DNC Chairman Tim Kaine recently recorded a special video update on the ongoing campaign to pass real health care reform. In his message, he recounts a few of the many stories that illustrate just how urgent the need for reform is.

President Obama has made health care reform a top priority. While Congress works to on the details of legislation, supporters across the country are organizing to build support for comprehensive reform that reduces costs, guarantees choice, and ensures affordable, quality health care for all Americans.

You can show how broad support for reform truly is by adding your name to a public declaration of support for the President's principles for reform.

You can also share your own personal story of how urgency of health reform in your life and the lives of your loved ones.

You can help push back against the smears and disinformation that will be spread by lobbyists and special interests by sending a letter to the editor of your local paper.

And you can call your representatives in Congress to make sure they know where you stand.

As Chairman Kaine explained, "Now is the time to reform health care." The future of American health care is now up for grabs, and what we do over the next few months could make the difference.
