"Angry mobs of rabid
right-wing extremists."
Brad Woodhouse, Democrat National Committee
"Astroturf.
"….manufactured anger. "
Robert Gibbs, White House spokesman
"experts at fake grassroots
campaigns that promote corporate interests."
Rachel Maddow, MSNBC
"oil industry and
Republican operative millionaires' club"
Rachel Maddow, MSNBC
This is what the elites in Washington, D.C. and
the national media are saying about Americans like you who are simply
standing up and defending your freedoms.
Hundreds of thousands of folks like you are
attending rallies, going to congressional town hall meetings, e-mailing
and calling your member of Congress, and telling these politicians to
vote NO on the health care takeover and the jobs-killing cap-and-trade
energy tax.
And, because you're speaking out - simply telling
YOUR elected representatives how you want them to vote - you are being
vilified, demeaned and attacked by the Obama administration, by many
politicians in Congress and by the national media.
This week, I've been on the road doing AFP rallies
against cap-and-trade in Monroe, LA; El Dorado, AR; Jonesboro, AR;
Sikeston, MO and Evansville, IN. I've met literally hundreds upon
hundreds of the greatest Americans there are - the man in his 80s in
Monroe who flew and fought with the Flying Tigers in China in WWII and
is still defending freedom today; the refinery worker in El Dorado who
brought his three kids to their first political event because "it's
such an important time"; and the lady in Sikeston who is putting 40
hours a week into building a local tea party organization because she
"couldn't live with myself if I didn't do something."
Yet, these American citizens and many more like
them are being viciously attacked because they care enough about their
country and their families to get involved.
Americans for Prosperity is under the same kind of
aggressive assault.
You see, the other side thinks they will be able
to intimidate you and me.
But they are wrong. They have misjudged
us.
I'm asking you to send a message that you're not
going to be intimidated by going to more town hall meetings, attending
rallies in your area, calling and e-mailing your members of Congress,
and getting your family members and friends involved.
Go to our website for ways to get involved CLICK
HERE. This weekend alone
AFP has the following coming up:
6 stops on the Patients First "Hands off My Health
Care Bus Tour" in Colorado
8 stops on the bus tour in North Carolina
Click
here to find a bus stop near you! We'll be heading to
Pennsylvania and North Dakota next week.
Also in Pennsylvania, AFP Foundation will be
holding its 2nd annual RightOnline conference to train activists on how
to be more effective using new media. CLICK
HERE to register!
We'll be back on the road the week of August 17
with our "Cost of Hot Air tour" in Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia and
Virginia. Meanwhile, Patients First "Hands Off My Health Care" rallies
will be rolling through Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Montana, and onward!
In fact, to see our entire massive roster of
events please CLICK
HERE.
On October 2nd, AFP is hosting a massive rally at
the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., right in the middle of the final
congressional battle over health care and cap-and-trade. I hope
you'll join us. CLICK
here for info.
Also check our website for listings we have of
congressional town hall meetings. If you don't see one listed in your
area, find out where they're happening and send us the info so we can
post it.
We have our opponents disoriented and on the
defensive. The clearest sign: instead of focusing on the
supposed benefits of their health care takeover and cap-and-trade, they
are now in full attack mode focusing their fire on you and me.
Their attacks will fail….if we refuse to be
intimidated into backing off.
Sincerely,
Tim Phillips
PS: I can tell you this - the Americans I
meet at our rallies and talk to on Facebook or via email are not
quitting. Facebook,
tweet,
email
me and let me know you're not going to be
intimidated. I'd love to hear from you.
