Whitewash! - Help Us Tell the Truth About the Health Care Boondoggle
2nd Quarter 2010

"I received this from the United States Chamber of Commerce and felt it was important enough to share with you.  If you have been reading the information presented by the RBA, you will have learned of falsehoods about the new legislation.  You will have learned how the cancellation of business tax credits to help pay for this legislation will cost Rockland businesses millions of dollars.   The "need" for this campaign gives credibility to the arguments presented by all of us who opposed this legislation.  This wasn't about healthcare, it was about an anti--business Administration and it's war against the insurance industry."
-- Al Samuels, President, Rockland Business Association

 

Whitewash! - Help Us Tell the Truth About the Health Care Boondoggle
United States Chamber of Commerce

Good policy sells itself.

Bad policy apparently requires a $125 million spin campaign.

That's right -- a pair of D.C. insiders are set to launch a massive PR campaign to rescue the public's rejection of their health care boondoggle.

As Politico reports:

Former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) and Victoria Kennedy -- widow of Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) -- are expected to be named co-chairmen of a $125 million campaign that White House allies are rolling out to defend health care reform.

This isn't surprising. They twisted arms and bent the rules to pass the law -- and now they're panicked that Americans aren't buying it.

In fact, a recent Rasmussen Poll shows that only 36% of Americans think the health care bill will be good for the country.

The liberals are worried this failure will hurt their election chances in November. Here at the U.S. Chamber, we are counting on it -- but we need your help.

Can you help us fight back against their $125 million spin campaign with an online contribution of $125 or more today?

The reason people don't like the health care bill isn't because of lack of PR -- it's because it's a bad law.

We were promised a bill that costs less than $1 trillion. We now know that wasn't true.

We were promised the bill wouldn't increase the deficit. We now know that wasn't true.

Don't let the liberals whitewash their health care mistake. Please contribute $125 or more today to counteract their $125 million whitewash.

The real costs of the health care bill won't kick in for a few years. If we allow them to spin the story to distort public opinion -- it will be too late to fix its problems.

We promised we would make health care an issue in the elections.

Contribute today to help us do just that.

Sincerely,

Bill Miller
Senior Vice President and National Political Director
U.S. Chamber of Commerce
