Take the Town Halls to Washington

Despite the opposition of the vast majority of the American people to the Big Government health care takeover proposed by the Obama Administration, the President, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi are determined to ram down their socialist health care packages through the Congress.

So be it.

We are not without resources, ideas, or tactics to stop this monstrous abuse of our country's political process.

It's time to take the town halls to Washington, D.C.

For more details, please go to www.takethetownhallstowashington.com

Here's the idea:

Speaker Pelosi fears the unfriendly reception members of Congress who support Obamacare will receive when they return home in April at the Easter recess. In order to avoid forcing members of Congress to listen to their constituents at home, which might stop the bill, Speaker Pelosi is accelerating the process. She wants to force the House to vote up or down on Obamacare before the Easter recess.

If members of Congress won't come to their constituents, their constituents will come to them.

That's why we're launching "Take the Town Halls to Washington" on March 9, and we will keep this project going until March 31, 2010, or whenever Congress leaves for Easter recess.

The idea is to bring a tea party town hall to the 66 members of the House of Representatives whose support of Obamacare is wavering. We want to let them know there is only one vote their constituents will support: No on Obamacare. We are asking local tea party activists to travel to Washington during this period, and make sure that each of these 66 members is reminded every day that if they fail to vote against Obamacare, they will be voted out of office in November.

Bring your video cameras!

Here's the list of 66 members of Congress we intend to inform of their constituents' wishes each day they are in Washington from March 9 to March 31, 2010:

STOP LYING WOULD HELP ALOT!
1)CONGRESS IS NOT "RAMMING" THE BILL THROUGH WITH RECONCILIATION SINCE IT PASSED IN THE SENATE WITH 60 VOTES ON CHRISTMAS EVE (REMEMBER?)AND A SIMILAR ONE PASSED THE HOUSE WITH AN EVEN LARGER MAJORITY. RECONCILIATION IS ONLY BEING USED TO TWEAK THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TWO BILLS.
2) IT'S NOT A "TAKE OVER" OF 1/6TH OF THE ECONOMY - HOW CAN AN EXCHANGE OF PRIVATE INSURERS BE CONSIDERED A GOV'T. TAKE OVER?????
