Important Announcement on Health Care

I'm writing with some very exciting and important news. Next Saturday, Sen. Hillary Clinton, Sen. Chris Dodd, Sen. John Edwards, Sen. Mike Gravel, Rep. Dennis Kucinich, Sen. Barack Obama, and Gov. Bill Richardson will be joining us at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas for a special, live forum on health care. This event is co-sponsored by the Service Employees International Union; invitations were extended to every Republican and Democratic presidential candidate.

Saturday, March 24, 2007
12:15 p.m. EST (9:15 a.m. PST)

Throughout the next few days, we'll be sending you a handful of emails with opportunities for you to participate in this historic event. You'll be able to:

- Submit questions for the candidates
- Follow along with live blogging by ThinkProgress
- Watch a live video webcast from the forum
- Voice your opinions about the candidates

The Center for American Progress Action Fund has made health care reform one of our top policy priorities, and this event will help build awareness and momentum for change. Our country's health system is broken -- it costs too much and it leaves too many people without health coverage. But with committed leadership, we have a chance of realizing affordable health coverage for all Americans. This forum will be the public's first opportunity to learn how the nation's presidential candidates will provide this crucial leadership.

Sign up for an email reminder to receive the latest details on the forum, and please join us for what promises to be the most significant event so far of the 2008 election cycle.

See you online,

John Podesta
