Friend --
A few weeks ago, President Obama asked
you to share your personal story about how the health care crisis
has affected you and the ones you love. Hundreds of thousands
of stories poured in from every corner of the country. The President
and I have read through many of them ourselves -- and now I'm
encouraging you to do so as well.
Read these powerful, personal stories from people
in your area and around the country.
And after you do, please forward this note
on to as many people as you can.
For folks who don't yet understand why
health care reform is such an urgent priority, these stories
make the case far better than any statistics ever could.
For those who support health care reform
but haven't yet found the time to join our campaign, these stories
provide more motivation than any speech any politician could
ever give.
So please read these stories, pass this
note on to everyone in your address book, and help us show everyone
in America why fixing our broken health care system is a necessity
that just can't wait:
http://healthcare.barackobama.com/stories
Thank you,
Vice President Joe Biden
