I really don't see any rush to get the thing going again.<br>
<br>
It will be up again soon enough, too soon, in fact.<br>

<p>I'm writing to you now because I think you live in the
Champaign-Urbana area.</p>
<p>Today I'm working with MoveOn, the Campaign for Better Health
Care, and Progressives for Democratic Action to organize an event at
Rep. Rodney Davis's office in Champaign to protest the government
shutdown. What's particularly outrageous is that Republicans like Davis
are shutting down the government because they want to cut the funding
that's allowing millions of Americans to get health insurance while
they shovel our tax dollars to fat cat Pentagon contractors like
Lockheed Martin for taxpayer ripoffs like the $1.5 trillion F-35 war
plane.</p>
<p>I hope you can join us today. The sign-up page is here:</p>

</span><span
style="font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: black;">Champaign,
Illinois - On Friday, October 4, MoveOn.org members, the Campaign for
Better Healthcare, Progressive Democrats of America, and other
concerned residents will be heading to Rep. Rodney Davis’ district
office in Champaign to demand that he vote to</span><span
style="font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: rgb(40, 40, 40);">
end the government shutdown by supporting a clean Continuing Resolution
to fund the government, without demanding that millions of Americans be
blocked from receiving health insurance. MoveOn members will be
carrying signs that read, “We #DemandAVote,” and “End the
#GOPShutdown.” <br>
<br>
</span><span
style="font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: black;">The
local organizer of the event, Robert Naiman, said he decided to plan an
event because, “</span><span
style="font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: rgb(40, 40, 40);">Republicans
have shown they’re willing to hold our government hostage in a vain
attempt to block Americans from receiving health insurance. The
shutdown is depriving Americans of access to services, forcing hundreds
of thousands of public servants to go without pay, and undermining our
economic recovery. </span><span
style="font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: black;">Rep.
Davis <span
style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;">should
immediately pass a clean Continuing Resolution</span>, without demands
to defund Americans’ health care. If Rep. Davis wants to cut government
spending, he should cut the bloated Pentagon budget, including the $1.5
trillion F-35 warplane taxpayer ripoff. He should leave Social Security
and Medicare benefits alone.” <br>
<br>
"Over the past 3 years millions of Illinoisans have already directly
benefited from Obamacare," commented Jim Duffett, Executive Director of
the Campaign for Better Health Care. "Starting on January 1st, 2014,
over a million other Illinoisans will be able to have peace of mind and
financial security by enrolling in private sector health care plans
through the new Illinois Marketplace. It is appalling that while
Congressman Davis and his family enjoy peace of mind and financial
security because of his tax-payer funded health insurance, Congressman
Davis is willing once again to deny hard working Americans that same
human dignity of access to health care by continuously voting to shut
down the U.S. Government. Shame on the Congressman!" stressed Duffett.<br>
