On MLK weekend three years ago, thousands across the country took Our First Stand to Save Health Care – vowing to defeat the Republican special interest agenda. With the unity of Democrats and the ferocious mobilization of the grassroots, we won the House and succeeded in protecting our care. Three years later, the battle remains. Moscow […]
