Email From "Organizing For America" (Obama)
Organizing For America...(DNC) | September 2, 2009 | Mitch Stewart

John H --

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,

Mitch

Good post and thanks for sharing.

Odd how with ALL THE MONEY OBAMA raised during his campaign, he can’t find some way to USE HIS MONEY. Laws don’t matter to Obama so he has no excuse. Now he wants to soak his base for MORE money. This is so typical of the liberal elite.

Maybe we fear that they want to euthanize the elderly because that is what Obama’s advisers are on record supporting.

Obama is the biggest lobbyist out there for self serving reasons.

Well it won't be a "government" take over. It will be something even worse.

Taken direct from the SEIU bylaws

We must organize unorganized Healthcare workers, extending to them the gains of unionism while securing control over the Healthcare industry.

I wonder if barackobama.com receives any sort of taxpayer funding. If so, it would be illegal to use to in this way.

Their own cited words, and printed words in the form of the health care plan, belie their emails.

And I do believe it means they will keep lying and pushing their agenda until they get it through or die trying. They are shocked at the flack they are getting and we cannot let up for a split second on any of their control moves.

The way the Dems are acting is an explicit explanation of why their agenda would not work. The world is too full of power/money mad people to ever allow us to keep existing, much less prospering under a Fascist, Communist, Socialist regime placed under the UN and a world court.

What is amazing is these fools and their money are easily parted.

"We must organize unorganized Healthcare workers, extending to them the gains of unionism while securing control over the Healthcare industry."

My wife and I are responsible for getting SEIU crooks DE-certified from THREE nursing homes, so they aren't doing too well in this area at least.

What we either fail to remember or fail to see is ...

Liberalism is a religion and they are fanatical about it.

Karl Rove was on Hannity last night (? I think it was Hannity), and his estimate was that there are maybe only 5 million who are really “falling through the cracks” on health care due to no insurance or no money, and seemed to feel that many of these are transient/temporarily in this position. His point was that it is completely ridiculous to change the entire system instead of trying to solve the problem for the few. I hope that message is getting out somehow.

Others take large campaign contributions from those who profit.

Isn't this a classic example of the physcological term "projection" - i.e. accusing your opponent of exactly what you are doing?

Projection From Dictionary.com

11. Psychology. a. the tendency to ascribe to another person feelings, thoughts, or attitudes present in oneself, or to regard external reality as embodying such feelings, thoughts, etc., in some way.

b. Psychoanalysis. such an ascription relieving the ego of a sense of guilt or other intolerable feeling.

Thanks for posting this.

And some don't want to die when some GS-9 at a desk in Washington tells them that it is time to stop all treatment and take the blue pill.

If you look at their bylaws, they promise a lot of things that I believe are highly illegal. There’s really some pretty astounding stuff in there.

For instance.

If every SEIU local in Michigan wants to disassociate from the SEIU, only 7 members have to oppose to overrule thousands without debate.

A political “worker” at every worksite.

Expanding membership regardless of immigration status.

Register all SEIU members to vote (apparently regardless of immigration status)

The 47 million number is cut down quite a bit once you remove illegals, young people who can afford insurance but don’t buy it and those who could be on current welfare programs but aren’t.

OFA is hosting a "Health Reform NOW!" rally full of trained (and paid?) shouters and poster-wavers on the steps of the Georgia Capitol in Atlanta this Thursday, Sept 3 at high noon. It would be a shame if some of those hateful, racist, power-mongering anti-reform people showed up.
