Reaching five hundred signatures will provide the necessary evidence that this constitutional amendment resonates with people across the country. Please bring this proposal to the attention of those in your circle who care about the future of our national health security.

May 20, 2009

The stories shared by those who have signed this petition reveal how deeply the current uncertainty affects our daily lives. I am currently working to bridge the gap between these personal experiences and the legislative language needed to make health care a secure right for everyone. Your engagement provides the foundation for these formal conversations.

Reaching one hundred signatures feels like a significant confirmation that the need for health security is shared by many. It is heartening to see this conversation take root among people who value the well being of their fellow citizens.
