You did it. We did it. Real health care reform for America!
This bill is far from perfect. But as Vice President Joe Biden said, it's a "big f***ing deal."
And MoveOn members played a crucial role in making it happen.
We put together a summary of what MoveOn members did to pass health care over the last 15 months. And it's amazing.
Check it out:
-
2,000 rallies and vigils attended by 150,000 people
(see a great highlights video here)
-
Hundreds of face-to-face meetings with members of Congress
- 7,813,682 petition signatures, 595,522 phone calls, and 948,705 faxes
-
150 MoveOn Councils running powerful local campaigns in 44 states
-
50,000 small-business leaders, doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals supporting reform
-
1,124,457 (!!!) messages in one day during the Virtual March for Real Health Care Reform
-
$9.4 million raised for our campaign, and $5.6 million more pledged to support progressive primary challengers
- Dozens of ads featuring Heather Graham, REM, and MoveOn members like Janet Jacobson and Dawn Smith
- More than 3,000 news stories about your work!
MoveOn members never gave up. Not after the debate dragged on for months. Not after the Right declared health care dead. Not after corporate Democrats skewered the public option. And not after Massachusetts, when too many Democrats wanted to throw in the towel.
This is a real victory—for progressives and for our country.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to everyone who played a key role in passing real health care reform. You should be incredibly proud.
