Washington News Observer sat down with Rep. Michele Bachmann to discuss the latest twist and turns in the health care debate. Rep. Bachmann has taken the lead in calling for citizens concerned about a government take over of health care to rally at the U.S. Capitol on Thursday, November 5th and make “house calls” on their members of Congress. Info on that event can be found …..HERE….Renew America!
Talk radio host and best selling author Mark Levin will join with Michelle Bachmann on the Capital Steps on Thursday at noon. Concerned Americans will join the top conservatives to protest the Pelosi nationalized health care disaster.
From the Representative Bachmann’s website:
Bachmann Calls on the American People to Bring the Town Hall To Washington “This is the deciding moment and the people need to make sure their representatives know where they stand.”
Washington, D.C.
WHAT: Health Care “House Call” on Washington Press Conference
WHO: Republican Members of Congress Americans concerned about our health care future Other Guests – TBA
WHEN: Thursday, November 5, 2009 from 12:00-1
WHERE: East Front Steps of the U.S. Capitol (House Side)
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.”
Bachmann believes this is one of the last chances to stop Pelosi’s push to bring Socialized Medicine to America:
“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.”
Wild Thing’s comment……….
Actor Jon Voight will also be giving a speech at the rally. He is a Troop loving patriot and a strong Conservative. Great to see he’s going to be there too.
…. Thank you Jim for sending this to me.
One would have to know that Michelle Bachmann has a good message when they see that she is so hated by the liberals. Go Michelle!

Michelle Bachmann is one of my heroes. She is the kind of Republican we conservatives wish they all were. There are some good Repubs in office, just not enough. I wish I could go to DC Thurs. No doubt however many show up, the MSM will ignore them, but there may be enough people to sway the blue dog Dems.
Isn’t Rep. Bachmann wonderful? She is so articulate and speaks to the truth. NE OH is abuzz with bus activity heading to DC. It is so very inspiring!! How exciting and rewarding to be a part of this grassroots tsunami!
