FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 22, 2010 CONTACT: Levi Russell at (509) 979-6615 or Levi@FrontLineStrat.com 25,000+ BACK PUSH TO "REPEAL THE HEALTH CARE BILL" HOURS AFTER VOTE! Just hours after the House vote in favor of the Obama-Pelosi-Reid government-run healthcare plan, opponents of the measure have rallied on line to fight for the bill's repeal. A petition drive launched by the Tea Party Express has received more than 25,000 signatures during the past 12 hours. And the rate of new signatures to the petition is exploding. The petition can be viewed here: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/repealhealthcarebill/ The petition signature count can be viewed - be sure to hit "Refresh" to see the count grow ever-higher - here: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/repealhealthcarebill/signatures "As Americans wake up to the news that Congress has once again defied the will of the people, and the Constitution, we here in the tea party movement are fighting back. We're going to Kill The Bill one way or the other," said Mark Williams, Chairman of the Tea Party Express. "And now we've been given a handy target list for candidates to defeat in the upcoming November 2010 congressional elections. If you voted for this push towards socialism, then you might want to start packing up your office belongings right now. Because we here in the tea party movement are going to be handing out pink slips on Election Day!" Williams added. There has been one other noticeable result from the House vote on healthcare. A surge in emails and phone calls to the Tea Party Express about supporting the upcoming "Just Vote Them Out" national tea party tour, beginning with the "Showdown in Searchlight" kickoff event in Harry Reid's hometown of Searchlight, NV.
"We've found out the past several hours just how many people are determined to come to Searchlight and help us defeat Harry Reid and send him home for an early retirement," Williams concluded.
Tea Party Express III: Just Vote Them Out national tour kicks off March 27th in Searchlight, NV with 42 tea party rallies across the nation, ending in Washington, D.C. for the Tax Day Tea Party on April 15th. More information available online at: www.TeaPartyExpress.org

I agree. I don’t sign on line petitions. I always assume they are a vehicle for collecting names and email addresses.
There are other ways to show our displeasure.
Dear Xxxxx,
Late Sunday night Nancy Pelosi and President Obama finally managed to ram through their massive government takeover of healthcare. A monument to the triumph of ideology over economics, hubris over the clear wishes of the majority of Americans, and political power over the Constitution. Make no mistake, this program will do more to change the fabric of our economy and the role of our government than anything else done in almost 50 years!
America cannot afford this program.
Another useless petition and an opportunity to contribute. I did write back kind of impolitely and asked someone to call me if they had the fortitude to do so.

You’re beating a dead horse.
I agree and I’m ready.
Where is everybody else? Who will lead this?
You are going to run out of firewood
Sorry to see you give up so easily
Got any ideas?
LOL my bad!
I read Signed: Now 31,007
As Signed: NoV 31,007
And I haven’t even started drinking yet!
We need someone strong and powerful. Someone worthy of being the President of the NEW counrty from all of who leave Obama land behind.
They and we WON'T wear the velvet chains even though they describe them as being so very comfortable
Okay, now it makes sense. LOL
I was wondering what you were trying to say.
That’s a good one.
I think the key to preventing that is showing the negative impact the bill has in seemingly unrelated areas.
I think this will be initiated in the form of amendments offered by the pubs in the senate to the reconciliation bill. Those amendments won’t pass, but their real purpose is to expose these negative by-products.
It’s up to us to read those and take them up with the public, explaining the negative impact or outcome produced by whatever aspect of the bill the amendment addresses.
Signed and posted on “I will not comply” facebook page!
We are now over 31,000 and rising!
Legislative repeal will require >67 votes in the Senate.
Find another way.
Yep. It’s better to have one petition that 20 million people sign than a 800 different petitions that only 25,000 sign each.
They do not care, you are correct. I am sick and tired of not being represented.
It is time to take other measures.
