Pass health reform now #hcr #p2 #politics

February 7, 2010 By Egberto Willies

Sorry, there was a YouTube error.

Just received from OFA. Right now the uninformed Tea Party crowd is raising a lot of noise about not wanting healthcare reform. Their media attention is far from consummate to their numbers. One of the reasons this is the case is that many progressives tend to be timid about admitting to their progressiveness. When asked people individually what they want it is clearly closer to progressives than to Conservative yet many are hesitant to call themselves liberals. Let yourselves be heard lest we lose our country to those who do not understand their own positions and ultimately lose a prosperous country.

Egberto —
An alarming new study shows that health care costs increased last year at the fastest rate in more than a half century.
Health care spending rose to an estimated $2.5 trillion in 2009, or $8,047 per person — and is now projected to nearly double by 2019. If we don’t act, this growing burden will mean more lost jobs, more families pushed into bankruptcy, and more crushing debt for our nation.
The conclusion is clear: This isn’t a problem we can kick down the road for another decade — or even another year. We need to pass health reform now.
We’re incredibly close. But too many in Washington are now saying that we should delay or give up on reform entirely. So we need to make it crystal clear that Americans understand the stakes for our economy and our lives, and that we want action.
Can you write a letter to the editor of your local paper right now?
In just five minutes of your time, you can tell thousands of readers about this new report on spiraling costs, and why abandoning reform is just not an option.
You can also help by posting this note on Facebook, letting your friends know about the new costs study and asking them to join you in writing a letter to a local paper.
President Obama and many allies in Congress are working hard to finish the job — but we can’t rest until it’s done. Your note will help break through the Washington spin and show members of Congress and the media what local voters really believe. Click here to get started:

It’s clear that we’re in the fight of our lives to pass real reform. But after a century of trying, the finish line is finally in sight. As President Obama reminded us all in his State of the Union address, we’re fighting for our families and our country — and we don’t quit.
Thanks for making it possible,
Mitch
