Tell Ann, Gabby, and Harry: NO Washington Take-Over of Health Care!!!

Dear Arizona Taxpayer:

Forget reconciliation. The real battle is in the House. And the House could vote as soon as March 18 to let Washington bureaucrats take over the American health care system.

As AFP policy director Phil Kerpen explains, “The House vote is all that matters. If the Senate bill passes the House, Obama will sign it and it will be the law of the land.

Maybe the Senate will make some tweaks to it via reconciliation. Maybe they won’t. Ultimately it won’t matter, because either way vast new taxes will be imposed to support over 100 new regulatory entities that will give Washington the power to micromanage every aspect of our health care. Either way we’ll all be forced, under threat of incarceration, to buy expensive health insurance from favored private insurance companies, whether we want it or not. In other words, if the House passes the Christmas Eve Senate bill [the corrupt Harry Reid bill], the game is up and the American people lose.”

It is up to US. We must stop the House vote NOW. Ann Kirkpatrick, Gabrielle Giffords, and Harry Mitchell are being tempted to vote for the corrupt Senate bill. Nancy Pelosi wants to count them as Yes votes for the government takeover. We must put pressure on them NOW.

Please JOIN US for three important upcoming protests in favor of health care freedom:  (note this was posted after the first event in Tucson on March 9)
