America to Washington: "Get To Work"
Dear Jody ,
Today, our elected leaders in Washington are gathering to continue their debate on overhauling a health care system that fails far too many Americans.
We’re hopeful they do the work we elected them to do: break through the gridlock, work together and leave the partisan posturing at the door.
If we act quickly, we can take advantage of the national attention on health care to send a clear message to our officials. We just joined forces with the American Cancer Society and others to push a national call to action urging members of both parties to “come together quickly to pass a meaningful (health care reform) bill that improves access to insurance coverage and lowers the costs of care.”
We need 50,000 people to sign the call so that we can send a strong message to Congress. Will you help by adding your name and also asking your friends and family to do the same?
It only takes a moment and couldn’t be more urgent:

Americans are tired of the political theater. We expect real progress and real reform from our leaders. The LIVESTRONG mission is to advocate for meaningful policies that support cancer survivors. Join us in sending a message to Washington they can't ignore.
We need to pull together in this moment. Our voices were heard on both sides of the aisle last fall, but the shifting political landscape has made real reform more elusive than ever. But if we come together—in great numbers—we’ll be impossible to ignore.
Can you please take a moment to add your name to the national health care call to action? Your voice could make a huge difference.

LIVESTRONG,
Doug Ulman, President and CEO, and the LIVESTRONG Action Team
P.S. If you’re interested in viewing the summit today—tune into LIVESTRONGblog.org—we’ll be streaming coverage and you can join the conversation with others in our community concerned about health care. | 
I had this long rant in my head about our health care vs the world's but all that have been said so many times it gets boring.
We need reform desperately it is the only moral thing to do. I can only hope politicians will find some moral streaks in them.
