Friend—
A few days ago, President Obama told a story about an OFA supporter in St. Louis who had volunteered during the campaign and organized her community for health reform, but recently succumbed to breast cancer.
She didn’t have quality insurance, so she put off crucial exams and didn’t catch it early enough. And while she fought cancer, she also spent her final months fighting for a chance at health reform so others wouldn’t go through the same thing.
The President told this story to remind Congress, the nation, and us: We can’t tell her family we’re giving up on reform because it’s too hard, or too risky.
Congress is weighing options and hearing plenty of special interest voices telling them to give up. They need to understand that their constituents want them to keep fighting. So today, we’re relaunching our Health Care Action Center to give you all the tools and information you need to fight for reform.
At the Action Center, you can make calls, write letters, speak out in your community, and weigh in directly with Congress. There’s information about what the President stands for, and personal stories that show why reform is so important.
So check it out today:
Many of our senators and representatives are working overtime to gather support for a final bill and pass reform, and they should know we’re standing with them. And the rest need to understand their constituents still demand action.
We’re so close to real reform—we can’t stop now.
Thanks for making it possible,
Mitch
