Dear Chris ,
When we passed a health care reform bill through the U.S. House late Saturday night,1 it should have been a moment to celebrate.
But instead of raising a glass to our success, insurance CEOs and their allies in the Senate have pronounced our reform bill "dead on arrival."2 After all we've fought for, these health care pirates are trying to steal defeat from the jaws of victory.
We've fought too hard to let them get away with it. So we're launching a nationwide tour with a giant, inflatable skull and crossbones that will expose these insurance CEOs and their allies in Congress for the scallywags they are.
You can join the fun by signing our petition and ordering a FREE matching bumper sticker. We'll deliver your signature to the insurance CEOs and senators who are fighting reform -- and you can show off the project every time you drive.

Insurance companies get rich by denying us care when we need it. And people like Melanie Shouse, David and Kelly Arellanes and others have shown us what happens when their greed goes unchecked.3
And that's why the bill that was passed on Saturday is so important. The House bill is not perfect, but it goes a long way toward fixing our broken system and curtailing the unchecked power of the big insurance companies.4
But with billions in profits and bonuses on the line, you can expect that insurance CEOs and their allies in Congress will say and spend anything to stop reform from passing in the Senate.
Our best chance to stop them is to draw media and public attention to their profiteering ways in a fun and flamboyant style. When we pull up outside a senator's office or an insurance industry conference with a 12-foot-tall skull and crossbones, people notice. And the more people who notice that the same insurance CEOs who are dropping our coverage and denying us care are also opposing reform in Congress, the better our chances are of passing a strong bill.
Sign the petition now and show the world that without reform, patients get buried and insurance companies keep the treasure.
