Dallas Woodhouse statement on HC vote

‘This Fight Is Not Over,’ Says Americans for Prosperity; Praises Unprecedented Grassroots Outpouring

‘Today we lost in Congress, but we won with the American people’

Raleigh. – Americans for Prosperity-State Director, Dallas Woodhouse issued the following statement after the U.S. House passed the health care takeover bill:

“Tonight we have seen a critical setback for freedom in our country. The fight over this health care takeover has been long and brutal. But something hopeful has risen out of its ashes: millions of active, passionate Americans who are aware of the many threats to our freedoms and who are willing to fight."

It should be noted that the North Carolina Congressional Delegation voted 8-5 against the bill after tens of thousands of North Carolina marched in the streets, held tea parties and made their feelings known about this bill.

This battle has indeed awakened the sleeping giant, and Americans for Prosperity’s members – one million strong – will continue to put the pressure on our elected officials. More than 320,000 Americans have signed our November Is Coming petition, sending a message to their members of Congress that their days in Washington are numbered. I think we will see some historic changes in our country at the hands of these hard-working people who are taking time away from their everyday lives to start tea party groups and commit themselves to preserving liberty. This fight is not over. Today we lost in Congress, but we won with the American people.”
