Tea Party Patriots Health Care Events
IMPORTANT – July 17 Simultaneous Health Care Freedom Tea Parties from Coast to Coast (11 a.m. – 12 p.m. CST)
Join your fellow Tea Party Patriots on July 17th at the local home office of each Congressman and Senator to make it absolutely clear we oppose government run health care. These will occur simultaneously across the country from Noon to 1:00 PM Eastern, 9:00 to 10:00 AM Pacific. From Florida to Washington, from Maine to California, from Alaska to Hawaii and everywhere in between you and thousands of other Tea Party Patriots will assemble together outside the offices of those who are elected to represent us, and make our voices heard once again.
visit http://teapartypatriots.org/HC.aspx for sign ideas, talking points and other information. A link to the Heath Care Petition is also posted there. Sign up for the Heath Care Protest (you can OPT OUT of emails, we will NOT share your information). http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?hl=en&formkey=cjhic2VwZjJwUTRpWkQ4bmRheUk4WXc6MA. Links to flyers and other useful materials below.
The Tea Party is asking everyone to voice your concerns about the Government now trying to regulate your health care choices. We need you and anyone else you can bring in order to achieve our goal of having massive numbers to make our point outside every single district office in the country. Take 1 hour off of work on July 17th to show up and speak out.
Some Americans do not want to protest, they are either too busy or don’t feel the need to get involved in politics. THAT is what this Administration and many in Congress are counting on. This protest doesn’t require you to stand with a sign, you can use the letter sample below and mail it to your Congressman. The BETTER alternative is to take 15 minutes to join us on Friday, take an early lunch, take time off, this is the time to ACT, not complain at home where your elected representatives can not see or hear you.
Please forward this information to your friends, family, neighbors and others that you know. Post them at local businesses (get permission) and other points around town.

Ideas for Protest Signs from Your Fellow Tea Party Patriots
SAMPLE LETTER:
As your constituent, a fellow American, and citizen of the great state of Texas, I am writing to ask you to vote against any bill that will give the government increased control over healthcare and will lead to nationalized health care in the United States.
The documented accounts of rationing of medical services, long wait line for diagnosis and then longer wait lines for treatment, and inferior medical care cannot be ignored. In America, while our health care system may not perfect, we are able to choose our doctors, the doctors determine the best course of treatment for their patients, and there is no rationing of medical services. Additionally, in America, uninsured patients cannot be denied treatment in public hospital emergency rooms, so those uninsured patients are able to get the treatment they need in a timely manner.
If you insist on voting for government run health care, I implore you to do 4 things:
Promise and commit to change your health insurance and your immediate family members’ health insurance to the new government run program.
Promise and sign the pledge to read the bill and allow public input on the final bill for a minimum of 72 hours before voting.
Guarantee you will vote against any bill that will lead to rationing of medical services that will limit in any way the ability for a patient to choose his or her doctor, and that will cause longer wait times before diagnosis and before treatment.
Guarantee you will vote against any bill that will increase the cost of medical care through increased taxes, reduced competition of medical providers, reduced competition of private sector health insurance.
Will you make these four commitments to your voters and American taxpayers? If you will not make these four commitments, why won’t you? What stands in your way of making these promises to insure that the superior medical care in America is not compromised in anyway? Why would you vote for a bill and then be unwilling to live by its consequences as an example to your constituents?
Please answer these questions in a return mailing to me. I eagerly await your reply as the future of my physical well being now seems to be in your hands. Thank you!
Sincerely,
YOUR NAME
