to argue that people voicing their concerns about health care

Organizing for America is putting together thousands of events
this month where you can reach out to neighbors, show your
support, and make certain your members of Congress know that
you're counting on them to act.

and show your support. So here's what I need from you:
Can you commit to join at least one event in your community
this month?
