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.
