Stew --

President Obama is holding a live strategy meeting on Thursday at 2:30 p.m. Eastern
Time for all Organizing for America supporters. I hope you can join us, online or by
phone.

The President will update us on the fight to pass real health insurance reform --
what's happening in D.C. and what's happening around the country. He'll lay out our
strategy and message going forward and answer questions from supporters like you.
And we'll unveil the next actions we'll organize together.

This is a critical time in this President's administration, and in the history of
our country. I hope you can join us.

Here are the details:

   What: Organizing for America National Health Care Forum

   When: Thursday, August 20th, 2:30 p.m. Eastern Time

The President wrote to us a few weeks ago to ask us to go the extra mile this month
in the fight for health insurance reform. And so far, you've stepped up in a big
way: Last week, an astounding 60,000 Organizing for America volunteers stopped by
representatives' and senators' local offices. You told your health care stories to
staffers and members of Congress -- of losing insurance after getting laid off, of
being denied coverage upon finding out about a serious illness. And you thanked
those supporting real health insurance reform for all the work they've done so far.

But these local office visits were only part of the story. The D.C. media has been
trumpeting coverage of town halls disrupted by angry opposition to reform. But the
reality on the ground is very different. Organizing for America supporters are
showing up in huge numbers at these meetings all across the country -- outnumbering
opponents of reform, often by overwhelming margins.

You've organized 11,906 local events in all 50 states -- from press conferences to
community discussions -- since we launched our big campaign for reform in June. And
you've made hundreds of thousands of calls to Congress.

Your work so far has been incredible. But the special interests and partisan attack
groups who oppose reform will not let up, and they will tell whatever lies they can
to spread fear. There's a lot more work for all of us to do. This Thursday's meeting
is our chance to huddle as a team, get the latest information and talk about how
we're going to achieve this victory. You don't want to miss it.
