Campaign to Defeat "Competitive Option" Healthcare Plan Unveiled

 

THOUSANDS OF LETTERS HEADING TO POLITICIANS

 

(ON THE ROAD IN CENTRAL OREGON) - Tea Party Express II: Countdown to Judgment Day (www.TeaPartyExpress.org) has launched a campaign during its national tour to defeat the "competitive option" (previously known as "public option" or "government-run") healthcare plan.

 

At each of the Tea Party Express II rally stops, a table has been set up with paper and envelopes for rally attendees to write letters to their local members of the House and Senate - opposing the government-run healthcare plan.  The letters are being collected at each rally and then hand delivered to the politicians directly.

 

The effort is being spearheaded by Tea Party Express tour participant, Amy Kremer, who has been a lead organizer in the tea party movement since it formed in February.

 

The Tea Party Express II is a 19-day, 7,000-mile journey across the country with a caravan of vehicles holding tea party rallies in 38 cities across America.  The Tea Party Express is advocating for less government spending, an end to the bailouts, lower taxes, opposition to government-run healthcare and opposition to the growth in the size and intrusiveness of government in general

CD10: CBS poll shows Garamendi leads by 10 points

By Lisa Vorderbrueggen
Thursday, October 29th, 2009 at 6:49 pm in 2009 CD10 special election.

Harmer

Garamendi

A new CBS Channel 5 poll conducted by SurveyUSA shows Democratic Lt. Gov. John Garamendi ahead of his GOP opponent David Harmer by 10 points.

Garamendi received 50 percent support, while Harmer took 40 percent followed by 6 percent for one of the three minor party candidates. Only 4 percent were undecided.

Folks may recall that SurveyUSA is the same outfit KPIX hired to do several pre-primary polls in this race. They turned out to be remarkably accurate.

The results of the only independent poll in this race reflect a wider gap than what Harmer’s campaign people said their internal poll of several weeks ago, a trend that should have gone the other direction if Harmer was gaining traction.

But given Democrats’ 18-point registration lead in the 10th District, it seems as though Garamendi ought to have a bigger lead.

The answer may be found

Hopefully our Tea Party in Walnut Creek yesterday will turn this around

My plan is to do nothing until Medicare if fixed.

39 trillion in unfunded mandates.

The government is to blame much more than doctors etc

Fix what you've got you government lackeys before starting another broken system

Thanks for the bump!
