The outcome of real health care reform lies in the balance. Within the next weeks Congress will decide what provisions to include and how to pay for health care reform through a combination of revenues and savings. Some in Congress, hearing opposition to responsible tax proposals, are considering scaling back benefits or coverage. This is a critical moment. We lost health reform in the past because insurance companies and other special interests were heard and too many Americans were silent. Let your organization's voice be heard. Please sign a statement to let Congress and the Administration know you understand that making health care accessible and affordable to all depends on adequate revenues collected fairly. Sign at: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/125/petition.jsp?petition_KEY=1967.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is seeking public comment on a set of proposed criteria to determine which vaccines recommended by the CDC should be mandatory for immigrants seeking admission into the U.S. or seeking to become permanent residents. Although the new rule does not specifically address the HPV vaccine, it will impact whether or not it will continue to be mandated. Once the proposed rule becomes final, all existing vaccination mandates on immigrants will be reassessed against the criteria. If a vaccine does not meet the criteria, it will not be mandated for immigrants. Take Action! Tell the CDC You Support the Proposed Rule. Comments can be submitted via e-mail to
