This is a 2nd notice I sent to the DNC concerning recurring contribution. I did not get a response the first time:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following notice was at the bottom of the DOLLAR A DAY contribution for Health Care Reform: https://donate.barackobama.com/page/contribute/dnc08hcdollar?source=20090729_dollar_d_2pm
Recurring Contribution:
By checking the box below, I acknowledge that I am making a recurring contribution and that the amount I have selected above will be charged to my credit card on the 6th of every month. YOU MAY CANCEL AT ANY TIME. The first charge will be made immediately.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To Whom It May Concern,
I would like to know what I have to do to rescind my contribution.
A few weeks ago, when I thought a Public Option on health care reform, was a possibility, I signed up to donate a dollar a day until the Health Care Reform bill was signed by, President Obama. Well, now it looks as though the far right-wing teabagger/townhallers and the insurance industry lobbies are winning and there will be no health care reform for, we the people of the United States of America. Thus, we will continue to suffer under the greedy insurance companies who make health care unaffordable for most of us.
In my own family my daughter who is a school teacher, in the Public School System cannot afford health care coverage for her family, she only has coverage for herself. (It would take a third of her $32,000 a year salary, for a family of four)...
My son who is self-employed as a local musician pays $650 a month for CATASTROPHIC health insurance. If he or his wife should get sick they will have to come up with $5000 in order to get treatment (The $650 pays for health coverage with a $5000 deductable and nothing else - not preventative, as in a yearly check-ups - it’s strictly an amount paid to the insurance company who is gambling that my son will not get sick. Pretty good odds considering my son and daughter-in-law are young).
This is sad but not as sad as all those Americans who have no coverage AT ALL because they can't afford the premiums the insurance companies demand since profit is their only motivation.
Once again, please tell me how to get out of this agreement I have committed to... The dollar a day donation is at this site: https://donate.barackobama.com/page/contribute/dnc08hcdollar?source=20090729_dollar_d_2pm because I would rather donate this sum of money to a worthier cause that will use the money more effectively.
I don't want my credit card charged again because I feel it is money thrown away. I would appreciate any help you can give me concerning this “problem”.
Thank you,

Mr. President, I worked very hard, spending many hours and had contributed monetarily as much as I could afford on a fixed income, to get you elected. Now, I feel you have let us all down on so many of your promises; especially, concerning affordable health care for all. Please, if you can find the time, go to this link and hear my (and most of the people in our nation's) pleas...

EXCERPT:
"I have been signing petitions such as this one for healthcare reform, for years. Still the problem exists. What I would like to know is... Why? Why does such shameful neglect and uncaring occur in a country like ours? Why are so many of our people left to suffer?
We are no longer a country “of the people, by the people” we are a country of “the big business/big lobbies, by the big business/big lobbies”. They are the true owners of this land and greed will continue to step on and over those who outnumber the greedy few at the top, millions of times over. Even when they flagrantly and arrogantly fail, they succeed and go on conducting their greed in the same manner.
God bless America, MY FOOT!" http://thinkingblue.blogspot.com

I wanted to do a youtube video for Obama's extraordinary win over the Republican Smear Machine but couldn't decide on which song, I should use to the many newspaper front pages of this victory... I used Ray Charles "IT HAD TO BE YOU" because in our country's dire situation there was only one route open for us and Barack Obama, It really had to be you! thinkingblue
It had to be, President Barack Obama
Barack Obama just responded to the Clinton and McCain accusation that he {Obama} is so elite he's out of touch with the Pennsylvania workers... I know a great big... HUH?... Here is the transcript: CLICK HERE
Will Obama Pay for 'Bitter' Flap?
