Dear Friends,<\/p>\n
I\u2019m afraid that Penn ACTION can\u2019t offer you a tax deduction for a year-end contribution to our organization. But we need you to make one by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n That\u2019s because we\u2019re asking you for 501(c)4 contributions, the kind of money that will enable us to work together to do the hardest hitting, most aggressive political action in 2011, the kind of work that was so instrumental to passing the Affordable Care Act this year.<\/p>\n We\u2019re going to use that money to mobilize you and the other 25,000 people on our list and add another 25,000 people to it by the end of 2011.<\/p>\n Just as we did in the last two years on health care reform, together we\u2019re going to going to demand action on issue after issue issues that concern working people and the middle class. And we are going to keep shouting out loud when powerful corporations stand in our way. To make that happen, please contribute by\u00a0clicking here<\/span><\/a>. So<\/p>\n We may lose some of these fights, but we will build a record\u2014and a base of support\u2014for 2012.<\/p>\n We can\u2019t use tax-deductible money or money from foundations for that kind of activism. So your contributions are critical. The more money we can raise from our members, the hard hitting our politics can be.<\/p>\n So, if you haven\u2019t joined Penn ACTION as a paying member, yet, please click here to do so today.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n As the year turns, let me thank you again for your support and, most of all, your activism.<\/p>\n I know there have been some bitter disappointments for all of us in the last six months. But please never forget that health care reform would never have passed without your work. You made it happen. As a result of your work, tens of thousands of people are already benefitting and, when the program goes fully into effect in 2014, millions will benefit and tens of thousands of lives will be saved each and every year.<\/p>\n Happy New Year!<\/p>\n Marc<\/p>\n Marc Stier Dear Friends, I\u2019m afraid that Penn ACTION can\u2019t offer you a tax deduction for a year-end contribution to our organization.

\nThe recent election proved something most of us said and showed during the health care campaign, that this is the time for progressives to be aggressive, to confront the corporations that are perverting our democracy, and to show working people and the middle class that someone is on their side.<\/p>\n\n
