TOMORROW: Organizing For America Welcomes Home Rep. Tom Perriello
Virginians hold press conference at the Charlottesville Free Clinic to thank Rep. Perriello for working towards meaningful health insurance reform
Virginia's Organizing for America will hold a press conference TOMORROW, Friday, August 7th at 11:00 am at the Charlottesville Free Clinic to welcome Rep. Tom Perriello back to the district and thank him for working for the health insurance reform Virginians desperately need. Charlottesville Councilwoman Holly Edwards, Clinic Nurse Barrie Carveth, and uninsured citizens who rely on the Charlottesville Free Clinic for essential care gather to also emphasize the great need for health insurance reform now in the Charlottesville area and Virginia as a whole.
OFA, a grassroots project of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) dedicated to supporting the President’s agenda for change, is committed to building on and strengthening the historic grassroots network created during the campaign and helping advance the President's policy agenda. In recent months OFA has organized thousands of events in support of President Obama's efforts to reform America’s broken health insurance system, has collected hundreds of thousands of stories emblematic of the struggles Americans face in providing health care for their families and has collected over one million declarations of support for the President's principles for reform.
During the week of July 20th, Organizing for America volunteers in all 50 states held events amplifying the urgent need to reform health care. In January and February, OFA held thousands of events coast-to-coast to help pass the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and did the same in support of President Obama's landmark budget proposal. OFA’s commitment to reform America’s broken health insurance system will only increase during the August recess with events and actions with the purpose of alerting members of Congress to the broad base of support that health insurance reform has all across this country.
Welcome Back Rep. Tom Periello
