During the campaign to get President Obama elected, we were all excited and moved by the hope he inspired us to feel when he talked about change. He told us then that he could not do it alone and that he would be calling on us to help him to fight the good fight.

It is time to demand that our representatives on both sides of the aisle come together to solve a huge problem that has been troubling America for 100 years -- our health care system. It is time to stand up to the special interests who profit from the broken system, and it is time to deliver a brighter, smarter future for generations to come. Take a stand.
