SPECIAL
ALERT -- WHERE TO GET THE TRUTH
TO COUNTER THE IGNORANT ZOMBIES
|
 |
| Mary
Lynn & Mickel -- |
In the last few months, we've made more progress on health
insurance reform than we made in the previous 60 years. You can
tell from the reaction of reform opponents that we're doing
something right.
Special interests who profit from the status quo are spreading
brazen lies that stir up anger, and Republican leaders are
chiming in with over-the-top rhetoric that detracts from the
public debate. Just last week, Rush Limbaugh insinuated that
President Obama was comparable to Adolf Hitler.
It's a perfect example of "the old politics of fear and
division" that President Obama talked about during his
campaign. But there is too much at stake, too many Americans
facing rising health care costs and shrinking paychecks, for us
to let the politics of yesterday prevail.
The last thing opponents of reform want is a positive, civil
debate. They know they'll lose on the merits, so they're turning
to lies and division. It's up to us to expose each distortion
for what it is: a lie, plain and simple. If we do that, we'll
better our politics -- and bring badly-needed reform.
Monday, the White House launched a new online resource that
could help -- a "Reality Check" site to help Americans
clear up health care lies and misinformation. Visit
the site today -- and then send it to your friends so that
everyone you know learns the truth.
Whether it's a parent wondering how reform will affect seniors,
an old friend confused about a lie they've heard, or just a
concerned co-worker, we all know someone with questions about
reform. The "Reality Check" site answers those
questions and sets the record straight on lies that have been
circulating.
But it's up to each of you to make sure they see it -- so make
sure to send it their way today.
With news of disruptions at some town halls, it's easy to forget
the progress we've made. But because of your continued
commitment, the tide is turning. Supporters of reform now
outnumber opponents at many town halls. And when we win the
fight for health insurance reform, it will be not only a
momentous accomplishment, but a sign that it's possible to
defeat the angry politics of the past.
There are too many folks in Washington who are willing to lie
for partisan gain, or engage in hateful rhetoric to score
political points, for reform to come easily. We all need to step
up -- and it starts with you passing along "Reality
Check" today:

We face too many challenges together -- we can't afford to
continue the slash and burn politics of yesterday. Please stand
with me and fight for the truth.
Thank you,
Governor Tim Kaine
Chairman

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,

Subject: This is getting ugly
To: Michael Adzema
Dear
MoveOn member,
It's
getting ugly out there.
All
across the country, right-wing extremists are disrupting congressional
town-hall meetings with venomous attacks on President Obama's plans for
health care and clean energy.
- Last
night in Tampa, Florida, a town hall meeting erupted into violence,
with the police being called to break up fist fights and shoving
matches.1
- A
Texas Democrat was shouted down by right-wing hecklers, many of whom
admitted they didn't even live in his district.2
- One
North Carolina representative announced he wouldn't be holding any
town-hall meetings after his office began receiving death threats.3
- And
in Maryland, protesters hung a Democratic congressman in effigy to
oppose health-care reform.4
We've
got a plan to fight back against these radical right-wingers. We've
hired skilled grassroots organizers who are working with thousands of
local volunteers to show Congress that ordinary Americans continue to
support President Obama's agenda for change. And we're building new
online tools to track events across the country and make sure MoveOn
members turn out at each one.
But
we need to scale up our efforts quickly to make sure this plan works. To
really swing into action during this month's congressional recess, we
need to raise at least $250,000 immediately. Can you chip in $25 to
support our work?
https://pol.moveon.org/donate/august.html?id=16748-7967853-cjmRFzx&t=1
If the
shouts of the right-wing mobs are the only voices our senators and
representatives hear over the recess, we'll have a hard time passing
health care and clean energy legislation.
That's
why we're launching our Heat Up Congress campaign so quickly to fight
back, using new technology to implement rapid response town hall
turnout, organizing personal phone calls from small business leaders and
donors to their representatives, running new ads, and activating an
energized network of on-the-ground organizers and volunteers.
This
month could decide the future of health care and clean energy in
America—and we're already one week in. If you've been sitting on the
sidelines, now's the time to get involved. Talk to your neighbors, go to
a town hall meeting—and today, please chip in $25 to support our work:
https://pol.moveon.org/donate/august.html?id=16748-7967853-cjmRFzx&t=2
Thanks
for all you do.
