President Obama has called for health care reform in 2009 that upholds three core principles. It must:

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 — Every American must have the freedom to choose their plan and doctor – including the choice of a public insurance option
Ensure quality care for all — All Americans must have quality and affordable health care

Sign the declaration of support and tell Congress to pass real health care reform in 2009.

I support President Obama's three principles for real health care reform, and I call on Congress to enact a plan upholding them in 2009:

Share your personal story about the urgency of health care reform in your life and the lives of those you love.

Here are a few pointers for making sure your story is heard:

Be Personal: This is your story, and you should focus on your own life experience, your beliefs, and the changes you hope to see.
Be Specific: The most powerful and memorable stories include specific, real-life examples.
Be Concise: There's no specific limit on the length of your story, but you should try to communicate the essence of your story as clearly and concisely as possible.

Your personal stories are the most powerful call for change. When the lobbyists for the status quo tell Congress to hold back, your personal story will give them the courage to press forward.
