Today over 5,000 freedom fighters concerned about the Washington take over of health care took time away from family and work to make their voices heard at the Code Red Rally at the Capitol in Washington, DC. With the Senate closing in on a final health care vote thousands of grassroots Americans sent a message to their Senators telling them "Hands off my health care!"

We heard from great speakers like Senator Tom Coburn M.D., Senator Jim DeMint, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, Laura Ingraham, and many other representatives who gave us an update on the health care bill and what a health care takeover will mean for average Americans.

After the rally thousands of activists poured into the Senate office buildings to tell their Senators to vote NO on a government takeover of health care. You can be sure those Senators will remember these folks before they vote.
