Dear Friends:
You must call your member of Congress now to help stop the government takeover of your health care. You can help lead the way in defeating the Congressional take over of health care.

The vote is planned for Saturday afternoon so you have less than 24 hours to make your calls. Remember, responsible members ...of Congress will have their offices open for the Saturday session. Please call now and get five friends to call too.

Due to overwhelming response from AFP members in North Carolina, we will take a bus from Raleigh to DC on Thursday, November 5th.

Nancy Pelosi is trying to ram a 1,990 page House bill down the throats of the American people, and Congress is expected to vote by the end of this week.

I'm asking you to take a crucial step before the House votes on the Health Care Bill and make a "Congressional House Call" this Thursday, November 5th in Washington, DC to tell your Senators and Congressman to vote NO on the government health care takeover.

Thanks to All who joined us as one of the 2,100 activists who converged on Washington October 2-3 for the National Town Hall Meeting on Capitol Hill and the 3rd Annual Defending the American Dream Summit.

We welcome your feedback. We have already heard from some of you and want to hear from the rest of you. Tell us what you liked and what you didn’t. Write us a letter, send an email or click here to fill out a survey. We hope that overall your experience was a good one and that together, we can make it even better next time around.

Thanks for being part of our Defending the American Dream Summit. Let’s continue to work together in a loud, unified voice to affect public policy in our cities and counties, our great state, and our nation
