Doctors for Obama Phonebanking

The need for healthcare reform is a central issue in this election. The Obama campaign has identified undecided voters in the battleground states who are concerned about healthcare. As a doctor, you are the person best suited to talk to these voters about the Obama Health Plan and why it is the better choice for them. You can reach out directly and share your professional and personal expertise by calling these voters through my.BarackObama.com.
