Do you want to help Rush, Fox & the right-wing defeat health care reform? Then \u2026
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

Do nothing. Definitely don’t click this link: Volunteer to Move Health Care Reform Next Week<\/a>.
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

Just do nothing. <\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

The full-force of the discredited, morally bankrupt right-wing is being mobilized to defeat any<\/em> change to America’s health care system. And it won’t be just a defeat for quality, affordable, health care for all or for rebuilding the American middle class. It will be the first step in derailing any future efforts to advance a progressive vision and future for America.
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

And to help make it happen, you don’t need to do anything. Just sit back and do nothing.<\/span>

As you read this, your representative in Congress, is being barraged with hostile phone calls demanding that he or she vote against health care reform. <\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

So, if you want to help ensure a right-wing victory on health care and more, do nothing. Rush, and the right wing attack machine don’t need your support to succeed. They only need your silence and inaction.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

BUT, if you want to fight them, if you want to win quality, affordable health care for all, if you want to see progressive victories in the battles yet to come, YOU NEED TO ACT NOW!<\/span>

\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

. . . nothing.
