Chris xx Route 66's blog: "THINK PINK IN OCT."

Dear Chris ,

Thanks for signing the petition to insurance CEOs. If enough of us sign, we'll give Melanie and other people hurt by the insurance industry greed some real support. But it will take a LOT more of us getting involved to convince these CEOs to give up their million-dollar bonuses and do the right thing. Can you help spread the word by forwarding this message to 5 friends right now?

Hey there,

I just heard a story that you need to hear too:  A few years ago, Melanie Shouse was living the American dream when she transformed an old Dominos storefront into an expansion of her home business. But just as the store was opening, Melanie was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer and given months to live.

Melanie had insurance, and she went straight to the experts at Siteman Cancer Center in St. Louis. Working with the world-renowned doctors there, she's beaten the odds and stayed healthy for years. But now her insurance company, a subsidiary of WellPoint, is refusing to pay for the medication her doctors recommend.

So Melanie got mad. And last week Melanie went to WellPoint's local office in St. Louis to confront CEO Angela Braly - who makes almost $10 million a year in salary and stock benefits, but defends dropping people like Melanie's insurance when they get sick.

Braly refused to meet with Melanie, but next week she'll be in Washington, D.C. for a convention of the biggest insurance company executives in America. This conference is the best chance for people like Melanie to confront the insurance company CEOs who denied them care.

I signed this petition to back up Melanie and people like her, can you do the same?
