Last week, Republican Senator Jim DeMint made it pretty clear why the opponents of health care reform are fighting so hard. As he told a special interest attack group, "If we're able to stop Obama on this, it will be his Waterloo. It will break him."
Here's how the President responded: Think about that. This isn't about me. This isn't about politics. This is about a health care system that is breaking America's families, breaking America's businesses and breaking America's economy. And we can't afford the politics of delay and defeat when it comes to health care. Not this time, not now. There are too many lives and livelihoods at stake.
With Congress only days away from finalizing their plans for reform, it's time to stand up with the President and fight back against this disastrous brand of old-style politics. So we need as many people as possible to publicly support the President's principles for health care reform and call on Congress to act.
Before the first full votes in Congress, we'll publish the signatures in newspaper ads across the nation, to make sure your voice is heard.
Watch President Obama's full response, then add your name in support of reform. Or if you've already signed, please forward this message to every one of your friends and neighbors so they can join you.
The President is more dedicated than ever to passing health care reform that satisfies the three requirements he's been talking about for months: Health care reform must reduce costs, guarantee choice -- including the choice of a strong public insurance option -- and ensure all Americans have quality, affordable health care.
If we do not reform our broken health care system this year, we will only shackle future generations with spiraling costs and deteriorating care. The cost of inaction is simply more than this country can afford.
But the special interests who profit from the status quo won't go down without a fight. The ads, the smears, and the attacks -- targeting both President Obama and members of Congress who support reform -- will only get worse. So it's crucial that we show huge backing before Congress finalizes their plans this month.
Stand with President Obama on health care reform:

SO did they get the email? Do homeless have cell phones?
“Dear Fellow Communists, Islamists and Anti-Americans of all Stripes,
As your illegally elected Commissar I am pleading with all enviromentalist-wackos, anarchists, abortion murderers, union thugs, illegal aliens, my islamic brotherhood in stir, race-baiters, white-haters, anti-capitalist rabble, my fellow crack-users from Chi-town, all Democrats who ever accepted payoffs and bribes, raped and murdered women in the back seat of their cars, all Americans who hate Conservatives, the mentally-disturbed at Daily KOS, the pro-government state-run liberal and far left media who are currently helping me destroy America, all you lazy, good-for-nothing-shiftless morons who are on my government dole, have no jobs, and pay no taxes so you can continue to sponge off hard-working Americans,.................please help me pass this POS bill so my brief Kenyan Muslim legacy will be saved!!
The US Capitol phone lines are busy busy busy. Doubt that it’s people demanding to have health care that fines them if they don’t choose the gummint opshun.
Are these people insane?
Do they really believe what Barack Obama says about this issue? Do they not read or hear about the CBO’s analysis of these so-called “solutions” to the so-called “healthcare crisis”?
I am befuddled that there are so many individuals in America who for whatever reason believe that Obama and the farthest-left US Congress in my lifetime will help the situation.
