in my mailbox from Howard Dean


Here's what I know: When we work together, we're unstoppable.

As my brother Jim said yesterday, the media has it wrong. The campaign for the choice of a public health insurance option will be over only if we quit or we've won. That decision is ours to make. Not the media's decision - Not the insurance industry's decision - It's our decision.

We have the power and we're going to win.

Make no mistake, victory won't happen overnight. Just like President Obama's campaign for President, this campaign is a long haul. Congress returns in September for the final stretch to pass reform by the end of the year.

We must have the resources to fuel this fight. If we raise $200,000 by Monday, we can hit back immediately. Congress will know we're not backing down in the face of pressure. We're standing up to get the job done.

CONTRIBUTE RIGHT NOW AND DELIVER THE RESOURCES TO WIN

Victory takes courage, conviction, and commitment. It takes you. The power to change America is in your hands. It always has been.

Thank you, for everything you do to win.

-Howard


he is trying to help us...let's help him do that

1. They were only a few thousand away by the next day!! From Jim Dean..
This was in my mail yesterday....

"We are going to win because of you.

All week we've been pushing back on the media lies that claimed the choice of a public health insurance option is dead. Guess what -- It's working. But it will take more than push back to win.

That's why my brother Howard asked you yesterday for the resources to take our campaign to the next level.

"If we raise $200,000 by Monday, we can hit back immediately. Congress will know we're not backing down in the face of pressure. We're standing up to get the job done." -Governor Howard Dean, M.D.
Your response has been incredible. In less than 24 hours, we're just a few thousand dollars away from his goal. But DFA members nationwide said it wasn't enough. We need to go bigger - Staff on the ground - Ads on the air - And everything in between.

You're right.

Our approach to this campaign is no different than our campaign to elect President Obama: dynamic, no-holds-barred action, which requires the boots on the ground DFA members deliver better than anyone.

With your help, we will put staff and resources on the ground to support your work in as many as 10 states. Places like Montana, Maine, and Florida. Key states with Senators that might make or break reform. But we need to act fast. We can do it if we hit our new goal of $350,000 by Monday. It's up to you. You can make it happen.

CONTRIBUTE RIGHT NOW AND DELIVER THE RESOURCES TO WIN

You spoke up and we listened. Now let's put it into action and get the job done"
