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.
Amazing how hard they will work to try to get stuff without working for it.
I guess when it comes to what the people want, it doesn’t make any difference any more. Sure, money is going to be made on both sides. It’s what the people want that counts.
Remember the woman who was overjoyed that she no longer had to worry about paying for her house or her car! She way saying that Obama is going to take care of her bills!
I wonder if she still has her house or her car, or if she has been had like the rest of the Obama supporters?
Their statement is predicated on the belief that ALL Americans are on-board with the Democrats Health Care plans.
Sorry, this American is not On-Board, and I am not impressed at all with the Democratic Program. But am deeply concerned with rationing, prioritization, increased costs and a host of other ills underneath these programs.
All she has is hope. And whatever change a kind passerby will give her. Ah the shattered dreams of the stupid. Those people if you give them free stuff will complain it is not free enough.
looks like they hired the guys who write late-night ads for ShamWow and Slap Chop to write their fundraising letters for them
Eventually, your lies end up returning you to the USSR where there was no GDP.
Thanks O’Dummy.
They hired a panhandler who usually patrols near the American Museum of Natural History on the Mall. He has all the words and moves down pat. He can’t write but dictates well.
Happy 1 year FR anniversary...
Is the OfA a co-operation between the DNC and FUBO’s campaign committee?
Has anyone bothered to tell these people who want this that they will be paying about 60% of their income in taxes if they make more than $30,000 a year for this free healthcare?
