Stand Up for Health Care Did you hear? Rush Limbaugh tried to hijack our phone lines and shut us down. I think it's time we fight back! http://www.standupforhealthcare.org/blog/archives/are_you_louder_than_rush_limbaugh/#more

Limbaugh, and other anti-reform crusaders, hijacked the 800-number we provide so dedicated activists like you can call Congress.

Our nation's health care system is not meeting the needs of its people, especially those with serious medical issues like cancer. Though the fight for health care reform has not been easy, we've come too far and accomplished too much to let this effort fail.

Love will overcome hate. Don't get negative. Once you lose your positive mental attitude then you slowly erode your humanity and you become self centered. Health Care reform for all Americans needs positive support from those of us who know this is the most important piece of govermental legislation in the past 30 - 40 years. Keep emailing, ... See Moresnail mail and calling your Congressmen, Senators, The President, Govenors and Mayors. Encourage your family and friends to contact our leaders. Tell the Media how important this issue is to you and our country. Keep up the work and stay positive.

Stand Up for Health Care Join us in telling the senate: "DON'T FILIBUSTER MY HEALTH CARE!" http://www.standupforhealthcare.org/page/s/dontfilibuster

We have worked hard over the past year to pass legislation to ensure that every American has access to quality, affordable health care. And opponents have been there every step of the way to derail our progress by disrupting town halls meetings and spreading lies about the contents of the bill.

When you think of the grocery chain, Whole Foods, what comes to mind? How about bulk granola, 365-brand soy beans, and perhaps a prepared foods section with specialty salads and soups?
