This is the moment our movement was built for.

For one month, the fight for health insurance reform leaves the backrooms of Washington, D.C., and returns to communities across America. Throughout August, members of Congress are back home, where the hands they shake and the voices they hear will not belong to lobbyists, but to people like you.*1

***** "....... ... ." ___ ??? *109

... (To be continued ...) ...Home is where we're strongest. We didn't win last year's election together at a committee hearing in D.C. We won it on the doorsteps and the phone lines, at the softball games and the town meetings, and in every part of this great country where people gather to talk about what matters most. And if you're willing to step up once again, that's exactly where we're going to win this historic campaign for the guaranteed, affordable health insurance that every American deserves.

There are those who profit from the status quo, or see this debate as a political game, and they will stop at nothing to block reform. They are filling the airwaves and the internet with outrageous falsehoods to scare people into opposing change. And some people, not surprisingly, are getting pretty nervous. So we've got to get out there, fight lies with truth, and set the record straight.

That's why Organizing for America is putting together thousands of events this month where you can reach out to neighbors, show your support, and make certain your members of Congress know that you're counting on them to act.

But these canvasses, town halls, and gatherings only make a difference if you turn up to knock on doors, share your views, and show your support. So here's what I need from you:

Can you commit to join at least one event in your community this month?

In politics, there's a rule that says when you ask people to get involved, always tell them it'll be easy. Well, let's be honest here: Passing comprehensive health insurance reform will not be easy. Every President since Harry Truman has talked about it, and the most powerful and experienced lobbyists in Washington stand in the way.

But every day we don't act, Americans watch their premiums rise three times faster than wages, small businesses and families are pushed towards bankruptcy, and 14,000 people lose their coverage entirely. The cost of inaction is simply too much for the people of this nation to bear.

So yes, fixing this crisis will not be easy. Our opponents will attack us every day for daring to try. It will require time, and hard work, and there will be days when we don't know if we have anything more to give. But there comes a moment when we all have to choose between doing what's easy, and doing what's right.

This is one of those times. And moments like this are what this movement was built for. So, are you ready?

Please commit now to taking at least one action in your community this month to build support for health insurance reform:

Let's seize this moment and win this historic victory for our economy, our health and our families.

Thank you,

President Barack Obama

We are to use things and love people.

we get ourselves into trouble.
If we love things,
we will end up using people.

... (To be continued ...) ...他指出，上海世博會預定明年5月登場，上海世博局估計，世博會半年展期將有海內外7000萬人次到訪，其中希望能吸引台灣民眾100萬人次以上參訪。

　吳福成表示，兩岸經貿往來日益密切，雙方其實可以多面向進行交流與合作，例如大陸努力吸引台灣民眾前往參觀，與此同時，大陸不妨也鼓勵參觀上海世博會的海內外旅客在參觀世博會後，順道走訪台灣，一場世博會讓台灣與大陸互惠互利，這就是共創雙贏。

　他指出，上海舉辦世博會長達半年的期間，台灣也有多項國際展覽進行中，包括台北國際電子展等；兩岸現在已經大三通，台北到上海搭飛機只要1個多小時，兩岸已是1日共同生活圈。只要大陸願意為兩岸關係多做一點努力，鼓勵世博旅客也走訪台灣，不但對台灣經濟有所助益，更可讓兩岸關係與交流邁向新的境界. *7
