Comments | Mail to a Friend | Report Objectionable Content Today, President Obama sent out a message to supporters asking them to get involved in the fight for health insurance reform this month:

For one month, the fight for health insurance reform leaves the backrooms of Washington, D.C., and returns to communities across America. Throughout August, members of Congress are back home, where the hands they shake and the voices they hear will not belong to lobbyists, but to people like you.

Home is where we're strongest. We didn't win last year's election together at a committee hearing in D.C. We won it on the doorsteps and the phone lines, at the softball games and the town meetings, and in every part of this great country where people gather to talk about what matters most. And if you're willing to step up once again, that's exactly where we're going to win this historic campaign for the guaranteed, affordable health insurance that every American deserves.

There are those who profit from the status quo, or see this debate as a political game, and they will stop at nothing to block reform. They are filling the airwaves and the internet with outrageous falsehoods to scare people into opposing change. And some people, not surprisingly, are getting pretty nervous. So we've got to get out there, fight lies with truth, and set the record straight.

That's why Organizing for America is putting together thousands of events this month where you can reach out to neighbors, show your support, and make certain your members of Congress know that you're counting on them to act.

But these canvasses, town halls, and gatherings only make a difference if you turn up to knock on doors, share your views, and show your support. So here's what I need from you:

In politics, there's a rule that says when you ask people to get involved, always tell them it'll be easy. Well, let's be honest here: Passing comprehensive health insurance reform will not be easy. Every President since Harry Truman has talked about it, and the most powerful and experienced lobbyists in Washington stand in the way.

But every day we don't act, Americans watch their premiums rise three times faster than wages, small businesses and families are pushed towards bankruptcy, and 14,000 people lose their coverage entirely. The cost of inaction is simply too much for the people of this nation to bear.

So yes, fixing this crisis will not be easy. Our opponents will attack us every day for daring to try. It will require time, and hard work, and there will be days when we don't know if we have anything more to give. But there comes a moment when we all have to choose between doing what's easy, and doing what's right.

This is one of those times. And moments like this are what this movement was built for. So, are you ready?

Please commit now to taking at least one action in your community this month to build support for health insurance reform:

Let's seize this moment and win this historic victory for our economy, our health and our families.

This is the moment our movement was built for.

For one month, the fight for health insurance reform -- YOU LYING B.O.ZO! IT ISN'T HEALTH INSURANCE REFORM; IT'S A U.S. GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER OF ALL HEALTHCARE IN FREAKIN' AMERICA!! -- leaves the backrooms of Washington, D.C., and returns to communities across America. Throughout August, members of Congress are back home, where the hands they shake and the voices they hear will not belong to lobbyists, but to people like you. WHICH WOULD BE TRUE IF THEY WEREN'T EITHER COWERING INDOORS, AFRAID TO CONFRONT "WE, THE PEOPLE" BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T A VALID ARGUMENT TO STAND ON, OR STACKING THE DECK WITH OBAMABOTS AT THE SO-CALLED "TOWN HALLS" THEY DO HOLD.

Home is where we're strongest. We didn't win last year's election together at a committee hearing in D.C. We won it LYING on the doorsteps and the phone lines, LYING at the softball games and the town meetings, and LYING in every part of this great country where people gather to talk about what matters most. And if you're willing to step up AND LIE once again, that's exactly where we're going to win this historic campaign for the guaranteed, affordable health insurance that every American deserves, WHICH IS ALSO A BARE-FACED LIE.

"HISTORIC"? DAMNED STRAIGHT; JUST LIKE THE HINDENBERG WAS "HISTORIC."

"GUARANTEED AFFORDABLE"? WHO ARE YOU FOOLIN', YOU LOP-EARED, CHI TOWN, INDO-KENYAN IMPOSTER? YOUR PLAN WILL NOT REDUCE COSTS TO THIS NATION; IT WILL EXPONENTIATE THEM!!

"HEALTH INSURANCE"? AGAIN -- A BALD-FACED LIE. YOUR "PUBLIC OPTION" WILL BE FINANCIALLY CONSTRAINED TO OFFER -- ON THE WHOLE -- A LOWER GRADE OF CARE THAN AMERICANS NOW RECEIVE IF THEY ARE TOTALLY WITHOUT INSURANCE, AND END UP AT AN EMERGENCY ROOM OR CLINIC NEEDING CARE. THAT ISN'T "HEALTH INSURANCE"; IT'S A SLAP IN THE FACE TO EVERY AMERICAN SUBJECTED TO IT, AND TO EVERY CARE PROVIDER FORCED TO TRY AND WORK WITHIN ITS CONFINES!!

There are those who profit from the status quo, -- YES, YOU CONFOUNDED IDIOT, THERE ARE: EVERY AMERICAN IS PROFITED BY THE STATUS QUO; OUR SYSTEM, FOR ALL OF ITS FAULTS, IS THE VERY BEST IN THE KNOWN UNIVERSE, AND WE ALL BENEFIT FROM THAT, WHETHER WE'RE INSURED OR NOT!! -- or see this debate as a political game, -- YES, WAXMAN, REID, PELOSI, RAHM IMMANUEL, ACORN, MOVE-ON, AND THE REST OF YOUR FETID CABAL OF DESTRUCTIONIST MINIONS AROUND THE COUNTRY; NONE OF YOU GIVE A RAT'S ASS FOR ANY AMERICAN UNLESS IT ADVANCES YOUR PROFANE AGENDA! -- and they will stop at nothing to block reform. AND THAT'S THE FIRST THING YOU'VE SAID RIGHT: WE'LL STOP AT NOTHING TO KILL THIS "REFORM" AND BURY IT PERMANENTLY, BECAUSE IT ISN'T "REFORM"; IT'S "DESTRUCTION" PLAIN AND SIMPLE!! They are filling the airwaves and the internet with outrageous falsehoods to scare people into opposing change. OH YEAH?? YOU CAN'T EVEN NAME ONE OF THESE PURPORTED "FALSEHOODS," AND THE REASON IS -- THERE ARE NONE!! And some people, not surprisingly, are getting pretty nervous. THAT'S ENTIRELY TRUE, AND THE REASON THEY'RE NERVOUS IS THAT THEY CAN SEE RIGHT THROUGH YOU; THEY HAVE READ THE BILL (UNLIKE MOST OF CONGRESS), AND THEY KNOW WHAT'S IN IT (UNLIKE YOU, MR. PRES__ENT), AND THEY WANT NONE OF IT!! So we've got to get out there, fight lies with truth, and set the record straight.YOU'VE NEVER SET A RECORD STRAIGHT IN YOUR ENTIRE, MISERABLE, FOREIGN-BORN, MUSLIM, RACE-BAITING, AGITATING, MARXIST TOTALITARIAN EXISTENCE, AND YOU'RE NOT ABOUT TO START NOW!! WE'VE NO EDUCATIONAL RECORDS, WE'VE NO BIRTH RECORDS, WE'VE NO RECORD OF ANY ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS, NO RECORD OF ANY LEGISLATION YOU AUTHORED AND PASSED -- YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE ZERO!!

That's why Organizing for America is putting together thousands of events this month where you can reach out to neighbors, show your support, and make certain your members of Congress know that you're counting on them to act.

But these canvasses, town halls, and gatherings only make a difference if you turn up to knock on doors, share your views, and show your support. So here's what I need from you:

Can you commit to join at least one event in your community this month?

In politics, there's a rule that says when you ask people to get involved, always tell them it'll be easy. Well, let's be honest here: WHAT!?!? DON'T PISS ON MY LEG AND TELL ME IT'S RAINING!!! HONEST?? YOU?? HAR-DEE-HAR-HAR!! Passing comprehensive health insurance reform will not be easy. TRUE. IF THERE'S A LOVING GOD IN HEAVEN, AND A HANDFUL OF PATRIOTS WHO WILL RELY ON HIM, IT WILL BE UTTERLY IMPOSSIBLE!! Every President since Harry Truman has talked about it, and the most powerful and experienced lobbyists in Washington stand in the way. AND "WE, THE PEOPLE" STAND FIRMLY WITH THOSE LOBBYISTS, JUST AS WE STAND FIRMLY WITH SANITY, LIBERTY, FREEDOM, JUSTICE, AND LIMITED GOVERNMENT!!

But every day we don't act, Americans watch their premiums rise three times faster than wages, small businesses and families are pushed towards bankruptcy, and 14,000 people lose their coverage entirely. The cost of inaction is simply too much for the people of this nation to bear. BUT THE COST OF ACTING ACCORDING TO YOUR PLAN WOULD BE FAR WORSE!!

So yes, fixing this crisis will not be easy. Our opponents will attack us every day for daring to try. YES, BECAUSE YOUR IDEA OF A "CURE" IS TEN TIMES WORSE THAN THE DISEASE ITSELF!! It will require time, and hard work, and there will be days when we don't know if we have anything more to give. But there comes a moment when we all have to choose between doing what's easy, and doing what's right. SO VERY TRUE, AND "WHAT'S RIGHT" IN THIS CASE IS TO SEND YOUR SO-CALLED "REFORM" BILL BACK TO THE BOWELS OF HELL FROM WHENCE IT ERUPTED, WITH A RESOUNDING, SEARING, MIND-BREAKING DEFEAT WROUGHT BY THE INDEPENDENT VOICES OF MILLIONS OF EVERYDAY AMERICANS SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER!!

This is one of those times. And moments like this are what this movement was built for. So, are you ready?

Please commit now to taking at least one action in your community this month to build support for health insurance reform:
