OFA L.A. Event - Congressional Send-Off Rallies Nationwide in Support of Health Care Reform (Intro)

Reporting for OpEdNews ( http://opednews.com/ ), Doug Drenkow ( http://douglasdrenkow.com/ ) sets the scene for this Los Angeles venue of a "Congressional Send-Off Rally," one of many nationwide, organized by Organizing for America ( http://www.barackobama.com/ ) and attended by thousands of everyday citizens to demonstrate that, as the polls show, the majority of Americans do support health care reform, including a public option, despite the disruption of town hall meetings by loud and sometimes violent opponents (See Drenkow's clips on the Schiff Town Hall). This is the first in a series of clips on the event, others featuring noted speakers and real-life stories of tragic losses of life because of health insurance failures.

Absolutely. I am inspired by the McNary health care rally videos you have posted, too. The people are finally speaking up for our rights. It is an exciting time in American history!

Thanks! This is truly a life-and-death issue, isn't it?

[McDaidUSA]

Yes, it is a life and death issue that has been corrupted into a political and corporate power stuggle. We must not let this continue in our country!
