The Democratic Party
Michael --
This evening, at 11:15 p.m., the House of Representatives voted to pass their health insurance reform bill. Despite countless attempts over nearly a century, no chamber of Congress has ever before passed comprehensive health reform. This is history.
But you and millions of your fellow supporters didn't just witness history tonight -- you helped make it. Each "yes" vote was a brave stand, backed up by countless hours of knocking on doors, outreach in town halls and town squares, millions of signatures, and hundreds of thousands of calls. You stood up. You spoke up. And you were heard.
So this is a night to celebrate -- but not to rest. Those who voted for reform deserve our thanks, and the next phase of this fight has already begun.
The final Senate bill hasn't even been released yet, but the insurance companies are already pressing hard for a filibuster to bury it. The Democratic Party and Organizing for America have built a massive neighborhood-by-neighborhood operation to bring people's voices to Congress, and tonight we saw the results. But the coming days will put our efforts to the ultimate test. Winning will require each of us to give everything we can, starting right now.
Please donate $5 or whatever you can afford so we can finish this fight.
Tonight's vote brought every American closer to the secure, affordable care we need. But it was also a watershed moment in how change is made.
Even after last year's election, many insider lobbyists and partisan operatives really thought that the old formula of scare tactics, D.C. back-scratching and special-interest money would still be enough to block any idea they didn't like. Now, they're desperate. Because, tonight, you made it crystal clear: the old rules are changing -- and the people will not be ignored.
In the final phases of last year's election, I often reminded folks, "Don't think for a minute that power concedes without a fight," and it's especially true today. But that's okay -- we're not afraid of a fight. And as you continue to prove, when all of us work together, we have what it takes to win.
Please donate to OFA's campaign to win this fight and ensure that real health reform reaches my desk by the end of this year:

Organizing for America

One year ago today, you made history.
We all knew that electing Barack Obama President was only the opportunity to bring about change; that we would all have to keep working to fulfill the promise our victory offered.
And you've come through -- by making hundreds of thousands of calls to Congress to push health reform forward, by pouring your effort into seemingly insurmountable challenges time and again, and, since January, by building on the power of our campaign to create Organizing for America.
And now, with the finish line on health reform in sight, we need your voice more than ever before.
To mark this special day, President Obama just recorded a video for supporters like you -- please watch his message, and sign up to join OFA in your community today.
Thank you so much for fighting so hard and giving so much to make the promise of a stronger, more just and prosperous America in the years ahead a reality:

Untitled Document

Michael --
A lot of folks use Facebook to stay in touch with friends and family. For Sarah Palin, it's a great way to spread lies about health insurance reform.
A few months back, Palin took to Facebook to declare that health reform would create "death panels," and drive private insurers out of business -- and nonpartisan fact-check sites and the independent Congressional Budget Office debunked those lies.
But that hasn't stopped Sarah Palin. She's back with a new Facebook note claiming that reform will raise costs on families and drive up deficits. Unfortunately for her, even the conservative "Tax Foundation" says those claims are false.
So we're calling out Sarah Palin, and taking to Facebook to debunk her lies on the very same pages she's using to spread them.
Call 'em out: Sarah Palin. Watch the video, make a call, spread the word on Facebook.
We've put together a short Facebook note cataloging just some of Sarah Palin's many distortions and the facts that prove her wrong. But we need your help to "share" the note and make sure she doesn't get away with her outrageous lies.
If Sarah Palin wants to spread lies on Facebook, we'll call her out in the very same place. And when thousands of folks share our note and expose her lies, it will be clear that those who lie about reform will be held accountable -- no matter where they spread their misinformation.
The more we push back with the truth, the more Sarah Palin and others like her will have to think twice before they promote lies, and the less they'll be able to derail progress.
Even if you don't have a Facebook account, you can still help us call out Sarah Palin. Visit Call 'em Out: Sarah Palin to watch our video detailing her lies and to call Palin's political organization and say, "stop lying."
Rising health care costs are crushing American families and squeezing small businesses. Reform will reign in costs and cut the deficit in the long run -- that's why it's so important, and why Sarah Palin's lies are so malicious.
We're not letting it stand. We're calling Sarah Palin out:

From: info@barackobama.com Subject: A call to action
Obama for America
Mickel --
This morning, Michelle and I awoke to some surprising and humbling news. At 6 a.m., we received word that I'd been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009.
To be honest, I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who've been honored by this prize -- men and women who've inspired me and inspired the entire world through their courageous pursuit of peace.
But I also know that throughout history the Nobel Peace Prize has not just been used to honor specific achievement; it's also been used as a means to give momentum to a set of causes.
That is why I've said that I will accept this award as a call to action, a call for all nations and all peoples to confront the common challenges of the 21st century. These challenges won't all be met during my presidency, or even my lifetime. But I know these challenges can be met so long as it's recognized that they will not be met by one person or one nation alone.
This award -- and the call to action that comes with it -- does not belong simply to me or my administration; it belongs to all people around the world who have fought for justice and for peace. And most of all, it belongs to you, the men and women of America, who have dared to hope and have worked so hard to make our world a little better.
So today we humbly recommit to the important work that we've begun together. I'm grateful that you've stood with me thus far, and I'm honored to continue our vital work in the years to come.
Thank you,
President Barack Obama

Untitled Document

Mary Lynn & Mickel --
"A gross distortion." "Pants on fire!" "False." That's what the independent PolitiFact site said about Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann's health reform lies.
In fact, PolitiFact has rated six of her statements, and all of them have been either "false" or "pants on fire" false. As PolitiFact's Bill Adair said, "she has the distinction of a perfect record."
Let that sink in for a second. Together, we've made thousands of calls and written hundreds of letters calling out folks who are lying about reform. But Bachmann is in a class all to herself.
Too many Americans live with the painful consequences of our broken health care system to let Bachmann's reckless lies go unchecked. So this week, we're calling her out.
Call 'em out: Michele Bachmann. Watch the video, call her office, spread the word.
In the last week, while Republicans such as former Senator Bill Frist and former Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson were putting progress ahead of partisanship by speaking constructively about reform, Rep. Bachmann was on the floor of the House of Representatives spreading fear and lies yet again.
And Bachmann specializes in making lies personal -- like her outrageous claim that Ezekiel Emanuel, one of President Obama's health care advisers, believes health care should be reserved for the non-disabled -- so "watch out if you're disabled." ("We rule Bachmann's statement 'False,'" says PolitiFact).
Bachmann has promoted the death panels lie ("False," say the Associate Press and New York Times). She's lied about illegal immigrants receiving taxpayer-subsidized care under reform. And she claimed reform was a "national takeover of health care." The nonpartisan FactCheck.org plainly refuted her on both accounts.
Last week, she even claimed reform will create "sex clinics" at schools, allowing students to have abortions without parental consent. That earned her one of her many "pants on fire!" false ratings from PolitiFact.
It all adds up to someone who will tell any lie, distort any fact, and shamelessly scare folks about reform in order to kill it. We've had enough -- so we're calling her out:

Michael --
While millions of Americans deal with the painful consequences of our broken health care system, the insurance lobby is spending millions to try to delay and kill health reform.
So we need to speak up, drown out the lobbyists, and send a message to Congress: It's time to deliver on health reform.
Read the email below from Organizing for America director Mitch Stewart, and then help us generate 100,000 calls to Congress by calling your representatives today:
http://www.democrats.org/TTDCall
Thanks,
Jen
---------------Original Message---------------
From: Mitch Stewart, BarackObama.com
Subject: 100,000 calls to Congress
Friend --
Jenny U. from Missouri did what any parent would: When her son needed a kidney, she donated one of hers. But she didn't realize insurance companies would use her kindness as an excuse to never cover her again, calling her donation a "pre-existing condition."
Now, insurance companies are spending millions on a campaign of lies to kill health reform that would help folks like Jenny. So, today, with crucial negotiations taking place in Congress, we're raising our voices and making it clear: It's time to deliver on reform.
We've set a big goal: 100,000 calls to Congress made or committed to in a single day. To hit it, we'll need your help -- will you take 3 minutes to call Congress now?
Call your representatives and tell them: It's Time to Deliver on health reform.
Health insurance reform is finally ready for consideration by the full Congress, and hundreds of insurance company lobbyists on Capitol Hill are working overtime to kill it. Calling is quick and easy, but effective -- and your voice has tremendous power at this critical moment.
After you make your call, tell the staffer who picks up where you live and that you're counting on Congress to deliver on health reform. Let them know that Americans like you support the President's plan -- and that if your representatives are working to pass it, they have your thanks.
If we hit 100,000 calls made or committed to, we'll send an unmistakable signal that this time, families must come before insurance companies. We'll be tracking progress toward our goal publicly -- make sure to report your call back to us so we can count it:

After months of negotiations, the health reform debate is about to move to the full Congress for the first time. With the insurance industry lobby pulling out all the stops to derail progress, we need everyone who supports reform to weigh in. So here's the plan: Set a new OFA record by getting 100,000 calls to Congress placed or committed to on a single day.
On Tuesday, October 20th, OFA volunteers will gather at "Time to Deliver" call parties and neighborhood outreach events across the country. We'll get together in living rooms and public locations, and reach out to friendly voters whose voices are particularly critical in this debate. We'll talk to them about the President's plan and then we'll ask them to call on their representatives to support reform.
President Obama will be joining a call party and then speaking directly to all the other events that evening via an exclusive live webcast, sharing the latest info on the fight for reform and our campaign for change.
It's an ambitious plan -- and it depends on you. Find a "Time to Deliver" event near you, or sign up to host one in your area.
Participating (or hosting) is surprisingly easy. No special experience is required, and we'll provide simple step-by-step instructions. You'll gather with friends, neighbors, and OFA supporters from nearby, and together you'll have a great time while making a huge difference.
We're closer to health reform now than we've ever been, but we must not take anything for granted. The insurance industry is throwing millions of dollars a day and an army of lobbyists at Congress to stop reform.
If we can get 100,000 calls to Congress placed or committed to on a single day it will ensure the people's voices are heard louder than the lobbyists -- but it won't be easy. Everything hinges on folks like you stepping up and joining in.
Can we count on you? Please sign up to attend or host a Time to Deliver event on October 20th:

After fighting health reform with lies, deceit, and multi-million dollar ad campaigns, the health insurance lobby -- America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) -- recently released a report on the "effects of health reform." Surprise! It's full of flawed claims that reform would increase costs
Many journalists and experts called the report "deceptive" and "implausible." Even the firm that wrote it now admits they only looked at parts of the health reform plan -- because that's what the insurance lobby paid them to do. It's exactly what we should expect from an industry that's been fighting tooth and nail to kill reform, and is now preparing an all-out assault.
We're not going to take it sitting down. So this week, we're calling out the health insurance lobby.
The lobby has invested millions trying to convince Congress to oppose reform. So this week, we're not simply debunking lies: The best way to Call 'em Out is to cut through the spin and tell our representatives to say "no" to deceitful lobbyists and "yes" to reform.
Call 'em Out: Health Insurance Lobby. Send a message urging Congress to stand with voters, not lobbyists.
This isn't the first time the health insurance lobby has lied, cheated, or used misleading reports. This false report is just the latest salvo in a multi-million dollar offensive that appears designed to frighten voters and bully Congress into opposing reform.
In fact, just days after releasing the report, the lobby announced they will spend a million dollars on a television ad filled with debunked claims of Medicare cuts that could scare seniors away from supporting health reform.
We need your help to call out the insurance lobby and make sure our representatives understand that we're counting on them to stand strong against their pressure.
Visit Call 'em Out: Health Insurance Lobby, and help fight back. Share a video debunking the health insurance lobby's lies with your friends. Spread the word about their deceit on Facebook and Twitter. And most importantly, tell your members of Congress to say "no" to insurance lobby pressure.
Soon, health reform will be taken up by the entire House and Senate, and the insurance lobby will take their attacks to a new level. Their lies will grow more extreme -- and it will be more important than ever that our voices are louder than those of the Washington lobbyists.
Call out the health insurance lobby today:

Subject: Swine Flu & the vaccine
I just received this email. Thought I
would pass it along. It goes along with what Andrea was told yesterday
when she took Taylor to the ER. The nurse was talking to Andrea and
she advised her not to take it or give it to the kids.
She said that anyone who takes the vaccine is infectious to others for up to 3 days.
My great-niece in California took the vaccine last week and within 2 or 3 days she was diagnosed with swine flu.
Something for all to think about.
-Mary Beth
No one should take the swine flu vaccine—it
is one of the most dangerous vaccines ever devised. It contains an
immune adjuvant called squalene (MF-59) which has been shown to cause
severe autoimmune disorders such as MS, rheumatoid arthritis and Lupus. This is the vaccine adjuvant that is strongly linked to the Gulf War syndrome, which killed over 10,000
soldiers and caused a 200% increase in the fatal disease ALS (Lou Gehreg disease). This virus H1N1 kills by causing a “ cytokine storm”,
which means that it cause the body’s immune system to overreact and
that is why it is killing young people and is a mild disease in the
elderly. (The elderly have weakened immune systems.)
This vaccine is a very powerful immune stimulator and carries the real
possibility of making the lethality of the virus much greater.
One’s best protection is vitamin D3. One should take 5000
IU a day now and when the disease begins to spread increase the dose to
15,000 IU a day. Vitamin D3
modulates the immun reaction, reducing the chance of an overreaction
and stimulates the body to produce what are called antimicrobial
peptides, which are powerful killers of viruses that does not involve
immunity. This is dose related, which means the higher the dose of
vitamin D3 the better the protection. Fish oils (the best is Carlson’s
Norwegian lemon flavored fish oil) also reduce immune overreaction. One
teaspoon a day should be sufficient. For severe symptoms, one
teaspoon twice a day. Antioxidants of various kins also help—this
includes, quercetin, curcumin, grapeseed extract, vitamin C and natural
vitamin E. A good multivitamin/mineral such as Extend Core ( www.vrp.com)
is also essential.
Feel free to spread this around. People need to know how to
protect themselves.

leaves of autumn - beaten down bedraggled remnants of Reagan's
"tinkle-down-piss-on-the-poor" and Bush's "you're on your own, the rich

use what they know to help. Bums are experts now sought by newbie
corporate “suits” for tips on dumpster-diving. Sillymickel also helps,
passing on his nutritional & hippie tips. Expect him next among the
homeless millions, entire families, crowding America's cities. Former
proud corporate lackeys clutch their useless laptops in pathetic

Open Letter of Congratulations to our Noble, Honorable President, Barack Obama
Congratulations, President Obama!!
My story is that I started writing again -- after a 9 year fallow period; mostly afraid to speak my mind politically while Bush was in power -- about a week or two after you were inaugurated. You have brought incredible joy back into my life and that of my wife's (I'm 59; she's74 years old). I have written that the fact that you were elected, an authentic person, is an auspicious sign that "Something Wonderful is Going to Happen." You were too young, but with John Lennon and people like him of my generation, we felt that  wonderful things could only happen. But then the moneyed interests changed what was taught in universities, changed what was allowed to be published in books, changed what the media would report, and changed what the history books would say -- having been witness to some of these events I am aware of how even our history has been shaped to suit the super-rich.
I had given up hope. You gave me back my hope. Don't let us down, Barack. I don't think you know how twisted are the brains of Republicans. Joe Biden and I come from the same part of the country, and he speaks plain talk. Listen to him tell it straight. But thanks for renewing my life and my wife's. We are fully in your corner, speaking out on many blogs and websites.
This is wonderful that the world recognizes your heart and your steadiness. Please don't let the snakes snooker you. It's one thing to know of the audacity of hope and to look toward the light, but as your forefathers did when traveling the Underground Railroad, keep your ears and eyes to the back also to keep an eye on the dogs, the guns, and the wild eyes. They want you down. Please don't let them. Continue to stand tall and noble and following your divine inner wisdom as to the right thing to do for all the people. God will support you -- the good and loving one. And all but the sad zombie Americans will too; and that is at least two-thirds for whom it is obvious you are a sincere, hard-working man, with no hidden agenda, no need to lie, and you are what you appear to be; you are authentic.
Don't forget those two-thirds of Americans witnessed just before you a President who is running hard to be tagged the biggest liar we've ever had in that high office, by many counts he is far ahead of everyone. Your manner is such a contrast to him -- his awkward stiff talks before hand-picked crowds bespoke the incredible struggle he had to try to keep the tangled web from becoming soooo obvious that even he would be embarrassed by his pathetic fictions concocted only to distract American's eyes from the abject thievery that went on unabated for eight years. Your relaxed easygoing manner contrasted with your predecessor's fervid paranoid one sends out a message of calmness to even the suffering that this America's captain can command the complexities he faces and has come into office seeking only a better America for us all rather than obscene and increasingly obese profits for a few. With such clear and transparent example, you may even win over some of the crazies. Some. The world and America loves you when you speak and act authentically and righteously and do not give an inch to the filthy rich zombies who have stolen from this country and brought the world to its knees.
Indeed for my wife and me, they have taken all our money and our house. But we will be going around the country, traveling in our RV, and helping suffering people, and helping promote the causes that you and I both believe in. You know, I was a community organizer too. I, with a group of others, and with our mutual friend Peter deFazio, brought down nuclear power in this country by creating the largest bond default in history on the grounds that the people of the Northwest were going to be indebted to the tune of$8,000 per household because of the corruption by the rich in the WPPS scandal. But we beat them by finding democratic law on the books in Springfield, Oregon that did not allow public officials to in-debt their constituents over a certain amount without there being a vote. Since there was no vote, the court declared that the people of Springfield could not be charged with the exorbitant misdeeds of the mad investors. Not much different from what happened before you came into office, except the rich this time did get away with it.
Please be strong. Democracy is not just an olive branch; it is a hammer against the thugs that would rob the people of a decent life. Remember your mother and her last days. That is not America. But then again, it is America now, even though the rest of the Western Civilized World would not have allowed such a thing as happened to your mother. We need to become noble again. The whole world is supporting you, this prize is an indication of that. Put the Republican crazies behind you just as Jesus said, "get thee behind me Satan."
You will have immense strength. Sathya Sai Baba will not let you fail. You must continue to speak out against this continual rising of wealth into the hands of the very few and this descent into Dickens' England for the 97% of the rest of us. God gave you all you need to keep the U.S. from becoming another Mexico, or some other third world country.
So, congratulations! You know the world is with you; please remember that an unusually high percentage of Americans are too. Do not be afraid to use your hammer. Remember presidents who were called "trust-busters" and of whom they said "Give 'em hell, Harry." You are that kind of President. Stay strong, be bold. We've got your back, my friend. I thank you for taking on this job. My wife prays for you; and my actions are my prayers to educate people to the correctness of what you do and the, well, idiocy and mean-spiritedness, of those that oppose you.
Take strength in the love of us millions, knowing that we are all One, and that you cannot fall without all of us falling.
Do the great things you are capable of. There are many of us at this time dedicating our lives and making the big push now, with you in office, as we have waited since November 23rd, 1963 for the lying times to end and for there to be the chance that Kennedy once opened our minds to see. That time is now. It is our time, It is your time to lead. You have been blessed with the skills....
and this time
this time,
we shall not fail
we shall not fail.
We SHALL overcome.
OK, now, Barack. Got Nobel Prize?
Got Nobel Prize? Ok.
Ok then.
Fired up?
Ready to go?
Fired up?
Ready to go?
Good then. Because we sure as hell are too.
Congratulations on this great honor.
Now be it, like you know you can.
All the best.

Mary Lynn & Mickel --
We woke up yesterday to tremendous news: The Nobel Committee has awarded this year's Peace Prize to President Barack Obama.
The President made a conscious decision from the beginning of his presidency to promote American ideals through re-invigorated diplomacy, talking to rivals as well as allies, and inspiring us all to put what binds us together ahead of what pushes us apart. Yesterday's news is a clear sign that the United States has returned to its long-standing role as a world leader.
It's also a reminder of why we all worked so hard to elect Barack Obama as president of the United States. Hearing the President announce that he will accept the award as a "call to action," I was inspired once again:
"...I know that throughout history, the Nobel Peace Prize has not just been used to honor specific achievement; it's also been used as a means to give momentum to a set of causes. And that is why I will accept this award as a call to action -- a call for all nations to confront the common challenges of the 21st century."
The news has left me deeply proud to be an American. So I want to congratulate President Obama, and give every American the opportunity to join me in saying "Congratulations, Mr. President."
Send a message of congratulations to the President.
President Obama's efforts to bring world leaders together are helping the people of the world face monumental challenges like nuclear arms proliferation, conflict resolution and climate change. His deep commitment to constructive solution and building alliances is bringing about a safer America and a more peaceful world.
It's exactly the change we fought so hard for.
The prize reflects a world that all Americans want to build. For our nation, it brings a sense of enormous pride. But it also brings a sense of deep humility about the work that remains if we are to resolve the global problems facing humanity.
As President Obama continues to work for a world in which conflicts are resolved peacefully and prosperity is widely shared, we will stand with him. And today, we're taking a moment to simply say, "Congratulations":

Sincerely,
Governor Tim Kaine
Chairman

Dear Mickel,
Switch to Safer Technologies
More than 100 million Americans are at risk of injury or death in the event of an accident or terrorist attack on any of the 6,300 plants that the Department of Homeland Security has identified as high risk. Urge your member of Congress to support comprehensive chemical security legislation (H.R. 2868 and H.R. 3258 as introduced) and vote for strengthening amendments and oppose weakening amendments when this legislation comes before your Committee this fall. Take action
On Thin Ice - Arctic Sunrise documents Arctic Impacts of global warming
Since mid-July, our ship the Arctic Sunrise has been in the Arctic documenting the impacts of global warming on Greenland’s glaciers. A team of Greenpeace campaigners and independent scientists onboard the ship have carried out some groundbreaking work to understand the mechanisms that are contributing to the unprecedented meltdown of Arctic ice over the past several years. Just last week, it was reported that the minimum area of summer Arctic sea-ice extent has plummeted to the third-lowest level ever in recorded history.

The Age of Stupid global premier event
This evening, the largest live film event will be held to celebrate the premier of the movie The Age of Stupid. Over 400 movie theaters across the US, as well as theaters in 45 countries around the world, will participate in the “simulcast” of the Green Carpet event held in New York City. Greenpeace partnered with the makers of the film, which is a stark warning about the perils of inaction on global warming, because we felt the movie delivers a powerful and timely message.
The movie is part documentary, part sci-fi flick, and stars Oscar-nominated actor Pete Postlethwaite as an old man living in the global warming-ravaged world of 2055 watching actual archive footage from 2008 and desperately wondering: Why didn't we stop climate change while we had the chance?

Dear Mickel,
Tuna: A Favorite Fish Faces Dangerous Depletion ... Commercial Fishing Disaster Declared as Salmon Stocks Plunge ... Billion-dollar, ‘Best-managed’ Fishery a Disaster ... Fish Study Delivers Grim News ...
The headlines are dire for global fish stocks - over two-thirds of the world's wild fish stocks are currently fished at or above maximum sustainable levels. It is clear that we are on the brink of irreversible damage to our oceans. Greenpeace has a real solution to ensure the protection of our oceans. In a paper published in the leading scientific journal Science, marine biologists projected that most commercial fisheries would collapse by 2048 if current trends continue.
Your gift today to support Greenpeace and our campaign for global marine reserves will be doubled through a generous donor match. A gift of $25 will immediately be matched to become $50, or a gift of $100 will become $200.
Marine reserves - areas closed to fishing, drilling, and other extractive uses - are the greatest hope for protecting and restoring the health of our oceans. A recent follow up to the 2048 paper, identified the effectiveness of marine reserves as a hopeful sign that recovery is still possible.
Our oceans cover over 70 percent of the planet, but only 0.5 percent are protected - compared to 13 percent of protected lands around the world. We're calling for a network of reserves to encompass 40 percent of our world's oceans.
For most of human history, the vast majority of the ocean was a de facto marine reserve, too far offshore or too deep to exploit. Today, with fishing vessels the size of ocean liners plying gear large enough to ensnare skyscrapers and guided by fish-finding technology developed for the military, fish have no place left to hide.
Please don't hesitate to give, there has never been a better time to support our work and we urgently need your help. Your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar until September 30th. Click here to save the oceans.
Ocean protection begins on land, so it's up to us to take action. The oceans are counting on us for their survival.

For the oceans,
John Hocevar
Oceans Campaign Director |
P.S. Thank you so much for your support so far. You've already raised $35,684, which has been generously matched to $71,368. Please help us reach our goal of $50,000 for a match of $100,000.

5 facts about the anti-reform mobs

Mary Lynn & Mickel --
 There's been a lot of media coverage about organized mobs intimidating lawmakers, disrupting town halls, and silencing real discussion about the need for real health insurance reform.
The truth is, it's a sham. These "grassroots protests" are being organized and largely paid for by Washington special interests and insurance companies who are desperate to block reform. They're trying to use lies and fear to break the President and his agenda for change.
Health insurance reform is about our lives, our jobs, and our families -- we can't let distortions and intimidation get in the way. We need to expose these outrageous tactics, and we're counting on you to help. Can you read these "5 facts about the anti-reform mobs," then pass them along to your friends and family?
5 facts about the anti-reform mobs
1. These disruptions are being funded and organized by out-of-district special-interest groups and insurance companies who fear that health insurance reform could help Americans, but hurt their bottom line. A group run by the same folks who made the "Swiftboat" ads against John Kerry is compiling a list of congressional events in August to disrupt. An insurance company coalition has stationed employees in 30 states to track where local lawmakers hold town-hall meetings.
2. People are scared because they are being fed frightening lies. These crowds are being riled up by anti-reform lies being spread by industry front groups that invent smears to tarnish the President's plan and scare voters. But as the President has repeatedly said, health insurance reform will create more health care choices for the American people, not reduce them. If you like your insurance or your doctor, you can keep them, and there is no "government takeover" in any part of any plan supported by the President or Congress.
3. Their actions are getting more extreme. Texas protesters brought signs displaying a tombstone for Rep. Lloyd Doggett and using the "SS" symbol to compare President Obama's policies to Nazism. Maryland Rep. Frank Kratovil was hanged in effigy outside his district office. Rep. Tim Bishop of New York had to be escorted to his car by police after an angry few disrupted his town hall meeting -- and more examples like this come in every day. And they have gone beyond just trying to derail the President's health insurance reform plans, they are trying to "break" the President himself and ruin his Presidency.
4. Their goal is to disrupt and shut down legitimate conversation. Protesters have routinely shouted down representatives trying to engage in constructive dialogue with voters, and done everything they can to intimidate and silence regular people who just want more information. One attack group has even published a manual instructing protesters to "stand up and shout" and try to "rattle" lawmakers to prevent them from talking peacefully with their constituents.
5. Republican leadership is irresponsibly cheering on the thuggish crowds. Republican House Minority Leader John Boehner issued a statement applauding and promoting a video of the disruptions and looking forward to "a long, hot August for Democrats in Congress."
It's time to expose this charade, before it gets more dangerous. Please send these facts to everyone you know. You can also post them on your website, blog, or Facebook page.
Now, more than ever, we need to stand strong together and defend the truth.
Thanks,
Jen
