The Monarch Butterfly is one of the most iconic species in North America. Each year, these remarkable creatures migrate from Canada and across the U.S. to gather by the thousands in overwintering forests of central Mexico and coastal California. However, Monarch numbers in North America continue to decline. We have the opportunity to protect these dear pollinators.

On Wednesday, May 7th, requests will be sent out by Representatives Michele Grim and Tristan Rader, to all Ohio House representatives asking them to co-sponsor 'The Ohio Healthcare Plan', the bill which would establish a universal, publicly funded healthcare finance system in Ohio.
Please call your Ohio representative and ask him/her to co-sponsor and support the bill.
Don't know who your Ohio rep is?
Go to 'Find My State Legislators', then it will ask for your address to find your rep. and his/her phone number.
Here's what to say:
I am ______, your constituent in ______County.
Ohioans have suffered from lack of access to good health care for too long. We have worse health outcomes than most other states.
This is due to being uninsured or having insurance that has such high deductibles that we hesitate too long before seeking care.
It's time you realize that a large majority of Ohioans favor a universal system of healthcare financing.
I ask that you co-sponsor and implement 'The Ohio Health Care Plan'.
