What a historic moment! And it's thanks to you.

When I was at the Capitol last night lobbying House members to
vote for the health care reform legislation, I took with me your
strength and that of millions of union members and health care
activists like you.

Winning the historic health care vote in the House simply could
not have happened without you.

The 4 million calls you made to Congress, the rallies you
attended, the e-mails you sent, the way you never stopped making
your voice heard for health care reform--that's what made the
difference.

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka took a break from lobbying
before the House health care reform vote to thank activists like
you. With him are Liz Stender of Working America and Judith Cato
of the Alliance for Retired Americans.

Thanks to you, we are right on the verge of ending obscene
insurance company abuses that have denied and canceled coverage
because people had the nerve to get sick. Thanks to you, we'll
start getting health care costs under control, make sure
employers meet their responsibilities and get health care to 32
million people whose lives have been at risk without it. And
after a lot of hard work, this legislation will not force middle
class working people to pick up the tab.

The Senate must approve the final language this week. Please
don't stop now. Keep the pressure on your senators. Keep making
your voice heard.

I know you can do it.

Sincerely,

Richard Trumka, AFL-CIO President
