Meet Mike.

Mike owns a small family restaurant in Ralston, Nebraska. Recently, his insurance agent called and said his health care premiums were being raised this year -- by a whopping 42%.

Now he'll have to cancel his insurance. Worried, he says, "I'm just going to pray my kids don't get sick."

Mike and his family can't wait for health care reform. But their senator, Ben Nelson (D-NE), is leading an effort to delay the vote until after the Senate's August recess.

It's the latest tactic from the insurance industry: Stop reform by stalling it. Kill momentum at all costs. So we teamed up with Democracy for America to create a special rapid-response ad, featuring Mike and his story.

Check out our new TV ad and sign our letter telling senators we can't afford to wait for reform. Click here.

In the ad, Mike asks Sen. Nelson to choose between his family and the health and insurance industries that gave Nelson over $2 million. It's powerful stuff and will air in Nebraska and Washington DC. We'll also tell the media and senators about the growing number of signers on our open letter.

President Obama recently warned against attempts "to delay and defeat reform," and he called the insurance industry's stalling tactics "the familiar Washington script." We need to insist that the Senate take action now.

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
