David Long (R-Fort Wayne) urges those who oppose or support national health care reforms to voice their opinions now to Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n<p>Long said many area constituents have contacted his office at the Indiana Statehouse in an effort to pass along their views to U.S. Sens. Dick Lugar and Evan Bayh as well as to U.S. Rep. Mark Souder.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past few months, I&#8217;ve received more e-mails, phone calls and letters about the federal health care package than any state issue.
