Dear NumbNutz --
We knew healthcare reform would face fierce opposition -- and it's
begun. As we speak,
the same people behind the notorious "swiftboat" ads of 2004 are
already pumping millions of dollars into deceptive television ads.
Their plan is simple: torpedo healthcare reform before it sees the
light of day by scaring the public and distorting the President's
approach.
We need the resources to take them head on with an urgent,
grassroots campaign to pass real healthcare reform in 2009.
When the swiftboaters flood the airwaves with distortions, we'll
flood the streets with volunteers armed with facts. When they send
lobbyists to tell Congress to back down, we'll send millions of
calls, letters, and stories from real Americans asking them to stand
up.
Please donate $5 or more by midnight Sunday to fight back against
these phony attacks and take our message of reform to the American
people.
The swiftboaters are once again trying to sell the American people
short. As during the election, we deserve a serious conversation --
not fear-mongering and deceit. You and I see the importance of
healthcare reform every day. We can't miss this once in a lifetime
opportunity to face one of America's greatest challenges head on.
Passing real healthcare reform will be the toughest, most important
challenge we've faced together since electing Barack Obama
President.
But it's also a big reason we fought so hard to get here. I know
that by working together, and speaking with one, determined voice,
we can prevail over the cynics and defenders of the status quo.
America's families are counting on us to do just that.

Thank you,
