On Thursday September 17, 2009, President Obama held a health care rally at the University of Maryland. He spoke directly to students and young people about the importance of health care reform and addressed the impact that our broken health care system is having on this generation.
Campus Progress was in attendance and gathering pledges of support for Obama's health care plan from hundreds of young people as they stood in line to hear the President speak.
Many of our network members and students spoke to reporters about their concerns with the health care system and their reasons for supporting reform.
Other than a handful of anti-abortion protestors and anti-reform hecklers that thought dressing up for halloween was a good way to somehow get their message across, the rally attendees were all in support of the President's call for reform and excited to have him addressing the issue as it pertains to young people.
Please remember that Campus Progress' terms of use do not allow promoting or endorsing any particular political party or candidate for office. Posts or comments that do this will be deleted.
