Dear Fellow Freedom Fighter:
I'm writing to you from our Americans
for Prosperity Foundation's RightOnline conference conference in
Pittsburgh, where almost 600 free-market activists are training to win
the battle for our freedoms online.
New York Times bestselling author
Michelle Malkin just spoke to the crowd.Since yesterday, these intrepid
activists have been learning in panel discussions like "blogging 101"
and "social networking communications".
One of the breakout sessions at RightOnline
Yesterday, hundreds upon hundreds of
activists gathered for our AFP rally to send Sen. Arlen Specter a
simple message -- vote NO on the health care takeover and NO on the
job-killing cap-and-trade.We heard from an amazing 11-year-old
Pennsylvania middle schooler named Quentin Cody who eloquently made the
case for freedom and from Teri Adams who
heads the Independence Hall Tea Party (Philadelphia).
The crowd roaring at the Send Specter a Message
Rally
And here's some encouraging news from
the USA Today/Gallup poll published Thursday.In a survey of 1,000
adults, 34% of Americans say demonstrators at town hall style meetings
(that's you and me) have made them MORE SYMPATHETIC to the protesters'
views, and only 21% said the protests made them less sympathetic.
Even more importantly, Independents by a 2 to 1 margin (35% to 16%) say
they are MORE SYMPATHETIC to the protesters' (our) views.These
Independents are the Holy Grail of politics, and they're agreeing with
us that the health care takeover is a disaster for our families and our
nation.
In the face of the Obama Administration, Pelosi, Reid and their liberal
friends vilifying us as "un-American," "evil-mongers," "astroturf,"
"mobs" and worse -- the American people are taking our side against
these political elites.
If you ever wondered, "Can I make a difference by getting involved?"
here is your answer.Hundreds of thousands of Americans just like you
and me are getting involved.They're attending rallies, calling and
emailing their elected officials, talking to friends and family.And,
it's working.It's making a difference.
You're making a difference.
But, we face enormous challenges.Right across town, the left-wing
NetRoots Nation is meeting to plot how they are going to turn things
around for their side.They heard from Bill Clinton Thursday who made an
aggressive pitch for government-run health care.Sen. Arlen Specter
spoke to the liberal crowd and bragged that he would help them pass Card
Check and other "Democrat priorities" by opposing filibusters.
We've still got a long way to go.To win, we must keep up the pressure.
Keep winning over new supporters. Keep turning out at rallies and
events.
Americans for Prosperity's Patients First 'Hands
Off My Health Care' bus continues -- one's in Montana
right now and the other heads to Indiana first thing Monday.Our
anti-cap-and-trade "Cost
of Hot Air" tour gets back on the road this Tuesday
hitting Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia and Virginia. Please come to one
of these great events.
And, make plans now to come to Washington, D.C. for a national "Town
Hall" meeting on October 2nd, as well as Americans for Prosperity
Foundation's 3rd Defending the American Dream Summit right at the final
decisive moments in the health care and cap-and-trade battles and I
want you there!
Sincerely,
Tim Phillips
