Martinsville, Virginia –The Virginia Organizing Project , Health Care for America Now along with partners from Communications Workers of America and Change That Works will gather outside of Congressman Tom Perriello’s Martinsville office to thank his staff on behalf of the Congressman for listening to Virginia’s working families and small businesses, not the insurance companies, and voting to pass comprehensive health care reform legislation through the U.S House of Representatives.

“We are proud of Congressman Tom Perriello for doing the right thing and voting ‘yes’ on health care reform,” said Shuna Ingram of Martinsville.  “This is an historic moment for Virginia and for America, and Congressman Perriello proved he is on our side by listening to the people of his district and not the corporate lobbyists and big insurance companies. Thanks to the Congressman’s “yes” vote, we can now look forward to the security of good health care at a price we can afford and not have to worry about being denied care or going bankrupt trying to pay for the care we need.”
