We don't have much time to waste, since Obama wants to have a bill on his desk within a matter of weeks! Please download the Health Care Action Kit and bring copies with you to town hall meetings, district office visits and the taxpayer tea parties occurring in your area. Help us build opposition to the takeover of our health care system, and send shock waves back to Washington, D.C. with a message that we refuse to become a European-style welfare state.

Here are a few other ways you can help:

1. Submit a letter to the editor to your local newspaper on health care.

2. Download these materials to take to your local tea party on July 4th.

• Health Care Petition
• ObamaCare Insurance Cards
• Flyer for the 9-12 March on Washington

3. For more information on health care, download our policy papers.

When you are meeting with your Congressman, Senators or their staff, here are the three questions you should ask them:

1. The Congressional Budget Office has said the proposed government takeover of health care could cost $1.6 trillion. Other estimates put the cost much higher. Various officials have proposed raising taxes on soda and alcohol, a higher payroll tax, taxing current employer-provided health plans, and even a new national sales tax to fund this massive government program. Do you support any of these middle-class tax hikes to fund government-run health care? If not, how would you pay for it?

2. Under Obama’s plan, can you guarantee that I would get to keep my current health care plan and doctor? President Obama himself has actually said both “yes” and “no” to this question.

3. Provisions in the Obama plan call for “comparative effectiveness research” to be used to decrease costs. “Savings” are achieved by denying treatments based on criteria such as cost, a patient’s health and/or a patient’s age. Isn’t this health care rationing? Can you guarantee that a new government plan will not deny care to individuals in order to control costs?

July 4th is a time to remember who we are as a people, and what makes us special: our freedom. Let's re-dedicate ourselves to that principle and work together to defend our freedom this Independence Day by derailing the plan to give the federal government control over our health care.
