  John --

 Earlier this week, Gov. Kaine wrote to you about Republican Senator Jim
DeMint's remark to a right-wing group that's spending millions trying to
kill health insurance reform. DeMint told them, "If we're able to stop Obama
on this, it will be his Waterloo. It will break him."

  It's getting worse. On the "Today" show, he refused to back down from
those outrageous comments. He's making the rounds on cable news and even
launching criticisms of the President from the floor of the Senate.

 We need to push back immediately to show other Republicans that there's a
political price to pay for using the health care debate to make personal
attacks on the President, instead of working to bring down costs and cover
all of us.

 So we've created a new ad that we're running in Senator DeMint's home state
of South Carolina. It has a simple but forceful message: Senator DeMint is
trying to score political points at any cost, even if it means that his
constituents continue to suffer under a broken insurance care system.

 It's a tough ad that's sure to get noticed, but only if we have the
resources to keep it on the air. Can you help?

 Chip in $25 to make sure South Carolina voters see the truth about Jim
DeMint and his attacks on the President.

 Republicans in Washington like DeMint have made it clear that they have no
intention of fixing our health care system -- only to block progress. A
leading GOP political strategist, Bill Kristol, even urged his fellow
Republicans to "resist the temptation" to be "constructive or, at least
responsible," and instead work only to kill health insurance reform.

They're putting politics before people and doing everything they can to
maintain the status quo.  But unless we act this year, more Americans will
lose their coverage, more businesses will close their doors, and rising
costs will continue to explode our nation's deficit.

Congress is making the critical decisions on health insurance reform as we
speak, so it's especially important that all of us send a strong message
today to Senator DeMint, his insurance-company allies, and every Republican
blocking reform: We won't cave to your blatant political games. The American
people voted for change, and we're not about to let you stand in the way of
it becoming a reality.

Can you donate $25 to help get this ad on the air?
