John -- we reached our October goal because of the strength of this grassroots community.

I also wanted to reach out because something important happens today: It’s the first day of the open enrollment period for Obamacare! Open enrollment runs until December 15th, so if you or a loved one needs coverage, don't waste any time! Head to www.healthcare.gov and sign up now.

I have said this for a long time: We should be improving and building on the Affordable Care Act -- not trying to tear it down and start over.

Unfortunately, Republicans have not let up their attacks on health care. They’re determined to overturn the ACA any way they can, which threatens health care for millions of Americans, including those living with pre-existing conditions.

As long as Republicans keep up their attacks -- and they will -- we need to keep raising our voices to defend it. I’ll be counting on your continued engagement in the weeks and months ahead to do just that.

Thank you again,

TC
