Earlier today, I watched one of the most bizarre spectacles I've
ever seen in Congress (and that's saying a lot). Rep. Cory
Gardner of Colorado used his two minutes of speaking time to attack
federal Health and Human Services Secretary, Kathleen Sebelius, over
ProgressNow Colorado Education's and the Colorado Consumer
Health Initiative's Got Insurance? campaign. Here's the story
just posted by Eli Stokols at FOX 31 News in Denver:

Gardner, R-Yuma, stuck to the script he laid out to FOX31 Denver on
Monday, asking Sebelius if she approves of an edgy Colorado ad
campaign urging young college-aged men and women to buy
'Brosurance' on the state's new health insurance
exchange.

Gardner also referred to the Brosurance campaign as something
"that a board member of the Colorado exchange brought
forward", although the ad is actually the work of the Colorado
Consumer Health Initiative and ProgressNow [Colorado Education], two
progressive groups that are not associated with Connect for Health
Colorado, the state's exchange. [1]

Got Insurance? hasn't received a dime of taxpayer money, and its
only connection to Washington and the government is Rep. Gardner
grandstanding at today's congressional hearing. In fact, we are
a small grassroots non-profit organization who believes everyone
should have the right to quality healthcare including "bros," even
when they act moronic. We came up with Got Insurance? as a simple
way to publicize new health care options available to Coloradans
through the insurance marketplace, and maybe have some fun along the
way. 

As of now, we've not bought any paid advertising for our Got
Insurance? ads. Yet they've managed to make quite a splash. We
need to fight back against these attacks and push these ads out to the
audiences they are targeted to. If you chip in $20 right now that
would go along way toward getting them placed all over Colorado.

Thanks for your support. With your help, we are making a real
difference.

Sincerely,
