed at making Obama supporters' voices heard on the largely conservative airwaves...
The online tool presents users with a radio show discussing political topics, to which supporters can listen live, and the phone number for that station, for when health care comes up. It also offers tips for callers and talking points on the issue.
Conservative dominance of the airwaves is taken as an article of faith, but Organizing for America is rolling out a new project that intends to equip progressives with the tools to get their voices heard on talk radio. They're calling it "On the Air."
The way is works is that supporters are prompted with the call-in number for a talk radio show that discusses political topics and the option to to listen to the show live. When the timing's right, the volunteer can call the number provided. Importantly, OFA's troops are asked to report back on whether they got on air, and how the call went.
