postheadericon Obama reelection campaign urges supporters to say âIâm for Obamacareâ

President Obama's reelection campaign is urging voters to voice their support for the administration's healthcare reform law.

In an email sent out to supporters on Friday, members of the campaign (top strategist David Axelrod, campaign manager Jim Messina) tout the administration's legislation.

"Obamacare means never having to worry about getting sick and running up against a lifetime cap on insurance coverage," Axelrod writes in one email. "It gives parents the comfort of knowing their kids can stay on their insurance until they're 26, and that a "pre-existing condition" like an ear infection will never compromise their child's coverage."

The email comes on the two-year anniversary of the passage of the law and just ahead of Supreme Court oral arguments on a case challenging the law's constitutionality.

The email directs readers to a part of the Obama reelection campaign's website where supporters can "stand with" Axelrod an! d the campaign and say "Hell yeah, I'm for Obamacare." The website asks for the reader's email address and zipcode.

All week Republicans have been teasing Democrats and the administration for not sufficiently touting the law's anniversary. The White House didn't host any events highlighting the law but Democrats on Capitol Hill and the Obama administration have highlighted the two-year birthday. But earlier on Friday House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) held an event in San Francisco marking the two year anniversary of the law.
