No other way to put it

Friend -- At 5:53 p.m. Eastern Time today, the House moved to repeal health insurance reform. Every single Republican -- all 242 -- voted for repeal. This is a vote for insurance companies. There is no other way to put it. Because if the question is what is best for Americans, repeal would never come up: Health reform is already at work improving the lives of millions of people. Repeal will result in 32 million fewer Americans with health coverage -- and add $230 billion to the deficit over the next 10 years. Republicans in Congress need to know there's a political price to pay for siding with special interests over the constituents in their districts. We're putting together a dedicated team of organizers and volunteers across the country to protect our progress on health reform -- and we need 2 donations from Yorktown to make sure they have the resources they need. Chip in $3 or more to support Organizing for America and help stop repeal before it's too late. The Affordable Care Act addresses and ends some of the worst insurance-industry abuses against families, children, seniors, and the sick -- the cost of repeal would be steep:     -- Families, many already struggling to get by, could lose their coverage if someone is in an accident or becomes sick -- right when they need it the most.     -- A woman with cancer could have her coverage stripped away because of a tiny mistake on a form.     -- Pregnant women, children born with disabilities, and anyone with a pre-existing condition -- as many as half of Americans under age 65 -- could face discrimination or be denied coverage by an insurance company that deems them too costly.     -- A senior on Medicare who falls in the "donut hole" in prescription coverage would once again have to make up that cost out of pocket -- and start paying for all preventative care.     -- The deficit would increase by $230 billion over the next 10 years -- placing an unfair burden on our children and grandchildren and future generations who will have to pay for this mistake.     -- Insurance companies could go back to working for corporate profit and CEO bonuses -- instead of for the people who pay their premiums. These cruel and unjust practices are exactly why we organized, donated, volunteered, and spoke out for months, helping to pass legislation 100 years in the making. It's why we worked with the President and Democrats in Congress to reform a broken and unsustainable health care system. Now, that progress is being threatened -- and we have to do everything we can to protect it. Organizing for America is running a full-fledged campaign to drive this message home in communities across the country. Our organizers and volunteers will be knocking on doors, writing letters to their local papers, talking to neighbors, and calling their senators. Support from 2 folks in Yorktown will ensure we have the tools and resources we need to counteract and stop the repeal effort.
