This is the deciding moment and the people need to make sure their representatives know where they stand."

Washington, D.C., Nov 2 –
WHAT: Press Conference on Health Care Reform Vote
WHO: Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (MN)
Congressman Tom Price, MD (GA), Chairman RSC
Congressman Michael Burgess, MD (TX)
Congressman Scott Garrett (NJ)
Congressman Steve King (IA)
WHEN: Thursday, November 5, 2009
12:00 pm (noon)
WHERE: West Steps of the Capitol

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann released the following statement as the House of Representatives approaches a vote on the Democrats’ health care reform proposal:

“The American people spoke loud and clear at town hall meetings all across the country throughout August. But, it would appear that Congress didn’t hear a word they had to say. The Democrats’ latest health care proposal unveiled late last week may be packaged a little differently, but it’s the same old bad bill as before.

“This bill is a trillion-dollar, budget-busting, government takeover of our health care system. It will put bureaucrats between people and their health care. It will lead to rationed care, hurting the most vulnerable amongst us first. It will break the bank, leaving our children to pay the bill with diminished freedoms and dwindling prosperity.

“The American people need to stand up again and make sure that Congress hears them this time. Speaker Pelosi is putting her bill on fast track to a vote – and it remains to be seen if the House will even get a chance to vote on the commonsense Republican alternatives. The people need to make a House Call on Washington this week and tell their Representatives to vote no to a government take-over of one-fifth of our economy. This is gangster government at its worst.

“I urge all Americans to come to Washington this Thursday. Come and meet up with your Representative and tell them that you want to control your health care.”

After talking w/Doc @ the KC rally on Saturday, we decided to do all we can do right now & for us it's DC. Quick road trip out, do the rally & march, then head back on Sunday. Glad there are options for everyone! Hope each location gets an unbelievably large turnout that will cause Washington & our nation to wake up!

The plan right now is to link up in Cameron and 'convoy' on Hwy 36 to and then north to Quincy. If we leave KC about 7 AM we'll be in Quincy about 11:00 AM and the party doesn't start until; 1:00PM so we ought to be able to get good spots.

If we get enough response we can look into renting a 15 passenger van and sharing the cost or even better if we get a lot of response we'll go for a bus :-)

For those of us who can't afford the trip to DC for the 9-12 events, there's some talk on the 9-12 ning site about putting together a 'road trip' to Quincy Illinois for the 9-12 event there. Music and guest speakers I'll post updates here as well.

Here's a link to Ann Coulter's latest piece on Health Care, Liberal Lies about Health Care I can't simply post it here because of copyright issues, but I did link to the print version so there's not a lot of advertising.

Subject: Fw: This Sunday Evening....

Received this from a friend: "Mark your calendar - This Sunday, August 9, 2009, on Fox's Sean Hannity ~ FoxNews, is going to air a very important documentary about Barack Obama, Sunday night at 8:00 PM central / 9 PM eastern. He stated on the air last evening that no one in the news media was willing to do this. Hannity is going back to Obama's earlier days, showing even then his ties to radical professors, friends, spiritual advisers, etc., and that he will show in detail his ties to Rev. Wright for 20+ yrs. How he was participating with this man, and not for the reasons he states! He has uncovered more of Obama's radical leaders and we will see things that no one in the media is willing to put out there. This will be a night that you will learn more about Obama than ever before Hannity is very passionate about this program and asked that everyone please, please watch~~
Sunday night, 8 PM. CT; 9 PM ET

When you get something organized, let me know. I am in Princeton.

Thank you, Linda Boland, for stepping up. I will be glad to help anyway I can -- I've never done any "political" organizing, but I'm a fast study. Just need some direction. I'm in Chillicothe.
