Is there a forth type of cloud on the horizon?

Certain conditions must exist for clouds to form – water vapor in the air, temperature change, and particles in the air for the water vapor to condense on.

President Barack Obama

Take the first step towards making health care reform a reality by showing Congress that you support the President’s three principles for reform:

  • Reduce Costs — Rising health care costs are crushing the budgets of governments, businesses, individuals and families and they must be brought under control
  • Guarantee Choice — Americans must have the freedom to keep whatever doctor and health care plan they have, or to select a new doctor or health care plan if they choose
  • Ensure Affordable Care for All — All Americans must have quality and affordable health care

Passing health care reform in 2009 is a top priority for the President. Achieving it will require everyone working together — we can’t do this without you. Stand with the President by adding your name and email to his list.
