People's Surge - Engagement DetailsDear Fellow Tea Party Patriots,
Time is running out. You must act now to stop the government takeover of your health care and of your liberty.
This Tuesday, March 16th - a day of direct action
We ask you to come to D.C. if possible. If you cannot come to D.C. visit your representative's local offices and phone, fax or visit the targeted Democrats in your state.
This government is no longer the government of Lincoln - "of the people, by the people, for the people" - it is a government against the people.
Your country needs you now. Stand up to the government and stand up for your liberty - just like we did in the Townhalls last summer and in the first American Tea Party in 1773.
This Tuesday, March 16thJoin us in Washington DC for a special day of (non-violent) political action. We are partnering with FreedomWorks for this event.
9am sharp, East Capitol Lawn across from Cannon House Office Building, for those not riding buses. (the lawn between the Capitol and the Supreme Court Building, Independence Avenue SE and New Jersey SE)
If you are riding a bus, the drop off point will the the West Capitol Lawn. (Maryland Ave. and 3rd Street SW)We will begin a dramatic march from the East Capitol Lawn to the congressional office buildings. The march will begin at 9:15a.m., so try to be there early. We want to have a huge crowd march with us. Invite all of your friends to join us.
ACTION ITEMS
1. We need everyone to visit their prospective representative in congress .
2. We need everyone to visit the targeted blue dog democrats.
3. Bring handwirtten letters, stating who you are, what you want and why you want it. In no uncertain terms state VOTE NO on this HealthCare bill.
Handwritten letters carry a lot of weight.
4. When entering the office of a representative, FIRST, ask to speak with your representative. If he or she is not available THEN SECONDLY, ask for the Chief of Staff or HealthCare Advisor or Assistant to the Representative.

Today, we are asking you to take a Moment of Silence at 12 noon for our country. Use this time to pray for our country and that our elected officials have the courage to represent us. Use the time to contemplate the sacrifices that have been made for our Constitution and liberty and to contemplate what eternal vigilance means. Consider what it is worth to you to insure that future generations enjoy the same liberties we enjoy today.
