Tricking people into not getting health care...

--

When the facts aren't on your side, and you don't have good ideas of your own, there's only one thing left to do:

Pass out free beer and koozies.

That's not really true, but it does happen to be exactly what the Koch brothers' group has been doing at college campuses across the country -- all to try to convince young people not to get health insurance. That's right -- they're setting up booths, right next to the organizations helping students get covered, and handing out free stuff.

The bad news is these guys have millions of dollars to spend -- the anti-Obamacare crowd has already spent more than $X million against us. It's going to take real, on-the-ground organizing to beat them.

The good news is that's what OFA does best. Donate $X today to fight back:

The facts aren't that complicated -- no matter how much noise the other side makes, Obamacare is here to stay, and it's helping millions of people get better, more affordable care as I write this.

The thing is, there's no Koch brothers-recommended alternative to Obamacare here. They're saying just risk it -- and hope you or your kids don't get sick.

We won't be able to outspend them, but we can help shut this cynical campaign down with OFA's brand of organizing, which just happens to specialize in actually trying to help people.

So if you're tired of the Kochs' cynicism, donate $X to the team that's fighting back today:
