Tonight, at 9pm ET/8pm CT, President Obama will address a joint session of Congress about his budget priorities and draw a blueprint for the year ahead.

The address--which will be roughly one hour in length--is intended to explain his economic policies and argue that legislative revisions on health care, education and energy are crucial to lifting the economy. It will represent the most in-depth indication yet of Obama's priorities this year so far--and mark the start of a hugely important budget process in Congress.

President Obama has made many historic speeches since he first launched his bid for the presidency. But, for health care, none have had the significance of the one he'll deliver tonight. The funds that are ultimately designated for health care reform in the federal budget will greatly influence our ability to achieve meaningful reform this year.

Tonight, millions of our friends, neighbors, and relatives will be watching the president's speech. They're going to hear him make a strong case for why we need to push for immediate health care reform. But it's up to us to show them how.
