The government takeover of health care will dramatically change the way we receive care and ultimately, the quality and access we expect today. More importantly, what is at stake is the relationship Americans have with their government – from one where we decide which insurance to buy and how to spend our own money to one where Washington bureaucrats mandate how and where you spend your own money.
But it’s not just about money. On a more fundamental level, our basic freedoms and beliefs are being attacked under what will be the largest expansion of government in the history of the United States. Bigger government will leave all Americans more dependent and less free to follow our own dreams. In short, the outcome of this battle will determine the trajectory of many more battles to come and we need your help to stop it.
Today, members of the NJ Tea Party Coalition will be joining Sen. Tom Coburn, M.D., Sen. Jim DeMint, Laura Ingraham, Americans For Prosperity, Tea Party Patriots, Freedom Works and other like-minded organizations as we tell the Senate: “Hands off our health care!” The Democratic leadership is trying to get to a final vote this week, so the timing couldn’t be better for us to take this stand.
If you were unable make it to Washington or to your local Senate office, please call your Senators’ offices at 1:30 p.m. You can find your Senator’s contact information on our website: Join Sen.
