Message from Mitch Stewart: "OFA is going all out in Massachusetts"
January 16, 2010
From OFA Director Mitch Stewart:
There’s a crucial Senate election in Massachusetts in three days. We need your help to win it.
The polls are tightening as right-wing money floods the state, and one even shows the race to be a dead heat between progressive champion Martha Coakley and her extreme opponent. The truth is, special elections often have very low turnout and are notoriously unpredictable.
The stakes are just too high to leave Martha’s victory to chance.
If we lose, Sen. Ted Kennedy’s seat will be in the hands of someone who opposes everything he fought for. We’ll lose a key vote for the President’s agenda in the Senate — and put all the progress we’ve made toward health reform at risk.
That’s why OFA is putting together a massive voter turnout effort to make sure Obama voters get back to the polls this time around — but we need your help to pay for it. Please donate $25 or more to OFA to help fund our organizing, including our work to elect Martha Coakley.
OFA is going all out in Massachusetts — we’re sending organizers, knocking on doors, and making phone calls by the tens of thousands to make sure that folks know how to participate.
It’s a huge effort, it’s expensive, and time is short. But with the outcome uncertain and the stakes sky high, I don’t want to wake up the morning after the election thinking that we could have done something more. If you feel the same way, please donate $25 or more to help us make Martha Coakley the next senator from Massachusetts.
Thanks,
Mitch

Mr. Stewart,
I broke my neck in an auto accident which stole 14 years of my life. I became a victime of the biggest cotteg inductry in America- Healthcare. After spending over $300,000.00 I found a cure to my problem for $1800.00 by connecting the cief of Neurosurgery at Hpkins with the fromer head of diagnostics@ Tulane who also founded the American Spine Society.
So you know, my son is a PhD student in the History of Science, Technology (and medicine) at Stanford. he organized this past year’s medical summit in Arizona under his advisor, Robert Proctor-renowned for expert testimoney against tobacco. He now sits as one of two students on a faculty board, and campaned for President Obama. My daughter went to yale, majored in Pol. Sci, then worked in The US Senate for years. They persuaded me to vote for your boss-which I did.
I spent 12 years writing a paper after interviewing 36 of the best neuroand diagnostic docs in the us, and another 6 top docs in canada, The neatherlands, Israel, Austrailia, and China. I graduated with high distiction from Bowdoin in economics (even though I was rejected 3 times prior to finally getting in) and working working with that department, my son and his world renwown department, as well as my daughter, I can prove that 3 simple measures effect an outward shift in the supply curve of healthcare so remarkable it can save each American $1162.00, or 17 billion/year.
NO one in your administration has looked at supply side economics, yet the fix resides there. Further, you will not find one doctor anywhere that will contest the fact that medicine is a cottage industry and by definition that means” highly disorganized, fragmented.
Now, EMR will put all data in transfurable form, but what have you done to insent doctors to transfure their hospitals trade secrets through this great new system?
You are correct, they can not do so under currant law without stealing money promised to pay for the medical modalities they would share.
Therefore, I ask you to please honor President Obama’s promise that”his door is always open” and let me have just one half hour with HIM, and I would love you also there, and I will plot the supply curve and promise it will be so understandable, a child would get it.
I leave you with this quote from the head of diagnostics at Duke: “Medicine is the biggest cottege industry in America…we can’t share our brain medicine because we must have the patients come here so we can recover what it costs to find the science.”
Please let me come. my cel# is 207-776-0477. I have wasted 2 years trying to get to you with a paper that I distilled from over 200 to 7 pages, one gragh. Just look up The Flexner Reports-1905. he was not a doctor, or politician, yet, like me, he authored a paper that resulted in the most sweeping reforms in medical history, closing down all but 66 of 188 med school!
