President's Speech Could be a Game Changer

President Obama appealed to the better nature of the American people and of his opponents in Congress tonight to put aside politics and work on behalf of the millions who have no health insurance, the tens of thousands who are denied proper care because they haven't "enough" insurance, and the tens of thousands who are cut off from care because of previous conditions. You can listen to the President's inspiring message by going to http://www.whitehouse.gov/ The speech and a discussion of the issues are featured. Then get on the phone, send an email and call your friends and families around the nation .... tell them to put pressure on their members of Congress to pass genuine health care reform this year!
