Monday, 9/7/09 - More than 1,000 people rallied on Boston Common, shouting slogans and holding aloft banners demanding "reform now" in a show of force supporting President Obama's push to overhaul health care.  In a refrain that echoed across the grassy lawn, the crowd chanted: "What do we want? Health Care Reform! When do you want it? Now!"  Members of the crowd said they wanted to push back against vocal opposition to reform as Obama gears up for a major health care address to Congress on Wednesday.
