We did it.  It was close.  It was difficult.  The big insurance companies did their best to stop us.  And the small, but loud minority that doesn’t want to contain costs and provide quality, affordable health care to all Americans tried as hard as they could to stand in the way.

But because of you, they did not prevail.  We won the first round when both the House and the Senate decided to include the public option in their final proposals.

Now we’ve won round two.  The House bill that passed today includes a public option.  It doesn’t have everything I want, but is more than many thought possible.

Get ready for round three. Next, the Senate must pass its bill.  If you thought the big insurance companies were desperate before, now they’re on the ropes, fighting for their lives.

We can’t give up.  We’re one step closer to victory.  And we discovered today that you can speak more loudly than the opposition.

Let’s grow even louder.  Let’s get more than 100,000 names on the petition by the time the Senate calls for a vote.  You will be heard.
