Closing
the Books on Bush's Legacy "On every major measurement, the Census
Bureau report shows that the country lost ground during Bush's
two terms. While Bush was in office, the median household income
declined, poverty increased, childhood poverty increased even
more, and the number of Americans without health insurance spiked.
By contrast, the country's condition improved on each of those
measures during Bill Clinton's two terms, often substantially."

Friend -- On Wednesday night President Obama delivered a passionate address on health reform to Congress and all Americans, then immediately wrote to you to ask for your help in making reform a reality. Your response was astounding: In less than 48 hours, more than 450,000 of you signed messages urging Congress to pass the President's plan -- and even chipped in more than $1 million to power our campaign for change. Now, President Obama has recorded a message just for OFA supporters about what comes next. Please watch the video, and, if you haven't already, add your name in support of the President's plan. http://my.barackobama.com/ReformVideo Thanks, Mitch P.S. In case you missed it, here's the President's email to OFA supporters from the night of the big speech: ---Original Message--- Friend -- I just finished laying out my plan for health reform at a joint session of Congress. Now, I'm writing directly to you because what happens next is critical -- and I need your help. Change this big will not happen because I ask for it. It can only come when the nation demands it. Congress knows where I stand. Now they need to hear from you. Add your voice: Ask your representatives to support my plan for real health reform in 2009. The heart of my plan is simple: bring stability and security to Americans who already have health insurance, guarantee affordable coverage for those who don't, and rein in the cost of health care. Tonight, I offered a specific plan for how to make it happen. I incorporated the best ideas from Democrats and Republicans to create a plan that's bold, practical, and represents the broad consensus of the American people. We've come closer to real health reform in the last few months than we have in the last 60 years. But those who profit from the status quo -- and those who put partisan advantage above all else -- will fight us every inch of the way. We do not seek that fight, but we will not shrink from it. The stakes are too high to let scare tactics cloud the debate, or to allow partisan bickering to block the path. Your voice, right now, is essential. See my full plan and call on your representatives to support it: http://my.barackobama.com/ReformVideo Ours is not the first generation to understand the dire need for health reform. And I am not the first president to take up this cause, but I am determined to be the last. Thank you, President Barack Obama |

AGRICULTURE SECRETARY VILSACK HIGHLIGHTS OBAMA ADMINISTRATION'S 'NATIONAL DAY OF SERVICE AND REMEMBRANCE' WASHINGTON, September 11, 2009 - Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today took part in the Obama Administration's 'National Day of Service and Remembrance' by visiting the DC Central Kitchen. Vilsack highlighted the importance of DC Central Kitchen's mission to serve the most vulnerable in our community and delivered fresh produce from 'The People's Garden' and Farmer's Market at USDA headquarters. Altogether, 'The Peoples Garden' has produced 300 pounds of fresh produce that has been donated to DC Central Kitchen over the course of the summer. "Today we honor the spirit of service to country and community by participating in the 'National Day of Service and Remembrance," said Vilsack. "Americans all across the country are answering President Obama's call to volunteerism and are strengthening their communities by giving back. By making community service a part of our daily lives, we honor those that have sacrificed to help make our nation stronger." President Obama established the 'United We Serve' initiative with a goal of including volunteerism and community service activities into the daily lives of all Americans in order to strengthen the nation's foundation of service, one community at a time. The 'United We Serve' summer initiative began on June 22 and runs through the National Day of Service and remembrance on September 11, 2009. The President's call to participate in this program focuses on four key areas where everyone can have a continuing impact in their community: education, health, energy and the environment and community renewal. All Americans can create news service projects, find service projects in their communities, and share stories about projects that are making a difference by visiting www.serve.gov. The DC Central Kitchen began its first phase of operations on January 20, 1989, redistributing the excess food from the Presidential inauguration. Since its inception, DC Central Kitchen has used their facility as a central location to recover unused food, prepare and deliver meals to partner social service agencies, train and employ homeless men and women for the food service industry, and intellectually engage volunteers. As a community kitchen, they recycle over one ton of surplus food each day that would otherwise go to waste and turn it into 4,500 meals for the hungry in the greater Washington, D.C., region. # |

MESSAGE FROM THE MAJORITY LEADER This week, President Obama addressed a
joint session of Congress on health insurance reform. His message
was this: The time for reform is now. America cannot continue
to sustain the skyrocketing cost of health care that is hurting
our families, our businesses and our country. Democratic proposals
will make health insurance work better for all Americans with
quality affordable choices and no requirement that you need to
change your coverage plan or doctors. Finally, Democrats remain
committed to reform that, does not add to the deficit and brings
down costs in the long-term. STENY H. HOYER |
