AFP-Maryland Encourages Citizens to Rally In DC To Oppose Congressional Health Care Bill

-Hundreds of Marylanders will bus to Capitol to have their voice heard-

ANNAPOLIS – The Maryland chapter of Americans for Prosperity is urging all citizens to have their voice heard at an “Emergency Rally” at the Capitol in Washington, DC. Actor Jon Voight and others will be attending a Noon TEA Party to oppose the passage of a government take over of our health care system. Hundreds of Marylanders from Ocean City to Hagerstown will be making the trip via bus to Upper Senate Park.

“With a vote, or a questionable procedural move imminent, we are encouraging all citizens to attend this rally and visit their representatives to make sure they have their voice heard,” state Maryland state director Dave Schwartz. “It appears that Speaker Pelosi is a few votes short of passage. AFP-Maryland activists will be doing their part to make sure they don’t get the necessary 216 votes.”

While AFP-Maryland firmly opposes HR3590, we advocate a free-market approach to solving our health care crisis. Tort reform, purchasing insurance across state lines, and promoting Health Savings Accounts are just three ideas that would cut costs and expand coverage.
