</FONT></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>Dear MoveOn member,
<div style="MARGIN: 1em 0px">Dawn Smith has made a big decision about her battle with CIGNA over her brain tumor.</div>
<div style="MARGIN: 1em 0px"><FONT face="Arial, Verdana, sans-serif" size=2>CIGNA still won't promise to cover all the treatment she needs. And they still won't explain why they've denied her care for two years, let alone whether they'll change their policies.</FONT></div>
<div style="MARGIN: 1em 0px"><B>So she's going to drive up to CIGNA's headquarters in Philadelphia to confront the CEO, H. Edward Hanway, in person.</B></div>
<div style="MARGIN: 1em 0px">Traveling isn't easy for Dawn, but she's determined to take CIGNA on. So we're helping her <SPAN class=Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: small; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif">rent a mobile home and hire a nurse who can take care of her while she takes the fight directly to CIGNA headquarters.</SPAN></div>
<div style="MARGIN: 1em 0px">If you're as moved by Dawn's bravery as we are, please send her a message of support on her blog, <A href="http://www.itcouldhappentoanyone.com/" target=_blank>It Could Happen To Anyone</A>, which she'll be updating from the road.</div>

<div style="MARGIN: 1em 0px">Fundamentally, Dawn isn't fighting just for herself. She's fighting for everyone who has struggled with irresponsible, unaccountable insurance companies.</div>
<div style="MARGIN: 1em 0px">By highlighting Dawn's struggle in the media and with members of Congress, we can make clear why health care reform—including real accountability for insurance companies—is such an urgent priority right now.</div>
<div style="MARGIN: 1em 0px">And as we all know, the need really is urgent. </div>
<div style="MARGIN: 1em 0px">In Dawn's case, all CIGNA has done so far is offer vague gestures aimed at doing the bare minimum to keep Dawn quiet—chalking up their outrageous behavior to "mix ups" and assuring her they're "in the business of caring." They're putting Band-Aids on problems that are more like bullet holes. But, unfortunately for CIGNA, Dawn's not planning to quiet down so easily—not until she gets the answers she needs.</div>
<div style="MARGIN: 1em 0px">That's why she's taking her campaign to the next level by taking her story on the road. </div>
<div style="MARGIN: 1em 0px">She'll confront CIGNA at their headquarters in Philadelphia. She'll try to <B>meet with members of Congress</B> in Washington and ask for their help. And she'll stop in cities and towns along the way to <B>collect stories from the countless other Americans who are suffering</B> at the hands of their insurance=2
