Below: a variety of useful info --- I'm only sending this to a small group, so forward to your respective groups/contacts as you wish. Jady
From a 2009 Summer Intern with Senator Barbara Boxer:
"Thanks a lot for organizing for health care. One of my summer internships has been with Senator Boxer and nearly all the calls we get are against health care reform. It does seem like somehow with Obama elected and a Democratic majority, progressive voters have sat back and waited for the "change". Its good to hear from you and from the grassroots."

Resources for information about the Health care issue and current legislation:
"This isn't about me. This isn't about politics. This is about a health care system that is breaking America 's families, breaking America 's businesses, and breaking America 's economy. And we can't afford the politics of delay and defeat when it comes to health care. Not this time. Not now. There are too many lives and livelihoods at stake."
~ Barack Obama
