@ Stake: Republicans Lie, You Respond

 

 

Dear Supporters, Sarah Palin and the right wing fringe may be trying to scare Americans with talk of health care 'death panels' that don't actually exist but thanks to you, their baseless lies are being exposed and their offensive hate-speech is being forcefully smacked. Check out the video of Chairman Barney Frank's scathing response to one town hall protester's 'vile contemptible nonsense' comparing President Obama's health insurance reform plan to Nazi policies.  To show you all the other ways that you're continuing to help President Obama win the fight for health insurance reform, we wanted to bring you the next edition of @ Stake. Republicans Lie, You Respond   Thanks to you, our Health Care Emergency Response is holding Sarah, Rush, Newt, and their special interest friends accountable for the non-stop lying and fear-mongering.

We can't thank you enough for holding Rush accountable for his revolting hate speech.

Heard Around Town: Latest Republican Outrages on Health Care The debate over health insurance reform needs a strong dose of civility and fast.  Here are some of the GOP's latest and most outrageous: First, anti-health care protesters compared President Obama to Hitler's Nazi Party and even hanged one Democratic Congressman in effigy. Then talk show host Glenn Beck made a tasteless joke about poisoning the Speaker of the House and 'Joe the Plumber' told a right-wing fringe gathering that he'd like to 'beat the livin' tar' out of her. Now a Republican Congressman has called health insurance reform a 'threat to democracy' and even applauded a town hall attendee who said, "I am a proud right wing terrorist." Help us stand strong against their despicable attacks.  Sign our petition voicing your support for health insurance reform today and make sure to share it with friends and family. With Congress soon returning to finish the battle over health insurance reform, stay tuned for future editions of @ Stake for more ways to get involved and all the latest breaking news about how you're helping President Obama win this fight for all Americans.
