National Democrats are taking steps to mobilize supporters in the health care debate, with DCCC chairman Chris Van Hollen gearing up to hold a tele-town hall this Friday to discuss the issues with the folks at the grassroots level.

The tele-town hall will be held this Friday, at 2:30 p.m. ET.

"With all the fast-breaking developments this week," Van Hollen says in an e-mail sent out to the DCCC's support list, "I wanted to gather our most dedicated supporters like you to provide an update on where we stand, answer your questions, and discuss our plan for action on health care reform."

Dear Friend,

After decades of struggle, we are now closer than at any other time in history to providing quality, affordable, and accessible health care for every American.

Grassroots Democrats like you are the reason we've gotten this far. Through your generous financial support and your tireless activism, you've created a force for progressive change on behalf of President Obama.

With all the fast-breaking developments this week, I wanted to gather our most dedicated supporters like you to provide an update on where we stand, answer your questions, and discuss our plan for action on health care reform.

Join me for the DCCC's Health Care Reform Tele-Town Hall Meeting this Friday, July 31 at 2:30 PM EDT. Sign-up today to participate from wherever you are.

Thank you for putting us on the verge of making history with health care reform. Let's keep up the fight against the Republican attacks and help President Obama finish the job.

Please join me on Friday.

Thanks,

Rep. Chris Van Hollen
DCCC Chairman
