Dear Supporters,
The fight for meaningful health insurance reform is too important to be sidetracked by misinformation and false attacks.
You and I know that real reform --
including the choice of a public health insurance option -- is the single best way to reduce costs, improve quality and expand coverage to the uninsured while making sure people who like their current plans can keep them.
Nonetheless, Republican opponents of reform are coming out with one outrageous smear after the next, all aimed at derailing our progress. We must be able to counter their special interest-funded attacks and set the record straight.
That's why I have set a goal of raising $100,000 in grassroots donations before the August 31st FEC fundraising deadline.Contribute $50, $75, or more today to support historic Health Insurance Reform.The August fundraising deadline is our last chance to show the grassroots momentum behind real reform before Congress returns to Washington, D.C.
The cost of doing nothing is too huge for us not to act. American families are struggling to keep up with the costs of rising health insurance premiums. Millions are just one serious illness or injury away from economic disaster.
Committed supporters like you are our very best weapon against Republican attempts to poison the debate on health insurance reform.
Contribute $50, $75, or more today to support historic Health Insurance Reform.You have done so much to fight for real reform and I can't thank you enough.
But now I need you to contribute today to ensure we have the resources to fight GOP attacks and ensure that all Americans can have access to quality, affordable health care.Thank you for your continuing commitment.
Best Regards,

Nancy Pelosi
Speaker of the House
P.S. Republicans are doing everything they can to spread the lies they hope will kill health insurance reform.
Please make a generous financial contribution to help Democrats get the truth out and fight GOP smears.
