President Obama will join Organizing For America’s “Time To Deliver” events via webcast tomorrow, in an effort to drum up support for his health reform bill.

The events will occur in “living rooms, coffee shops, student unions and senior centers” in all 50 states, and will encourage participants and members of the OFA mailing list to call their Congressional representatives and express support for the President’s health care plan. The group aims to get 100,000 people to call, or commit to call, their Congressional representative by the end of the day.

President Obama will join the events at 7:45pm EST Tuesday, and will deliver remarks via webcast at an OFA fundraising event at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City.

Mitch Stewart, director of OFA, says in a press release: “We are closer to reform than we have been at any time in the last 60 years and there is no doubt that the momentum behind reform is growing. Tuesday’s events are an opportunity for Americans in all 50 states to do just that — build support for President Obama’s plan for health insurance reform.”

Obama’s speech can be viewed live here. A complete list of events can be found here.
