Massive New Effort -- 40 Days for Health Reform
Listen to the 40 Days for Health Reform campaign launch press conference!
Faith leaders from across America have kicked off "40 Days for Health Reform" - a massive effort to ensure that Congress passes reform legislation that extends quality, affordable health care to every American family. President Obama has accepted the faith community's invitation to participate in a nationwide call in and audio webcast on health care reform with faith leaders from across America on August 19. Between now and people of faith are mounting numerous efforts across the country.
Starting today, a new national television ad featuring local evangelical, Catholic, and mainline pastors and people of faith will begin airing on cable tv. View it here:
Starting August 11, in-district prayer rallies and events reaching 100 Members of Congress will take place across the nation. Members of Congress are under intense pressure from industry-funded, anti-reform mobs, and they need to know that their constituents consider health care moral issue and an urgent political priority.
Complementing these efforts, there will be a nationwide Sermon Weekend later this month, in which clergy of diverse faiths will carry the faith-inspired message for healthcare reform to thousands of congregations.
