Dear Steven, <\/p>\n

Last night, we reached another historic milestone in the fight for real health care reform. The Senate passed the first procedural hurdle in moving the Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act forward with a successful 60-39 vote to proceed on the bill. <\/p>\n

We needed 60 votes to move forward, and that’s exactly what we got. So does this mean the fight is over? <\/p>\n

Not even close. <\/p>\n

Republicans are going to use every trick in the book to beat this bill — delays, poison-pill amendments, and distortions about the bill — whatever it takes. And there will be plenty of more times we need to fight for every last vote. <\/p>\n

You and thousands of others have made a real difference by adding your names to our list of supporters of the bill. Will you take the next step and tell your friends to join you? <\/p>\n

Thank you so much for your support. We made history last night, but there is still much to do. I’ll keep you updated as we make progress on this bill. <\/p>\n

Sincerely,
\n Chris <\/p>\n

Dear Friend,<\/p>\n

Big news from the Senate: last night, Harry Reid released the Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act. This begins perhaps the most important phase in the health care fight, where the full Senate will debate what stays in this bill, what goes, and what gets added. <\/strong> <\/p>\n

I am proud to have had a hand in creating this bill, and I strongly support its passage. It includes a strong public option that will make the insurance market more competitive and more fair to consumers. The bill has effective reforms that will help cover nearly all Americans. Here are a few of the many good reasons to support this bill: <\/p>\n
