Tom –On Thursday, Vice President Biden called out the insurance industry’s escalating war on health reform in a special message to OFA, and asked for your help in fighting back.
Sure enough, the insurance industry is already stepping up the attack: 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.
Can you chip in $25 or more today to power our campaign?

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.

All These Things
I got an email today heralding the passing of financial reform. I have often spoke of the tremndous job Obama has done in a very short time, and this snippet says it all.
