MoveOn along with co-sponsors DFA, TrueMajority, Center for Community Change, Doctors for America, HCAN and the SEIU hosted over 350 candle light vigils last night to remind legislators that the country cannot wait for reform. Overwhelming the nation is in favor of reform and the local vigil I attended in Los Angeles provided further evidence to support the campaign.

Arriving at the corner of Sepulveda and Santa Monica Boulevard, hundreds of pro-health insurance reform gathered outside Senator Dianne Feinstein's LA office. Attendees held home-made signs supporting the public option and sang folk mash-ups to support health reform. As the sun set, community members lit small candles. Speakers like Dr. Alice Chen, vice president of Doctors for America explained why physicians are in favor of fixing the system so as to better provide for their patients.

Across the street about 16 anti-reform protesters staged a counter demonstration. Their signs and chants belied an alternate agenda to say the least.

Before the evening concluded, several hundred people delivered a strong positive message to members of Congress, to make sure that they know an overwhelming majority of voters are counting on them to act quickly to pass heath insurance reform.
