"Lemmings with suicide vests"

Friend -- It's been 13 days since the Republicans shut down our government, and now Washington is starting to see that people like you are holding them directly accountable for this colossal failure of leadership. It's not just that the GOP is staring at their worst poll numbers in modern history. It's not just that citizens are setting up websites to make it easy for anyone to call them and voice their complaints. It's that people like you are stepping forward to make a personal investment in this fight. So far, 816,873 people like you have stood with President Obama and told Speaker Boehner, Ted Cruz, and the rest of the Republican establishment to reopen the government and accept Obamacare as the law of the land. So far, 33,934 of you have chipped in and taken ownership of the fight to win back the House from John Boehner and his Tea Party allies. And if you don't believe that makes a difference, look no further than Sen. Mitch McConnell who is running ads back home in Kentucky to try and explain himself. Look no further than one conservative House Republican who has taken to comparing his GOP colleagues to "lemmings with suicide vests." We're putting the pressure on them, and it's clear they're feeling it. But we can't let up now. Chip in $3 or more to keep our momentum going. The next few weeks couldn't be more important. Democrats in Congress will continue to try to reopen the government and prevent Republicans from shutting down the economy, too. Democrats in New Jersey are working to make Cory Booker and Barbara Buono their next senator and governor, respectively. And in Virginia, Terry McAuliffe and his team are widening their lead against the extreme Ken Cuccinelli. We will look back at this moment as having been a turning point -- and what you do today can make sure that history remembers this moment as a defeat for those who have held the government hostage to keep Americans from accessing affordable health care.
