This is the moment our movement was built for.
For one month, the fight for health insurance reform leaves the backrooms of Washington, D.C., and returns to communities across America. Throughout August, members of Congress are back home, where the hands they shake and the voices they hear will not belong to lobbyists, but to people like you.
Home is where we're strongest. We didn't win last year's election together at a committee hearing in D.C. We won it on the doorsteps and the phone lines, at the softball games and the town meetings, and in every part of this great country where people gather to talk about what matters most. And if you're willing to step up once again, that's exactly where we're going to win this historic campaign for the guaranteed, affordable health insurance that every American deserves.
There are those who profit from the status quo, or see this debate as a political game, and they will stop at nothing to block reform. They are filling the airwaves and the internet with outrageous falsehoods to scare people into opposing change. And some people, not surprisingly, are getting pretty nervous. So we've got to get out there, fight lies with truth, and set the record straight.
That's why Organizing for America is putting together thousands of events this month where you can reach out to neighbors, show your support, and make certain your members of Congress know that you're counting on them to act.
But these canvasses, town halls, and gatherings only make a difference if you turn up to knock on doors, share your views, and show your support. So here's what I need from you:
Can you sign up to attend an event near you?
In politics, there's a rule that says when you ask people to get involved, always tell them it'll be easy. Well, let's be honest here: Passing comprehensive health insurance reform will not be easy. Every President since Harry Truman has talked about it, and the most powerful and experienced lobbyists in Washington stand in the way.
But every day we don't act, Americans watch their premiums rise three times faster than wages, small businesses and families are pushed towards bankruptcy, and 14,000 people lose their coverage entirely. The cost of inaction is simply too much for the people of this nation to bear.
So yes, fixing this crisis will not be easy. Our opponents will attack us every day for daring to try. It will require time, and hard work, and there will be days when we don't know if we have anything more to give. But there comes a moment when we all have to choose between doing what's easy, and doing what's right.
This is one of those times. And moments like this are what this movement was built for. So, are you ready?
Please RSVP for an event in your community to build support for health insurance reform:

Let's seize this moment and win this historic victory for our economy, our health and our families.
Thank you,
President Barack Obama

Again? He already told his people to get in the oppositions faces once before.
He’s a community organizer - mob mentality. NOTHING presidential about him.
Looks like Barry’s trying to grow his own Astroturf.
Just a matter of time till The Black Panthers show up.

FUBO
“We won it on the doorsteps and the phone lines, at the softball games and the town meetings....”
Don’t forget ACORN, bonehead.
I just love Liberal panic!
Well I for one have sent a copy of the message to the White House “rat out your friends” email address. It is quite obvious someone is trying to organize mobs to disrupt town hall meetings.
I just checked the DC area. It looks like a lot of door to door canvassing and phone banks.
Now that we know when and where they are going to be....

TOP DIARY on Daily KOS-
“After Tampa, F*** “Bipartisanship”
Obama calls out the real Astrotuft!
He called for them to go door-to-door to push the stimulus package, too. The turnout was putrid.
The lilly white college activists he got to pamphlet their suburban neighborhoods with pretty hopeychangey lit aren’t going anywhere near these town halls. This is going to be a strictly union thug and ACORN operation. And if we turn out, we have them massively outnumbered.
“Well I for one have sent a copy of the message to the White House “rat out your friends” email address. It is quite obvious someone is trying to organize mobs to disrupt town hall meetings.”
LMAO! Good one!
This Zero can’t seem to butt out like a “real” president does.
He just has to join his mob friends in their bullying of
free speech. He can’t quit being an activist for the leftist
agenda.
It’s the weirdest presidency I have EVER seen!...and the
most dangerous!
