     Everything we've fought for hangs in the balance. So we're
organizing *emergency
rallies to tell Democrats to stand up and fight*, starting by passing real
health care reform. There's one Tuesday in Urbana at 5:00 PM—will you come?

Dear MoveOn member,

After one bad Senate election, most Democrats in Washington are on the verge
of full-fledged retreat.

*Everything we've fought for together hangs in the balance. *President Obama
has signaled he's open to dramatically scaling back health care reform.1 The
chairman of the Senate Banking Committee says he might gut the financial
reform bill to appease Republicans.2 And on top of all that, the Supreme
Court just opened the floodgates of corporate cash on politics!3

We need to show Democrats that we're mad as hell and we're not going to take
it anymore. So MoveOn members are organizing an *emergency rally in Urbana
on Tuesday to urge Democrats to show some backbone*—starting with passage of
a real health care reform bill.

We need a big turnout to show Democrats we're still waiting on them to
deliver the change we voted for—on health care and everything else. *Can we
count on you to attend?*

Yes, I'll be there on Tuesday at 5:00
PM<http://pol.moveon.org/event/events/event.html?event_id=100695&id=18677-7617889-FOWeGux&t=3>

Sorry, I can't make
it<https://pol.moveon.org/donate/emergency_no.html?id=18677-7617889-FOWeGux&t=4>

The lesson from Massachusetts is that voters are angry and it's time for
Democrats to stand up to corporate interests and fight for working families
by passing health care reform and taking on Wall Street.

And make no mistake: Democrats still have the ability to pass health care
reform and other progressive legislation. They have a larger majority in
Congress than Republicans ever did under George W. Bush—and even in
Massachusetts, polls show that voters continue to support a bold, populist
agenda.4

But it took an unprecedented grassroots movement to elect this President and
Congress—and *it'll take all of us standing together now to get their
attention, and get them to show some backbone*.

Can you join the rally in Urbana on Tuesday?

Yes, I'll be there:
