Local Senators are in hiding…The fix may be in…but we will carry the fight to Richmond Jan 18.
We have blown up Warner and Webb’s phones to a point where they’ve had to change their voice mail messaging. They are both keeping a low profile during this fight. Please keep calling, but I think that the Dems will eventually buy off enough politicians to pass some kind of Health Care Reform bill. But the reconcillliation between house and Senate bills will be another opportunity to put pressure on all of our Federal officals. The House Bill and Senate bill are miles apart.
But if and when they cobble together a bill, the fight will not be over.
January 18. We will attend this rally in Richmond.
01/18/2010 9:00 am
1 Capitol Square
Richmond, VA 23219
The Virginia 10th Amendment Revolution Lobby Day/Rally is to be held on capitol grounds in support of 10th amendment legislation to challenge the powers of the federal government not delegated to it by the states. We will lobby and rally on behalf of this bill that will allow Virginians to ignore the unconstitutional and oppressive Health Care Reform mandates.
Lobbying will begin at 9:00AM and go on throughout the day with a Rally hosted by Virginia Campaign for Liberty at the Bell Tower from 10 – 11AM.
We will have a bus (hopefully busses) leaving for Richmond at 6:00 AM that morning. The cost per person will be $25 and the bus will return to Roanoke that afternoon. Information will be put ont he website within a few days that will allow you to purchase your seats on line.

Here’s some suggested verbiage…
Suggested script:
Dear Delegate________________,
Our current administration is intent on a complete health care take-over that will drastically transform the health care system, cost the taxpayers trillions of dollars, and will result in the greatest power grab to threaten individual liberty and the free market in the history of this nation.
Delegate Bob Marshall has introduced HB10, Virginia Healthcare Freedom Act (VHFA). I ask that you please support this important legislation to protect our state’s rights and our freedom of choice over our own health care, our right to choose whether or not to carry health care coverage, and the type of coverage we choose to carry.
Sincerely,
(Your name)
I’ll be contacting them too…so I’ll share their positions on the bill shortly.
