Starting in 2009, in a response to the controversy over Obama's health care proposal, Olbermann, in conjunction with the National Association of Free Clinics, petitioned his viewers to donate money to provide free clinics in several major cities across the country. This effort spread to other MSNBC shows such as Hardball with Chris Matthews and The Dylan Ratigan Show, and continued on the Current TV edition of Countdown.

“[Rutherford B. Hayes] was a patriotic citizen, a lover of the flag and of our free institutions, an industrious and conscientious civil officer, a soldier of dauntless courage, a loyal comrade and friend, a sympathetic and helpful neighbor, and the honored head of a happy Christian home.
