11/5 Michele Bachmann Capitol steps meeting - memo
Stephani Scruggs, Florida Coordinator for the 912 Project sent these suggestions for those attending the Capitol Hill lobbying effort at noon on 11/5 (meeting Michelle Bachmann on the Capitol steps). Remember, do not bring signs. This is not a rally:
Here's a suggestion from one of our fellow patriots out west. Bring a copy of the Constitution with you to DC. When you get the opportunity to speak with a Congressman or their staff, ask them to show you exactly where the constitution grants the Federal Government the ability to legislate Healthcare. If they respond with "the commerce clause", agree yes, insurance is not made "regular" between states, (insurance can not be sold across state lines), however this only makes up a fractional percentage of the bill. So ask them to explain where the constitution grants them the power to enact the rest of the bill.
Above all, remember our 12 Values and 9 Principles. Be polite, even if they are not. Be respectful, even if they are not. And please, please, please, keep you messages on point. This visit is NOT personal. It is NOT about Obama, Pelosi or any one official. This is about Legislation. If we resort to any sort of name calling, or insulting messages aimed at any one party, the media will once again paint this as nothing more than a race driven anti-Obama protest. To maintain our credibility, we must stay focused...this is about the legislation only.
Have a good trip everyone. Those of us back here in the great state of Florida will be praying for you.
Godspeed & God bless,
Stephani Scruggs
Florida Coordinator
