And it's thanks to you.<br><br>When I was at the Capitol last night lobbying House members to<br>vote for the health care reform legislation, I took with me your<br>strength and that of millions of union members and health care<br>activists like you.<br><br>Winning the historic health care vote in the House simply could<br>not have happened without you.<br><br>The 4 million calls you made to Congress, the rallies
you<br>attended, the e-mails you sent, the way you never stopped making<br>your voice heard for health care reform--that's what made the<br>difference. <br><br>Watch Video: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Kep2JAZaec" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Kep2JAZaec</a><br>AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka took a break from lobbying<br>before the House health care reform vote to thank activists like<br>you. With him are Liz Stender of Working America and Judith Cato<br>of the Alliance for Retired Americans.<br><br>Thanks to you, we are right on the verge of ending obscene<br>insurance company abuses that have denied and canceled coverage<br>because people had the nerve to get sick. Thanks to you, we'll<br>start getting health care costs under control, make sure<br>employers meet their responsibilities and get health care to 32<br>million people whose lives have been at risk without it. And<br>after a lot of hard work, this legislation
will not force middle<br>class working people to pick up the tab. <br><br>Read more about it all here:<br><a href="http://blog.aflcio.org/2010/03/21/house-approves-historic-health-care-reform/" target="_blank">http://blog.aflcio.org/2010/03/21/house-approves-historic-health-care-reform/</a><br><br>The Senate must approve the final language this week.
