Hands off Our Health Care Rallies


Before the Senate can use reconciliation to force through a final version of the health care bill, the House will have to pass the unpopular and deal laced Senate health care bill. And we must stop them.

Speaker Pelosi will use every trick in the book to try and find the 216 votes she will need to ram through the health care bill passed "pre-Scott Brown" with 60 votes in the Senate back in December. This will be the key vote.

To combat this health care takeover, Americans for Prosperity is holding a number of "Hands Off Our Health Care Rallies" around the country to send a message to our elected officials. Rallies are planned in the following states, with additional rallies being planned:

Arizona
Georgia
Illinois
Indiana
Nevada
New Hampshire
New Jersey
Ohio
Washington, DC
Washington State

Final Health Care Showdown!

The House will soon be asked to vote on the Senate-passed H.R. 3590. This disastrous bill will raise taxes, force Americans to buy expensive insurance they may not want or need, and create over 100 new federal bureaucracies to micromanage decisions of doctors and patients. Take Action Now!

Stop the EPA Powergrab!

Stop the EPA Powergrab!

This week, the president actually said the nation is “waiting for [Washington] to act” on the health care issue. This is arrogance and political posturing at its worst. Like us, the president knows the truth. Every reputable public opinion poll for months has clear majorities of the American people saying “NO” to the health care “reform” coming out of Washington, D.C.

Now is the time to finish the job of protecting this most personal freedom by stopping the Democrats’ Washington takeover of our health care in the U.S. House of Representatives.
