President Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi have made it clear they plan on using the nuclear method of “reconciliation” to ram health care through Congress in the next few weeks, regardless of how strongly the American people are against it.

Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter has stated that SHE will most likely support the bill.

We must let HER know that this vote is directly against the wishes of her constituents!

Join your fellow activists Tuesday at 6:00 PM as we have a "Hands Off My Health Care" rally to tell Congresswoman Shea-Porter to vote NO.

What: Rally Against the Congressional Healthcare Takeover
Where: Elks Club
41 Columbus Avenue
Rochester, NH
Date: Tuesday, March 16th

Light refreshments will be served.

How can you tell when a president is in trouble on a big issue? 

When politicians of his own party avoid appearing with him when he's in their home area.

Take yesterday. President Obama appeared in the Philadelphia suburbs to once again campaign for his health care takeover.  He delivered the usual falsehoods - for example, Fox News reported that the president claimed $868 billion in savings that is simply a made-up number. He promised that his plan will not cost small businesses more, when everyone knows costs will skyrocket on small businesses.

And three Democrat congressmen from the Philly area - Murphy, Carney and Holden - did not appear with the president from their own party. 

These three Democrats did not stand beside President Obama on their home turf, despite the fact that Obama carried Pennsylvania and their region in the 2008 election. 

They know what we know: The American people have turned against this corrupt Washington health care takeover. The polls clearly show it, with every reputable poll showing strong majorities against the legislation. These congressmen have their ears to the ground in their districts, and they hear the powerful grassroots anger. It’s anger against the president's arrogance in continuing to push a health care takeover while ignoring job losses and a still-faltering economy, despite the fact that the American people have clearly said, “Keep Your Hands Off My Health Care.”

We're just days away from a crucial vote in the House of Representatives. Despite all the big talk from Speaker Pelosi and the liberals, they STILL DO NOT HAVE THE VOTES to pass their health care takeover.

Wednesday, at 8 p.m. ET we're holding a national tele-town hall meeting with the 3rd ranking Republican in the House and a leading free-market champion - Congressman Mike Pence. I hope you'll join us. Call (888) 356-3090 Ext.14326#.

We'll brief you on key undecided House members, detail the likely timeline to be used by Speaker Pelosi, and Congressman Pence will walk through conservative alternatives along with his exchanges in recent weeks with President Obama. 

But, there's more we must do.

On March 16, we're holding the "Honk Against the Health Care Takeover" event. Here's what we're asking you to do. At 12 Noon your time on March 16, drive to your member of Congress's district office and join a car caravan there, circling your representative’s office while honking against the health care takeover.

Just CLICK HERE for more information and to let us know you're on board. You'll be able to print off your very own "Honk Against the Health Care Takeover" sign for your car when you register. Sign up tomorrow, March 10, to receive a free bumper sticker in the mail before March 16.

In addition, you can sign up to be a car caravan leader. You can pick a parking lot near your Congressman's office and let folks know you will be there to lead them over to the district office. It will be fun to meet fellow grassroots activists and to go over in a caravan to send your message.

Here's the bottom line. The president is in the midst of his final all-out push for his health care takeover. Yes, his campaign is dishonest and over-the-top. But, to their credit they are refusing to quit this fight. So, we've got to beat them in these final days before the House vote.

They've put everything on the line for their ideology, as flawed as it is. 

The question for us is:  will we do the same for our values, our freedoms and our nation?

Knowing what I know about Americans like us, I believe the answer will be a resounding YES. 

Tim

PS:  You want to see just how we're winning with the American people?  Our friends at HotAir.com have a story up showing that in a new Rasmussen poll 57% of Americans believe the Obama health care bill will "hurt our economy."  For more info from this story CLICK HERE

President Obama finally made it official yesterday:  he wants Congress to ignore Senate rules - and the American people - and use a parliamentary trick called "reconciliation" to pass his health care takeover legislation.  Fortunately, there's a catch: before the Senate can use reconciliation to force through Obama's tweaks, the House would have to pass the Senate health care bill.  And we must stop them. 

In his remarks the president demanded that Congress cave in and vote "in the next few weeks." 

The key vote will now occur in the House of Representatives - perhaps within 10 to 12 days - and we have to win it.  That's because it's impossible for the Senate to make changes via reconciliation until after the Senate bill has passed the House.  Of course, once the Senate bill passes the House, President Obama will sign it and it will become the law of the land - whether or not the reconciliation trick makes some changes around the edges. 

Speaker Pelosi will use every trick in the book to try and find the 216 votes she will need to ram through the health care bill passed "pre-Scott Brown" with 60 votes in the Senate back in December.  This will be the key vote. 

You remember the Senate bill... 2,700 pages of big government waste, fraud and abuse... corrupt back-room deals including the "Cornhusker Kickoff" to buy Ben Nelson's vote, the $300 million "Louisiana Purchase" to buy Senator Landrieu's vote... $1 trillion in new spending that will run up the deficit... tens of thousands of new government bureaucrats and dozens of new federal agencies... government boards to decide what medical treatments will be allowed and for which citizens based on the government's view of "quality of life"... a vast new entitlement when current entitlements like Medicare and Social Security are already headed for bankruptcy.  I could go on but you get the picture.

Democrats in the House will try to justify their votes for the disastrous Senate bill based on vague promises that it will be "fixed" later. But no changes could fix this disastrous bill. If the Senate bill passes the House, a Washington takeover of health care will be a certainty.  

That means in just the next few days, we've got to make sure our individual members of the House of Representatives feel the maximum heat from grassroots activists like you and me.

You may think, "My member is a firm NO vote, so it's a waste of time" or the opposite, "My member of Congress is a YES vote so why call or email?"  Here's why I'm asking you to call and email them anyway:  we need to show the national outrage over this latest attempt to ram this through, and that means burying Congress, all of Congress, with personal calls and emails from Americans. 

I'm asking you to take 3 steps.

1. Call and email your member of Congress in the next 24 hours.  CLICK HERE to email your member, and CLICK HERE to call your member; - based on your zip code we can provide the right information for your representative.  Tell them to vote NO on the corrupt, big government Senate health care takeover bill and tell them Americans do not want this parliamentary trick called "reconciliation."   

2.  Forward this email to your friends, family, co-workers, and fellow activists across the nation asking them to do the same thing.  They may not know how much the House vote matters. Your friends and family need to hear from someone they know and trust that now is a crucial time on health care and protecting our freedoms.

3.  Commit to being a part of the "Honk Against the Health Care Takeover" event on March 16.  Here's how it will work.  On March 16 at 12 noon your time, we're asking you to drive to your nearest congressional district office CLICK HERE FOR THE OFFICE NEAREST YOU and drive around the office for at least 15 minutes occasionally honking your horn. Our goal is to have Americans across the nation telling the politicians to keep their hands off our health care through this "Honk Against the Health Care Takeover" effort. 

CLICK HERE to let us know you'll join the effort and please recruit your friends.  To show people why you’re honking, when you register we’ll send you a "Honk Against the Health Care Takeover" bumper sticker. You’ll also be able to download and print a sign for your car window on our website.

Yesterday, the president actually said the nation is "waiting for [Washington] to act" on the health care issue. This is arrogance and political posturing at its worst. Like us, the president knows the truth.  Every reputable public opinion poll for months has clear majorities of the American people saying "NO" to the health care "reform" coming out of Washington, D.C.

Now is the time to finish the job of protecting this most personal freedom by stopping the Democrats' Washington takeover of our health care in the U.S. House of Representatives.

P.S.:  I know you've done so much already on health care, and that's one key reason we've won till now.  But we've got to defeat them again in order to save our health care freedoms and stop the biggest new government entitlement in over a generation. CLICK HERE to join our "Honk Against the Health Care Takeover" effort.  

Are you looking for a specific way to make your voice heard and protect your family's health care from these Washington politicians?

You can do that right now by helping us reach millions of Americans with this hard-hitting TV ad.  Click the video below:

Will you take a moment right now and pitch in to keep this crucial message on the air?  By March 1st, our team must have the funds available to run this ad in key media markets throughout the month of March.

Your investment today will give you the control you deserve over the raging health care debate, and get this powerful message out to millions of Americans as the health care debate comes down to the wire.

To watch President Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid in today's sham"bi-partisan summit," you'd think they forgot that the American people have already rejected a government takeover of our health care.  Their arrogance in the face of such massive grassroots opposition is astounding...if you and I don't do everything we can, it's clear that they will fundamentally damage America.

Right now, Obama, Pelosi and Reid are even considering using a parliamentary trick called"reconciliation" to ram their Washington takeover of health care down the throats of the American people without a full vote of the U.S. Senate.  Today, as I stood outside the summit with hundreds of grassroots activists delivering our message, I spoke with two ladies who had driven that morning all the way from TENNESSEE.  One lady told me, "Tim, this fight is important enough for me to leave my house at 3am and drive 7 hours to make sure I do my part."

Now, it's up to you and me to make sure our fellow Americans understand the serious threats to their health if we allow the Left to use parliamentary games to force this health care takeover though over the clear will of the American people.

That's why Americans for Prosperity Foundation just launched this new hard-hitting TV ad - it's the personal story of a woman who survived cancer, but who may not have survived under the big-government regulations proposed by Barack Obama.

Your targeted investment today will help defeat the dangerous ideas that threaten our health and our freedoms.

Please forward this to friends and family so they can know the difference you are making.  Without the tireless work of grassroots members like you, we wouldn't have even made it this far.  You and I have worked too hard and we're not giving up now.  This new ad is just one more way we're working together, keeping up the fight for freedom.
 
Sincerely,

Tim
