If my kids wanted to quit something after their first setback, I'd say, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." So what's with Congress? One unexpected election result in Massachusetts, a state that already has universal healthcare, is all it takes for some in Congress to throw up their hands and say we can't get this done? I don't think so. The moms and dads of America are not taking any excuses when the security of our families' healthcare is at risk.

This week your Congressional representatives will be making critical decisions about whether or not to push forward with comprehensive healthcare reform. With many in Congress nervous about losing their jobs, constituent input has never had more influence. Tell Congress: Get back to work and figure out how to pass comprehensive health reform.

This week is critical to make sure that Congress knows that we won't take, "Ooh, this is too hard" for an answer.

We all knew the fight for healthcare was going to be hard when we started. Seven presidents have tried and failed to pass healthcare reform. We can't wait any longer. Let's make sure that our children are not suffering with health costs that continually decreases earning power and with health insurance that evaporates just when you get sick. If we want a brighter future for our children, we need to act right now!

Tell Congress to act now to finish the job of getting comprehensive healthcare reform done.

And please pass along this message to your friends and family by forwarding this email now. The need for affordable and secure healthcare cuts across party lines. Together we are powerful.

Thank you for your work to pass healthcare reform! Your children will thank you too!
