New Kerry email - Their arrogance, our patience.

[whometense]

Dear XXXXX,

I knew we could count on you. The powerful new TV ad I shared with you in yesterday's email is striking a responsive chord. In just 24 hours, thousands of you have acted to help Keeping America's Promise call dramatic attention to the needs of 11 million American children living without health insurance.

If you haven't acted already, please do so now. Help air this ad and add your voice to the growing chorus of Americans determined to make Washington put Kids First.

The dramatic response to the Kids First ad demonstrates the conviction of the johnkerry.com community that it's long past time for Republican leaders in Washington to stop dominating Congress with their power grabs and their radical agenda.

Their arrogance may have no limits, but the American people's patience does.

We're going outside of Washington - to the hometowns of people like Bill Frist, Tom DeLay, Trent Lott and Rick Santorum - asking American families to demand that those who control Congress' agenda put Kids First.

Help reach more people and put more pressure on Republicans in Congress to act.

Repeated polls are revealing that the American people are fed up with the Bush White House and the Republican Congress refusing to lift a finger on vitally important issues like health care for America's children.

With your help, Keeping America's Promise and the Kids First ad can help turn the tide. Act now to help build a groundswell of public pressure that forces Republican leaders to stop blocking action on the initiatives that matter most to America's families.

If you've had it with Republican inaction, it's time for you to take action. Let's keep driving the powerful Kids First message home. And let's move past the arrogance and stunning indifference of Republican leaders and take America forward.

Sincerely,

John Kerry
