From an email sent out by Barack Obama’s group today, Organizing for America, on the health-care debate:
Reports just leaked from a closed-door meeting where insurance industry lobbyists frantically warned Republican members of Congress that it was not in their interest to "ever vote for this thing" and said supporting reform is like "giving comfort to the enemy." USA Today is reporting that groups opposing reform are lobbying at "a record pace" — and the Associated Press notes that they’ve already spent an astounding $32 million on TV ads this year.
This is what we’re up against. President Obama, Vice President Biden, and all of us together through OFA are fighting back — but success depends on having the resources to win.
In this fight, the insurance industry has their war chest and insider lobbyists. We have you. I know who I’m betting on.
Let’s win this thing.

Yes and after that let’s take on the West Bank colonization program!
