Subject: URGENT: Kill the Bill - Action Guide
Dear Fellow American Patriots:
As you all know the House will vote on a health care bill this week. Most states have an action plan. Big events are happening all week. It has been one big roller coaster ride!
Bottom line is we are now in the final countdown. The entire House will vote on a health care bill this week, as early as Thursday afternoon.
For months tea party affiliates have been working feverishly to make sure that government run health care legislation is NOT passed. We have done it all:
We’ve yelled.
We’ve called.
We’ve emailed.
We’ve written.
We’ve rallied.
We’ve even marched on the Capitol.
Still our cries and concerns have not been heard. We have cried tears of despair and shouted in frustration, but still many are not listening. We know you all are so very tired. We know that each tea party organizer and member have worked tirelessly each and everyday, trying to do your part, have a voice, make a difference. Each of you has done a great job at speaking your hearts, here online, in your communities.
Some are calling for more angry protests, even storming the Capitol, but let’s not give the media another chance to falsely portray us as an unruly mob.
INSTEAD, LET’S REMIND THEM WHY WE ARE FIGHTING FOR OUR COUNTRY.
Together, with the doctors of Take Back Medicine and the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, the Patriots of Tea Party Patriots Live, Resistnet, and the Tea Party Express, are going to STAND TOGETHER, speak from the heart, and remind Washington we will stand together to protect this country!
On Thursday, November 5th, Representative Michele Bachman (MN) will stand on the steps of the Capitol in Washington, D.C. She will be joined by other Members of Congress and many Patriots from across this country. People will be traveling from coast to coast, to stand shoulder to shoulder with other Patriots in Washington this week.
We know most of you can’t get to Washington again so soon…..
So let’s join Representative Bachman and other Patriots by turning out at State Capitols and Congressional district offices across the country.
Instead of yelling or protesting, let’s sing “God Bless America” at 12:30 pm EST at every location across the country. Let’s send a message that says “WE STAND TOGETHER!”

I have all of the above set to go. Thanks for the heads up! In less than 4 hours, we have 55 people, family, friends and neighbors ready to go... We are also mustering up a Share A Ride so that we can keep congestion down along with cost...
If they continue to ignore us... it will be their problem... not ours...
