We Can't Afford to Wait
The zealots over at Move On that claim they take no corporate money are pushing hard to keep the "public option." Now, you could find sympathy in this Soros funded video, but.....
.....my feeling is that everyone knows someone on a personal level that has had to deal with a major medical issue. My heart goes out to those that have and those in this video that "can't afford to wait," because I believe that waiting is exactly what they will be doing if and when a Public Option dominates the health care system of our country.
It's so great that Move On can use images to propagate their socialist view of how health care should be run in this country when there is no way for those of us that disagree to show American's being hurt by such a system since thus far we have been reluctant to adopt such a system.
The most I can do is show you the emails that Move On has sent out recently about how they want to socialize medicine:
Dear MoveOn member,
Last week we asked MoveOn members to share photos showing how they and their loved ones are suffering under our broken health care system. The responses simply blew us away. We showed the photos to recording artists R.E.M., and together we produced this incredibly powerful video. Watch the video and share it with your friends today. With the news that some in the White House are considering a "trigger"1—a delay tactic designed to kill the public option—it's more important than ever to get the word out that we simply can't afford to wait for real reform.
Click here to watch the video and send it to your friends today:

Isn't that nice they got R.E.M. to provide content for them? I think it is. However, it begs the question, where did the money they requested one week earlier to support the Public Option go?
In the following email they were begging for cash to produce a video in support of the public option:
Dear MoveOn member,
After a few weeks of health care craziness, there's good news: we're winning on the ground. Lots of town halls are now dominated by supporters of health care reform. The vast majority of Americans want the choice of a public plan.1 And a powerful bloc of progressives in the House is standing strong on real reform.
The really bad news? The media's still acting like President Obama's health care plan is on the skids.
If we don't turn the conventional wisdom around before Congress begins voting on health care, we could be in big trouble.
We've got a plan to make it happen. It starts tomorrow with major vigils across the country to bring the media's focus back to the real people suffering under the current health care system.
And then we'll shake up the media story again by going on the offensive against Republicans, with a new series of tough ads that call them out for their ties to the health insurance industry.
But to actually make a big splash, we need to raise $185,000 today—and that's going to take at least 112 donations from people in Chicago. Can you chip in $20 right now to help out?
Right now, Republicans in Congress think they can get away with viciously slandering President Obama's plan for a public health insurance option—even though 77% of Americans say they want to have the choice of a public plan.2
These Republicans need a reality check. Every member of Congress should know that opposing health care reform isn't just morally wrong—it's politically dangerous and unpopular.
That's why we're planning some very tough new TV ads. They'll let voters know exactly how much money their representatives have taken from the insurance industry, whose top goal this year is to kill the public option.
These ads are a surefire way to put Republicans on the defensive, and show that Americans want their representatives to stop siding with insurance companies by obstructing health care reform.
To hit our goal of $185,000 and get these ads on the air, we need at least 112 people in Chicago to step up. Can you chip in $20 right now to help out?
Thanks for all you do.

I know I don't even have to waste my time disputing their incorrect facts, but I still want to point out that they were and most likely still are trying to shore up cash to pay for ads. Every side does this so I'm not offended about that aspect of it.
I just happen to see the left pushing harder for government run health care than the right pushing for any other alternative..
In my opinion, you need to see what the left is fighting with.
Soliciting money to create ads that they can hire rock bands to provide background music for. What say you America?
