Presidential Advisor Explains
Dear Friend,
This is probably one of the longest emails Ive ever sent, but it could be the most important.
Across the country we are seeing vigorous debate about health insurance reform. Unfortunately, some of the old tactics we know so well are back even the viral emails that fly unchecked and under the radar, spreading all sorts of lies and distortions.
As President Obama said at the town hall in New Hampshire, where we do disagree, let's disagree over things that are real, not these wild misrepresentations that bear no resemblance to anything that's actually been proposed.
So lets start a chain email of our own. At the end of my email, youll find a lot of information about health insurance reform, distilled into 8 ways reform provides security and stability to those with or without coverage, 8 common myths about reform and 8 reasons we need health insurance reform now.
Right now, someone you know probably has a question about reform that could be answered by whats below. So what are you waiting for? Forward this email.
Thanks,
David
David Axelrod
Senior Adviser to the President
P.S. We launched www.WhiteHouse.gov/realitycheck this week to knock down the rumors and lies that are floating around the internet. You can find the information below, and much more, there. For example, we've just added a video of Nancy-Ann DeParle from our Health Reform Office tackling a viral email head on.

Health Care: The White House
The White House, Washington
Dear Friend,
If youre like most Americans, theres nothing more important to you about health care than peace of mind.
Given the status quo, thats understandable. The current system often denies insurance due to pre-existing conditions, charges steep out-of-pocket fees and sometimes isnt there at all if you become seriously ill.
Its time to fix our unsustainable insurance system and create a new foundation for health care security. That means guaranteeing your health care security and stability with eight basic consumer protections:
* No discrimination for pre-existing conditions
* No exorbitant out-of-pocket expenses, deductibles or co-pays
* No cost-sharing for preventive care
* No dropping of coverage if you become seriously ill
* No gender discrimination
* No annual or lifetime caps on coverage
* Extended coverage for young adults
* Guaranteed insurance renewal so long as premiums are paid
Learn more about these consumer protections at Whitehouse.gov.
Over the next month there is going to be an avalanche of misinformation and scare tactics from those seeking to perpetuate the status quo. But we know the cost of doing nothing is too high. Health care costs will double over the next decade, millions more will become uninsured, and state and local governments will go bankrupt.
Its time to act and reform health insurance, drive down costs and guarantee the health care security and stability of every American family. You can help by putting these core principles of reform in the hands of your friends, your family, and the rest of your social network.
Thank you,
Barack Obama

Letter from the First Lady
The White House, Washington
Im writing to share a special video of Barack talking about fatherhood, but first I want to share some thoughts of my own.
My father, Frasier Robinson, was the rock of our family. Although he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in his early thirties, he was our provider, our champion and our hero.
He worked tirelessly through good days and bad to make sure my brother and I had every opportunity he didn't -- to go to college and pursue our dreams. His example continues to guide me every day.
Barack didn't have my good fortune -- his father left when he was just two years old. But he has always been determined to give our daughters what he never had, and he values being a good father more than any other accomplishment in his life.
On Friday, Barack brought some men (and a bunch of kids!) to the White House to talk about fatherhood. Check out a video of the event:
Happy Fathers Day
http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/Responsible-Fatherhood/
We all know the remarkable impact fathers can have in our children's lives. So today, on this 100th anniversary of Father's Day, take a moment to celebrate responsible fatherhood and the men who've had the courage to step up, be there for our families, and provide our children with the guidance, love and support they need to fulfill their dreams.
Thanks,
Michell

Arkansas Lottery Commission names new director
Arkansas Lottery Commission Arkansas is one step closer to selling its first lottery ticket. The Arkansas Lottery Commission named its first executive director Friday. Ernie Passailaigue already launched South Carolina's lottery system and he has the experience it takes to get Arkansas' lottery off the ground. "I've got to get this business running in four and a half to five months," he told us.
Passailaigue has his work cut out for him but he's been down this road before, starting up South Carolina's lottery and running it for the past 8 years. "Of anyone we looked at Ernie has more experience," said lottery commissioner Joe White. White says the best thing is Passailaigue will be able to hit the ground running here in Arkansas when he starts July 1st. "Every day we are not selling tickets is the loss of a million dollars of revenue," Arkansas Lieutenant Governor Bill Halter said.
Passailague has plans. First off, he wants to call it the Arkansas Education Lottery to make sure people understand this isn't just about making money. "We're going to do our best to make the goals and dreams of young people in the state of Arkansas come true," he told us. He also says it's important to make the right choice about a multi-state jackpot game, either mega-millions or powerball. He happens to be the Powerball group chairman. But he said, "we're going to do what's best for the people of Arkansas in making our selection."

Lux Fairs
Even in the 1950's travelling carnivals still made summer stops here in Luxora sitting up in their tents in the small block of undeveloped land around and beneath the Luxora water tower. There local residents would gather with their children in the hours after work and supper time to try their luck at throwing darts, picking up floating rubber ducks, tossing quarters, working the draglines, ring tossing, balloon shooting, pitching horseshoes, or paying a quarter for rides such as; merry-go-rounds, teacup rides, roller coasters, pony rides, train rides, and Ferris wheels as well as slides, mirror mazes and variations on the bouncy castle. Side shows offered such acts as the fat lady and the thin man, mermaids, giant snakes, abominable snowmen, fire eating, sword swallowing, knife throwing, body piercing, lying on a bed of nails.
Popular foods were the candy apple, caramel apple, cotton candy, funnel cakes, corndogs on a stick, snow cones and ice cream.
Such fairs/carnivals were close enough to walk to and cheap enough for the whole family to attend and a good way to meet friends and people you knew as you walked around as well as letting the kids have a little excitement and fun.

Arkansas during its French Ownership
1672 Father Marquette and Louis Joliet French Explored Northern Mississippi River
1682 Robert LaSalle French Traveled to the mouth of the Mississippi River and claimed it for France
While Louis XIV reigned in France, plans were made to investigate the American continent that had been visited by French, English and Spanish explorers and settlers. Two young men, Louis Joliet, a fur trader, and Jacques Marquette, a Jesuit missionary, were chosen to lead an expedition from a mission at the northeast corner of Lake Michigan into the center of the unknown continent. Joliet was an experienced map-maker and geographer, Marquette an accomplished linguist who spoke half a dozen Native American languages. Joliet's mission was to find the river the natives called Messipi, "the Great Water," and follow it to the sea. Marquette's goal was to spread the word of his god among the people they encountered.
On May 17, 1673, Marquette, Joliet, and five men on two birchbark canoes set off. Following the northern and western shores of Lake Michigan, they paddled down the Fox River, portaged to the Wisconsin River, and then found themselves on the Mississippi. More than a month into their journey, Marquette and Joliet, leaving their men to guard their canoes, walked unarmed into an Illinois Indian village. Marquette's robes were recognized and they were welcomed into the village and fed. On their departure, the chief of the village gave them a calumet, a peace pipe, to present to potentially hostile tribes, and lent them his own ten-year-old son, who would help guide them on their journey.
Past the Ohio River, near the present site of St. Louis, the calumet came in handy. A swarm of Arkansas Indians surrounded the canoes and prepared to defend their territory. Marquette told his men to hold their fire and raised the pipe as high as he could, even as a club flew past his head. When the calumet was recognized, the conflict was immediately over and the Frenchmen were taken to Akansea, the chief village of the tribe, near the mouth of the Arkansas River. There the elders told the explorers that further down the Mississippi were other foreigners with guns. From the descriptions they were given, the two Frenchmen inferred that the Mississippi led to the Gulf of Mexico, occupied by the Spanish. Not wanting to risk losing this valuable information, the party turned back toward Quebec.

White House Letter on Health Care
The White House, Washington
Good afternoon, You are receiving this email because you signed up at White House.gov. My staff and I plan to use these messages as a way to directly communicate about important issues and opportunities, and today I have some encouraging updates about health care reform. The Vice President and I just met with leaders from the House of Representatives and received their commitment to pass a comprehensive health care reform bill by July 31. We also have an unprecedented commitment from health care industry leaders, many of whom opposed health reform in the past. Monday, I met with some of these health care stakeholders, and they pledged to do their part to reduce the health care spending growth rate, saving more than two trillion dollars over the next ten years -- around $2,500 for each American family. Then on Tuesday, leaders from some of America's top companies came to the White House to showcase innovative ways to reduce health care costs by improving the health of their workers. Now the House and Senate are beginning a critical debate that will determine the health of our nation's economy and its families. This process should be transparent and inclusive and its product must drive down costs, assure quality and affordable health care for everyone, and guarantee all of us a choice of doctors and plans. Reforming health care should also involve you. Think of other people who may want to stay up to date on health care reform and other national issues and tell them to join us here: www.whitehouse.gov/EmailUpdates
Health care reform can't come soon enough. We spend more on health care than any country, but families continue to struggle with skyrocketing premiums and nearly 46 million are without insurance entirely. It is a priority for the American people and a pillar of the new foundation we are seeking to build for our economy. We'll continue to keep you posted about this and other important issues.
Thank you, Barack Obama
