Email from the President

I just wanted to let you know how important I feel today.  I got an email from “The President” yesterday, yes really Barack Obama.  Well, okay maybe you would call it an “eblast” because it went to a few more people than just me.  But my point is not everybody got one, (Did you?), and he’s got some good stuff to say that you might want to know about. If you want to get on the list so the President will email you all this important stuff too here’s how you do it. (Okay, maybe he did have a little help sending it)

To sign up for these very special and personal emails from “The Real President of the United States” all you have to do is go to http://www.whitehouse.gov/EmailUpdates.

In case you didn’t get this email and want to know what it says read on because I copied the text here for you.  If you already got it, I guess you can feel special too.

President Barack Obama to me

 Good afternoon,

You are receiving this email because you signed up at WhiteHouse.gov. My staff and I plan to use these messages as a way to directly communicate about important issues and opportunities, and today I have some encouraging updates about health care reform.

The Vice President and I just met with leaders from the House of Representatives and received their commitment to pass a comprehensive health care reform bill by July 31.

We also have an unprecedented commitment from health care industry leaders, many of whom opposed health reform in the past. Monday, I met with some of these health care stakeholders, and they pledged to do their part to reduce the health care spending growth rate, saving more than two trillion dollars over the next ten years — around $2,500 for each American family. Then on Tuesday, leaders from some of America’s top companies came to the White House to showcase innovative ways to reduce health care costs by improving the health of their workers.

Now the House and Senate are beginning a critical debate that will determine the health of our nation’s economy and its families. This process should be transparent and inclusive and its product must drive down costs, assure quality and affordable health care for everyone, and guarantee all of us a choice of doctors and plans.

Reforming health care should also involve you. Think of other people who may want to stay up to date on health care reform and other national issues and tell them to join us here:

Health care reform can’t come soon enough. We spend more on health care than any country, but families continue to struggle with skyrocketing premiums and nearly 46 million are without insurance entirely. It is a priority for the American people and a pillar of the new foundation we are seeking to build for our economy.

 We’ll continue to keep you posted about this and other important issues.

 Thank you,

Barack Obama
