Those were the shocking and disrespectful words screamed by Republican Congressman Joe Wilson of South Carolina during President Obama's address last night. Many of you have contacted me and asked what you can do. Well, the best way I can think of responding is taking away Joe Wilson's chance of doing this again by helping vote him out of office. Rob Miller is the Democrat running against Joe Wilson, and he has a great shot at winning this race with our help, right now. Help us send a powerful message to Joe Wilson that his behavior is unacceptable. Contribute to Rob Miller's campaign today! Now, helping rid Congress of someone who called the President of the United States a liar in front of the nation is sufficient reason to help Rob Miller win in South Carolina's 2nd District. But I'm here to tell you Rob is a great candidate, a person that deserves to represent the American public in Congress. Rob was born and raised in South Carolina -- the younger of two sons of a Navy veteran. As a Marine Corps officer, Rob's experiences served to sharpen his worldview, to reinforce the value of freedom, and to strengthen his commitment to democracy. With only $300,000 last cycle, Rob got 46% of the vote. Joe Wilson's antics have given Rob the opening to win in 2010. You can make a difference today. You can help Rob Miller rid Congress of Joe Wilson. Contribute to Rob's campaign today! Sincerely, Wes Clark P.S. President Obama said last night, "If you misrepresent what's in the plan, we will call you out." It's time to do that now. Contribute to Rob Miller and help defeat Congressman Joe Wilson.

We're in a fight for honest debate and common-sense solutions, and if just three people from Davis contribute ten dollars, we can meet our goal and stand strong against Joe Wilson's childish name calling and petty partisanship. We need three people from Davis to stand up. Will you? This race is an opportunity to show that we won't stand for the style of politics that Joe Wilson represents. Just three people from Davis contributing $10 will help us meet our goal and let Joe Wilson know that we want a Congressman who will work across the aisle to find solutions, not childish outbursts. We need three people from Davis to stand up in the next 37 hours. Will you? Lindsay B.

Send a free fax to Sens. Boxer and Feinstein: Click Here OK, this is amazing: More people believe in UFOs than oppose the public health insurance option.1 Seriously, it's easier to find someone who thinks aliens are landing spaceships in our cornfields than someone who thinks we shouldn't create a public option to keep the insurance companies honest. The insurance companies are basically the only ones who don't like the public option?which is probably why their industry is spending nearly $5=2 0million per week trying to fight off health care reform in Congress.2 We need to remind our senators that everyday Americans?not space aliens, and not profit-driven insurance executives?support the public health insurance option. Click here to send a free fax about the public option to Senators Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein: http://pol.moveon.org/fax?tg=FSCA_2.FSCA_1&cp_id=1125&id=17382-3356801-mp6GD .x&t=3 Outside of the Senate, insurance company boardrooms, and Area 51, the support for the public option is overwhelming. At least two thirds of Americans want the choice of a public plan.3 Fully 73% of doctors, the people who see the moral and medical need up close every day, want a public option.4 And a majority of small-business owners, who know firsthand the economic case for health care reform, back it.5 Yet the health insurance companies?and some subset of the people who believe they've seen flying saucers?oppose it. And somehow, ridiculously, that's put the public option in danger in the Senate. Can you send this free fax to your senators, Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein, to20make sure they know just how popular the public option is? http://pol.moveon.org/fax?tg=FSCA_2.FSCA_1&cp_id=1125&id=17382-3356801-mp6GD .x&t=4 Thanks for all that you do. ?Nita, Stephen, Kat, Peter, and the rest of the team P.S.

They're wrong, and Dr. Howard Dean can prove it. Dean is backing a strong reform plan that includes a public insurance option. And he says we've got the votes to pass it.3 Join Dr. Dean, millions of Americans and over 50 percent of Congress by signing this petition now: ???? http://www.americacantwait.com/TrueMajority . For years we've been told that you need 60 votes in the Senate to pass a bill. And so all summer long, we waited through gun-toting town halls, death panel fictions and shouted insults to see if Sen. Baucus and his committee could get a few conservatives to support reform and help us reach that magic number. As of today, we know that effort has failed. But Howard Dean has a solution. A special procedure called reconciliation can be used to pass a bill through the Senate with 51 votes. And Dean's put in the work to make sure that we've got the support we need in the House, the Senate and at the White House to win.4, 5 There's no more reason to wait. Howard Dean has shown that real reform has the votes to pass. And with thousands more Americans losing their insurance or having care denied every day, we can't afford to wait much longer for Congress to act. Sign the petition and tell Congress : Get reform done! Pass a strong bill with a simple majority that lets us choose a public insurance plan. - Matt Holland Online Director TrueMajority/USAction 1 - prescriptions.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/09/29/live-blogging-senate-finance-comm ittee-debate-on-public-option/?hp 2 - voices.washingtonpost.com/44/2009/09/29/public_option_debate_moves_to.html?w prss=44 3 - americacantwait.com/yes_votes 4 - blogs.usatoday.com/onpolitics/2009/09/liberal-groups-target-sen-baucus-on-he alth-care.html 5 - cbsnews.com/blogs/2009/09/24/politics/politicalhotsheet/entry5336183.shtml If you received this message from a friend, you can sign up for TrueMajority.
