It's that time... excruciating pain, exhaustion, breathe and PUSH!!!! Yes, it's up to us again. We've got to push Congress to give birth to healthcare reform!

Stalling on a vote in Congress is the key strategy of the opponents of healthcare reform.[1] Keep the momentum going forward. Tell your Representatives in the U.S. House not to go home for August vacation before they vote on healthcare reform!

Nothing short of the economic security of our families is at stake. With the healthcare reform that's on the table now:

* You won't be denied coverage or be charged higher rates because you have a preexisting condition
* You will always have options for coverage, even if you change or lose a job
* If you like your health plan, you can keep it
* If you can't afford insurance, you'll get help with your premiums
* And you won't be charged more than men for the same insurance just because you are a woman

Sound like a recipe for future economic security? You bet! Don't let healthcare reform slip through our fingers. The opposition to healthcare reform is much more vocal than supporters right now. Make sure your voice is heard. Forward this message on to friends and family and send a letter to your U.S. Representatives today in support of healthcare reform!

Thanks for your work on behalf our our nation's families!
