Americans for Prosperity (AFP) is having a rally on August 19th to oppose any expansion of Medicaid in Virginia (and rights-reducing Obamacare, generally). Unfortunately for all VA taxpayers, expanding Medicaid will only result in higher taxes for all, once the federal government “sugar” runs out after the initial implementation. And let’s state the obvious fact…all federal dollars are really just borrowed from your children and grandchildren…the federal government is broke.
Please help us protect Virginia taxpayers and safeguard your children’s economic future by attending this rally in downtown Richmond. We NEED YOU THERE to counter the voices that will undoubtedly be there in an attempt to create a false sense of “majority support” for expanding “entitlement” programs. Can we count on you?

From AFP:
AFP VA “Hands Off My Healthcare” Rally
The legislative super committee is scheduled to meet again next month and decide whether or not to implement Obamacare and expand Medicaid in Virginia. When they met last month, over 250 Americans for Prosperity activists along with coalition partners shocked the political establishment by packing the meeting – a meeting where nobody was allowed to provide testimony. This time public testimony is encouraged…
We can stop a key part of Obamacare from coming to Virginia…
I don’t know about you, but I am frustrated with many of our politicians who aren’t fighting hard enough to oppose Obamacare implementation and Medicaid expansion. They know that Medicaid is broken. They know that expanding this government program could lead to higher death rates and doctor shortages…

[…] Without the Tea Party, we are lost. But what to do? I’ll tell you—keep your eyes on your email, the Richmond Tea Party web site, and Facebook page. We will be informing you of several events and tasks, large and small, during the next few weeks. There will be something to do almost every day! But, let me highlight one—on August 19th we will rally with Americans for Prosperity at the Bell Tower at Capitol Square. The rally begins at noon and is followed by an even more important event. The MIRC committee will have a hearing next door at 1:00. These are the folks who decide on Medicaid expansion for Virginia (which also expands Obamacare). WE MUST PACK THE ROOM! Be ready for the public comment period! Let them know we OPPOSE Medicaid expansion! This is a maximum effort event! We MUST put the heat on the decision-makers! Wear something that marks you as a Tea Party supporter. Find out more here. […]
THAT’S RIGHT! TEA PARTIERS get YOUR HANDS off my health care.
GET YOUR IM-MORAL HANDS off health care for frail elderly parents Virginians. Your TEA PARTY REPUBLICANS refuse to protect all frail elderly Virginians in Virginia’s Medicaid. They deny – out of outright prejudice – rights to gay and lesbian frail elderly Virginians that other frail elderly Virginians receive! GET YOUR IM-MORAL HATEFUL HANDS OFF MY HEALTH CARE.
GET YOUR IM-MORAL HANDS off my frail elderly parents. Your TEA PARTY REPUBLICANS refuse to cover my frail elderly parents – including TWO WW2 VETERANS! – long term care insurance because of hateful prejudice against gay Virginians. You HATEFUL IDIOTS can hate gay people – and God will punish you later – but why are you expanding your hate to my frail elderly parents? and to WW2 veterans!?
GET YOUR HATEFUL IM-MORAL UN-GODLY HANDS OFF MY HEALTH CARE.
God-Fearer:
I think you need to do a bit more reading, and perhaps take a deep breath. Did you know that:
1. Obamacare DEFUNDS Medicare/Medicaid to the tune of 700 Billion dollars?
2. Obamacare does nothing for “care”…all it claims to do is increase insurance coverage. In fact, there’s absolute evidence that it will harm care, as we see the exodus of physicians from the field and the beginnings of rationing of care.
And finally, if you think its “moral” to confiscate the labor (wealth) of unborn children (we have no money, the government is broke and borrows heavily), I highly disagree. What’s immoral is thinking that you have the “right” to the fruit of someone else’s labor. That the producer is the slave of the recipient. Shame on you.
God fearer is not a God Loving Christian. He or she is so full of hate they don’t know God is not to be feared. Just another hate speech liberal pretending to know about God.
