Participate in health care reform call-in with President Obama

President Obama has accepted Sojourners’ invitation to be on a call with you and other faith activists about what is really going on with health-care reform. The live call and webcast will take place August 19 at 5 p.m. EDT.

RSVP now to be part of this historic call, and receive the call-in number and Web site for the call.

Over the past few weeks, opponents of health-care reform have pulled out all the stops in an attempt to derail substantive debate and conversations. If you are tired of the mysterious ads and fear-mongering emails, then join us for a look at what health-care reform is really trying to accomplish.

The goal of the call is to connect, inform, and energize people of faith across the country who are concerned about health care, and who want to know more so they can be effective advocates in this debate.

We’ll see our current system through the eyes of people across the country, have a chance to hear from White House policy staff, and then hear from the president. It is okay if you don’t know how you feel about plans for reform - get on the call to learn more.

Please share this message with your family, friends, neighbors, and fellow congregation members. Spread the news on your Facebook page and Twitter account.

We expect thousands of people on this call to hear President Obama, so it is important to register ahead of time.

The call with President Obama is part of “40 Days for Health Reform” - an effort led by faith groups across the country to ensure that Congress passes reform legislation that extends quality, affordable health care to every American family. As special interests distort, disrupt, and shut down dialogue across the country, it’s more urgent than ever for people of faith to raise their unique moral witness for health-care reform.

We need honest dialogue about quality, affordable health care for all people - just look at the experiences in your own life. Most of us are just one accident, one unexpected situation away from losing our health insurance. Our country can and should do better.

Join us Wednesday at 5 p.m. - RSVP now.

By joining the call, you are choosing to be a part of the solution - to join the discussion about what America really needs from health-care reform. We can’t let such an important opportunity to improve the lives of our families, churches, and communities be hijacked by fear-based rhetoric.
