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,

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.
Gee, I wonder where all of this money will go?
Oooooooooooo! The STATUS QUO!!!!1!1!1!1!1!!!! zOMG!
That’s their new ‘buzz phrase’ for the year. It’s hilarious to hear libtard obamabots use it.
I wonder if barackobama.com receives any sort of taxpayer funding. If so, it would be illegal to use to in this way.
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.
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.
Liberalism is a religion and they are fanatical about it.
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.
