OFA sent out another gauche email. This one was from our vice president. It requires a bit of mental calisthenics to rationalize how government for the people and by the people gets off telling the people they ought to publicly praise government for what it just did so it will look like the people were behind what happened.
Your senator, Kay Hagan, took that tough stand in supporting health reform. Now, we need to provide a line of defense money can’t buy: the voices of real constituents speaking out and showing their support.
That’s where you come in. Do you have three minutes to jot down a quick letter to your local newspaper? If you need ideas on what to say, you can watch a quick video Organizing for America put together about how reform will benefit North Carolina.
The letter continues, pegging as a special-interest liar anybody who thinks government is out of line for overstepping its authority to vote itself control over private-sector industry:
Special interests know that in the coming months, all their lies about reform will be proven false. But that won’t stop them from inventing new ones and spreading attack ads.
