Subject: Just in time: The inside scoop for the 4th of July picnic!
Your message:

Dear Friend,

It's time again for the annual Fourth of July family picnic. Picture this: You're minding your own business eating your corn on the cob when over walks your cousin (the one who's nine months pregnant and in a very bad mood because it's much too hot). She remarks, "The country is going to hell in a hand basket. Take, for example, health reform."

Silence.

Don't get tongue-tied! MomsRising is here to help. Even if you don't have a mouthful of corn, it turns out that most people don't have a quick reply at the tip of their tongue yet.

*Find out how healthcare reform will help moms and kids--and get picnic ready--by watching these great videos of Senators Menendez, Merkley, and Udall personally answering questions from MomsRising members about health reform.

And while we're talking about healthcare, do you want even more information on how health reform can help you? You're in luck because TODAY the Department of Health and Human Services is launching a cool website that will allow visitors to research and compare insurance plans, and to determine their eligibility for public programs like Medicare, Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) and pre-existing condition insurance plans.

Thanks!
