8. here is what I got today from Tom Daschle
We're writing to urge you to support John Kerry for President. We have an opportunity to elect a leader whose wisdom and experience will lead America back to a place of pride.
We are facing big problems -- such as the high cost of health care. This administration has done nothing to address this very important issue. It's an issue that touches our children, our parents, our neighbors and ourselves. In our weakest moments, when help is most desperately needed, our system lets us down. A sick child goes without seeing a doctor because her parents can't afford it. A woman finds out she has late-stage breast cancer, because she couldn't afford a mammogram. An elderly woman faces a choice between medicine and food, and goes hungry.
When given the opportunity, this President chose tax giveaways for the wealthy over affordable health care for all Americans. He promised us a prescription drug plan that would stop America's seniors from being forced to choose between their medicine and their groceries, but instead his prescription was a Medicare bill that is nothing but a $139 billion giveaway to the big drug companies. Now he's breaking another promise by having no plan to fix our health care crisis.
The time has come to make affordable healthcare for all Americans a reality. John Kerry is committed to it, and we're committed to helping him achieve it.
This President has the wrong priorities for the American people. He underestimates how frustrated and impatient for change we have become.
Let's show him how wrong he is. Support John Kerry today. His priorities are America's priorities.
Sincerely,

Still don't believe it?
