Tell your local paper about Obama's plan

Dear MoveOn member,

MoveOn member Ali P. says saving 30% on his health care would mean "survival for my small business." Sheila A. says it would mean "not having to go without groceries the last week of the month before I get paid."

But most people—including Congress and the media—still don't know that President Obama's public health insurance option could save Americans up to 30% off their insurance premiums1 without sacrificing quality.

Why is this fact important? Because health care legislation is being written right now in Congress. The public health insurance option is essential, but insurance companies are fighting it hard—and some Democrats are starting to waver. In this economy, one of the best arguments for the public option is the fact that it'll dramatically reduce health care costs.

Can you write a letter to the editor about how important the 30% savings from the public health insurance option is to the debate on health care? Our tool makes writing a letter a cinch. You can send the letter right from our website—and it only takes a few minutes.


My response and the LTE I'm writing:

Dear Newspaper,

Obama's socialist plan to fix our insurance by nationalizing it so that we all have shitty insurance coverage is a good one. I'm with MoveOn and the commies here. We definitely need this. The government screws up everything else: the economy, the postal service, welfare...why not let them jack up the healthcare industry even more than they already have!

Yep, I'm all for this, Mr. Newspaper man. Please print my letter.
