The House Made History

Posted by: Ron Pollack, Executive Director on Nov 08, 2009

Last night, the House made history by passing a health reform bill. It was a moment to cherish.

Long in the making, this victory represents a major step toward the achievement of high-quality, affordable health care for all Americans.

Those who were watching the vote on television saw the House erupt in celebration. What they could not see was the cheering in the homes of the activists and ordinary Americans who worked tirelessly to achieve this historic vote.

To them I say, "Next stop, the U.S. Senate. And don't let up until we're in the Rose Garden!
