[my name] --
Opponents of health insurance reform have power. Some reap huge profits from the status quo. Others take large campaign contributions from those who profit.
So they'll do anything to keep the current system in place. When fact-based arguments don't work, they attack President Obama with outlandish lies about a government takeover and euthanizing the elderly. And once that doesn't work, they'll go even further.
We don't know what they'll do next. What we do know is that we'll have to be prepared for anything -- ready to set the record straight, ready to make sure the media and Congress see the overwhelming support for reform, and ready to pass real reform this year.
But we'll need the resources to do it -- to pay for rapid-response ads in key districts and states, organizers to put together large rallies and grassroots events throughout the country, and the best technology available to empower volunteers -- all at a moment's notice. Please chip in $5 or more to help us pass real reform, this year.
This was never going to be easy. As candidate Obama said just three days before the election: "Don't think for a moment that power will concede without a fight." Now, we're seeing how true that really is.
These same well-financed forces have killed reform in the past, and they're aiming to do it again.
But here's why this time can be different: There are folks like you, all around the country, who are ready to go toe-to-toe with the special interests, even when they're not fighting fair.
And we'll keep at it, because we know that the work we're doing together right now can make the lives of hundreds of millions better for decades to come.
But we need your help to keep it up. Please donate $5 or more to help beat the special interests:

There's too much at stake for any of us to sit this one out. Please chip in.
Thanks,

The lust for power is what drives all of these leftist groups. “Control of the health care industry” is a stated goal of the SEIU in their bylaws.
OFA, ACORN/Reform Now, SEIU, etc want control of who lives and who dies in America. Think about that.

They really are stretching the campaign finance laws asking people to go to barrackoboma.com and then claiming no affiliation to “any candidate”.
It's also probably illegal to mail them dried manure.
However, expect Obama’s address to the joint session of congress to be one of “we heard you” and “no public option” repeated over and over again.
Of course, the legislation will have all sorts of triggers buried within it that lead to single-payer anyways.
Hypocrisy alert...
Spending like fools so that our money soon will be like play money...send then Monopoly fives.....after all we are too stooooooopid to know the difference between the two aren’t we?
