INSURANCE REFORM? NOT MEDICARE FOR ALL. NOT HEALTH CARE REFORM?
Got this in my email in box today, and its from My Barack Obama asking me to
show my support for INSURANCE REFORM.

Organizing for America

All throughout August, our members of Congress are back in town. Insurance companies and partisan attack groups are stirring up fear with false rumors about the President's plan, and it's extremely important that folks like you speak up now.

So we've cooked up an easy, powerful way for you to make a big impression: Office Visits for Health Reform.

All this week, OFA members like you will be stopping by local congressional offices to show our support for insurance reform. You can have a quick conversation with the local staff, tell your personal story, or even just drop off a customized flyer and say that reform matters to you.

We'll provide everything you need: the address, phone number, and open hours for the office, information about how the health care crisis affects your state for you to drop off (with the option of adding your personal story), and a step-by-step guide for your visit.

According to our records, you live near Sen. Richard Burr's office in Winston-Salem, NC.

Sign up now to visit Sen. Richard Burr's office in Winston-Salem this week.

(Not your representative, or think there might be another office that's easier for you to get to? Click here to find a different office.)

As you've probably seen in the news, special interest attack groups are stirring up partisan mobs with lies about health reform, and it's getting ugly. Across the country, members of Congress who support reform are being shouted down, physically assaulted, hung in effigy, and receiving death threats. We can't let extremists hijack this debate, or confuse Congress about where the people stand.

Office Visits for Health Reform are our chance to show that the vast majority of American voters know that the cost of inaction is too high to bear, and strongly support passing health reform in 2009.

Don't worry if you've never done anything like this before. The congressional staff is there to listen, and your opinion as a constituent matters a lot. And if you bring a friend, you'll have more fun and make an even greater impact.

Wherever you live, these visits matter: Many representatives are pushing hard toward reform, and they are taking a lot of heat from special interests. They deserve our thanks and need our support to continue the fight. But those who are still putting insurance companies and partisan point-scoring ahead of their constituents must know that voters are watching -- and that we expect better.

Earlier this week, the President wrote that "this is the moment our movement was built for" and asked us all to commit to join at least one event this month. This is the way to answer that call, and rise to the challenge of this moment together.

Thank you for going the extra mile when it matters the most,

Mitch

1. Yea got the same email and replied I want Single Payer Healthcare Reform....not Health Insurance

Reform to hell with that. I then got a form letter saying they recieved my message and although yada yada yada.

[WillieW]

9. The bill is not completed yet. So we shoul wait until it is before we sound off.

[bkkyosemite]

11. I am for Single Payer which is not what they are pushing through or trying to. HR 676 is the only

fair and equitable way to go for all Americans.

[donco6]

12. No. It's while their working on it that we have a chance.

Once it's written, it's all over.

[Critters2]

2. Yep. Heard them using this term on John King this AM.

My jaw just dropped! Americans want health care reform!!

[orleans]

3. "insurance reform"

great. it will be mandatory for everyone to have insurance.

the insurance companies will make more of a killing than they already do

prisons will be overflowing with people who neglect to buy their mandatory insurance.

the country will rebel and never vote for another democrat again

what happened to the happily ever after i thought we could have?

5. Perhaps you should put down the hashish pipe.

Seriously, get a grip. All this freaking out over testing of different language.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

6. no need for you to project your habits onto others. The letter says INSURANCE REFORM

NOT HEALTH CARE.

No twisting that around. It means alot.

INSURANCE.

[orleans]

13. tell that to howard dean. he was talking about this shit a week or so ago

(i think on rachel's show)

no--more like two weeks ago.

insurance reform is not health care reform

maybe you should put down the fucking "hashpipe" (or bottle!)

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

7. Yes, like Medicare D which insurance companies wrote

the worst part of Medicare is Medicare D, which is a rip off and
elderly have to spend hours and hours every year searching for a different program
cause their old one changed the policy.

And the donut hole.

4. oh, P.S. Don't forget to donate! (fucking pisses me off) I'll donate when I have a public healhplan

[stray cat]

8. It is called "Framing" repubs usually win at it - dems usually are incapable of it

and tend to lose public support as a result.

[dkf]

10. What did you think this was all about anyway?

I figured it out ages ago.

Yes, this is health care INSURANCE reform, nothing more.

Sigh.
