Tell Barack Obama, Put Children's Health First!

Target: President Barack Obama
Sponsored by: Children's National Medical Center
As Barack Obama makes plans to address the hard choices and challenges he'll face as president, let him know that children's health needs to be a priority in the United States.

No matter what else is happening in the world, children continue to get sick - and they require treatment now.

Dedicated and caring doctors, nurses and other health professionals are working hard every day to meet their obligation to provide the best possible care to save the lives of kids in their communities. Now is the time to tell the future president of the United States that we want our leaders in Washington to have the same conviction.

Every child everywhere deserves a long, healthy life! Sign the petition letter and let President Obama know that children's health matters in good financial times and bad.
deadline: 10-16-2009
goal: 10,000

Dear President Obama,

As you prepare to take the helm as the next leader of our country, please do not waver in your support for the health of America's children.

Now, more than ever, the people of the United States are looking for strong leadership in our elected officials. As you make singularly important decisions about our country's financial health, I urge you to remember that investing in our country's future means investing in our children.

Thank you for taking this huge step toward helping our communities through the school system. Coincidently I am doing the same, I have created fitness, health and wellness programs for all children and teen that are transforming each and every child as we speak through my private centers. I want to bring this awesome program into the school systems to really target out Obesity problem. All these kids have lost hundreds of pounds and still loosing weight. I am starting to intoduce my successful programs into some schools in Broward, Fl. I would love to bring it into every school in the USA. This program, I guarantee will change millions of children through-out each and every state!!! Looking for your support in implementing this phenominal program, that would be a great impact throughout our nation. Would love for you or your organization to contact me for further details.

i worked in a community hospital for 3 years that was in a town with a huge immigrant population. i always found it remarkable that as soon as immigrant's children were born, social services did everything they could to quicklt get these children social security numbers and on the states medicaid programs. but native american children as well as children of long time america residents were left alone to do this for their own. many went without healthcare depending on the status of the parents.
