The day was not without drama, however. It began with a series of attempts by House Republicans to obstruct debate. Rep. Tom Price (R-GA) shouted, "I OBJECT, I OBJECT, I OBJECT" while Democratic Congresswomen attempted to speak on gender discrimination by insurers.
The day was also not without zany antics. Rep. John Shadegg (R-AZ) held up a baby, and pretended to speak as the baby on the House floor. (We're not kidding!) At many points during the debate, it seemed like we'd never reach a point when Congress would actually vote on health reform.
But we did it - you did it. You made thousands of phone calls to Congress, sent millions of emails and petition signatures, talked to neighbors, family members and friends about getting involved, and rallied in your communities. We couldn't have come this far without everyday Americans stepping forward, speaking out, and refusing to let the status quo remain in Washington.
Celebrate the passage of H.R. 3962, "The Affordable Health Care for America Act," by thanking (or admonishing) your Representative for their vote on health insurance reform. We've come this far - and we're going the whole way. Stay with us in the weeks ahead, as we work to win votes in the U.S. Senate.
Congratulations!
Thanks for all you do,

P.S. For those of you who made whip calls this week - we are especially grateful. Our legislative team used your reporting to guide their strategy on calling various Congressional offices. Read a selection of great report-backs we used on Capitol Hill.

"Late last night, the United States House of Representatives passed their health care bill with a vote of 220 to 215.1
History was made last night.
Never before in this country has the House of Representatives passed a comprehensive health care bill. The bill passed last night will guarantee us all quality, affordable health care. It will rein in insurance company abuses. And it will give us the choice of a public health insurance option.
A vote for this bill last night was a vote for the American people, for making health care a right. A vote against was a vote to continue to leave Americans' health and livelihoods at the mercy of the insurance industry.
Your calls, faxes, and emails over the course of this campaign have brought us to this point. Members of Congress have told us they have heard you, and it is in large part due to your continued support that this bill passed the House of Representatives last night.
Like all bills, it was not perfect. We were particularly disappointed that 64 Democrats joined almost all the Republicans in voting to deny some women access to abortion services, which are a standard part of health insurance now. We will work, with your support, to fix this serious issue before the final bill is passed.
With the House bill passed, the Senate now must pass a bill to move the process forward towards the day when health reform is the law of this land. We will be calling on you more than ever to make sure the Senate passes a bill that meets our principles for real health care reform.
We can win this fight together.
To your health,
Levana Layendecker
Health Care for America Now"
