Just don't do it, Terry. Don't appear at the AHIP convention on June 19. Don't accept a speaking fee.
We were quite surprised when we learned that Terry McAuliffe was going to appear -- with former Bush spokesperson Dan Bartlett -- at a major convention of health insurance corporations in San Francisco on June 19.
After all, how could the former Chair of the Democratic National Committee show up as a guest of health insurance executives -- much less accept any money for his appearance at the AHIP (America's Health Insurance Plans) convention? This appearance seems inappropriate at best, especially after Barack Obama and Howard Dean courageously directed the Democratic National Committee last week to reject contributions from lobbyists, including the health insurance industry.
If you agree, please join me, the Courage Campaign and the California Nurses Association in asking Terry McAuliffe not to appear at -- or take a speaking fee from -- the AHIP convention on June 19.
We need you, your friends and your family to sign this letter now so that we can deliver thousands of signatures to him on Tuesday:
