Settle down men. You get too easily excited. I know you were disappointed a bit in Obama but I urge you to consider the scope of his burdens and the tools at his disposal. You realise that this was the first step toward comprehensive Health Insurance Reform. This bill that passed out of Baucus' committee is sort of like a framework bill. If it didn't pass out of the gulag of a committee then you could say anything resembling a Health Insurance Bill is dead on arrival. You must commend Baucus and his committee for the arduous task they had surmounted and I am proud of Olympia Snow. And NO the Baucus Bill does not force anyone to buy health insurance from the Madoffs. That's exactly what got the Madoffs in a tizzy. I want you to join us at Organizing for America so we can accrue more value for the DNC and other conscientious Americans in the ware of the nation. You had to be pissed to send this note 3 friggin times. What do you think about the Free Health Clinics by Dr. Oz and other good Americans????? Are you friggin volunteering? Doctor???

Insurance Madoffs caught with Haruna, I hope you are not donating to organizing for America. What do you expect when you meld the operations of a grassroot organisation with the operations of a political party (DNC) that is afraid of it's own shadow. If they pass the crappy bill that force people to buy health insurance from private insurance companies without a public option, they will demoralise the base and lose at the mid terms big time. Obama might be the second coming of Jimmy Carter. But I digress. Sent from my iPhone On Oct 15, 2009, at 1:47 AM, Haruna Darbo <[log in to unmask]> wrote: their pants down. Price-Waterhouse Coopers/Lybrand sets the record straight. Haruna. Haruna -- Despite increasingly desperate attacks from the insurance lobby, the Senate Finance Committee took the historic step of voting reform legislation out of committee with bipartisan support. They're the final committee to do so -- and the negotiations over the final bill will now move to the full House and Senate. Soon, every senator and representative must decide where they stand. Lobbyists will be racing to each office, trying every trick in the book to derail the President's plan. In fact, just this week, the insurance lobby released a self-serving report falsely claiming that reform would increase costs. Journalists called it "deceptive" and said "something doesn't smell right here." A prominent M.I.T. economist described the study as "deeply flawed." It's a blatant scare tactic designed to frighten voters and bully Congress -- and it's just the beginning. We need to speak out right away to show Congress that their constituents are watching closely, and we're counting on them to say "no" to the lobbyists and "yes" to reform. Send a message urging Congress to stand with voters, not D.C. lobbyists, and pass real reform. It's becoming clear that the insurance companies will do whatever it takes to stop progress: The New York Times is reporting that special interests are spending $1.4 million every day to kill reform -- and even commissioned their own slanted analysis of the Finance Committee's legislation in an effort to defeat it. But today, after widespread criticism, the company that produced the report issued a statement saying that it analyzed only part of the bill because that's exactly what the insurance industry paid them to do! And we just got word that insurance companies are spending $1 million on a misleading ad to scare seniors out of supporting reform. The ad falsely declares that reform will cause cuts in Medicare, even though reform is crucial to ensuring the long-term survival of the program and preserving the care that millions of seniors depend on. Now that all five congressional committees have passed reform legislation, we're sure to see attacks that are even more extreme. It's up to us to make sure that ordinary Americans continue to be heard louder than the Washington lobbyists. Please send a message to Congress today: http://my.barackobama.com/Fight_Back The next few weeks are absolutely crucial to our success -- we'll be organizing events, running ads, and doing everything possible to make sure Congress passes real reform. But right now, the most important thing we can do is make our voices heard immediately. Please speak out now.
