Here in New Hampshire, even our youngest activists are fighting for reform.
Meet 14 year-old Doug Marino. Last Friday, at his request, Doug's father drove him 45 minutes from their house to Concord to phone bank for reform. Although he was only supposed to stay two hours, Doug asked to stay for the entire six hour phone bank.
Watch Doug tell his story here:
Sunday was Doug's birthday. His parents told our seacoast organizer, Israel, that they had tried planning a big birthday party for Doug, but he asked them to cancel it so that he could participate in our Sunday canvass. He said he would rather spend his birthday trying to win health care reform than eating cake.

Thanks to the hard work and dedication of activists like Doug, we are closer than ever to achieving the reform that New Hampshire--and our country--needs. As Congress heads back into session, let's show them that we want reform more than ever by continuing to fight for health insurance reform.
Watch Doug's message of inspiration to other young activists here:
When even our youngest granite staters are committing themselves to the cause of health care reform, we know that change is near. With Congress back in session, the time to act is now. Let's continue to commit ourselves to convincing New Hampshire's Senators as well as our members of Congress to passing reform this year. There is no more time to wait. Just ask Doug Marino.
