"Help make March 24th a day liberals will never forget "

Road to Repeal Rally

Dear Patriot,

We can agree that ObamaCare is financially reckless. This one piece of legislation is a blueprint for bankrupting America.

Through ObamaCare, the current Administration is building a huge system of government dependency that will entrap every American in a system full of hopelessness, runarounds and inferior care like Europe.

Tea Party Patriots across the nation have remained steadfast against ObamaCare’s intrusion into our personal lives. It is time, once again, to raise a unified voice in opposition to this egregious overreach of the Federal government. On March 24 Tea Party Patriots is hosting a national rally at the U.S. Capitol to protest ObamaCare and kick off the Road to Repeal.

Thousands and thousands of ordinary Americans will rally against one of the most unpopular laws in U.S. history just days before the Supreme Court takes up the ObamaCare case!

We are calling this event the “Road to Repeal Rally.” It will be a day Barack Obama and the left will never forget.

However, I need you help to pull it off.

Please make a special generous contribution of $20, $25, $30, $50, $100 or more to help fund this historic national protest.

We must raise $53,500 this month to cover the costs on this critical event and we need your help today.

Please make a generous contribution right away to fund the “Road to Repeal Rally.”

Because you are such a valued and trusted supporter of the Tea Party movement, I want you to know exactly what we are planning and what your donation is paying for.

We need:

$24,000 for busses to carry normal Americans to Washington, DC
$13,500 to get the word out and advertise the event
$14,000 for staging, lighting and sound system
$2,000 for public relations and managing the media that attends
That’s $53,500 to fund this critically important event to send a message to Washington that we did. But we need to raise the first $25,000 right away in order to start with our advertising and pay deposits.

That is a lot of money. However, with ObamaCare there is so much at stake.

The “Road to Repeal Rally” will set the stage for the battle to repeal government controlled health care.

Just days after thousands and thousands of ordinary Americans rally on the East front of the Capitol, the nine justices will hear the oral arguments in the ObamaCare case.

It will be critical that we have a huge turnout. We have to show the media, the Supreme Court and Congress that the American people want this horrible law overturned and then REPEALED!

That’s why we are calling this important event the “Road to Repeal Rally.” Because the road to do away with ObamaCare will start with We the People on the steps of the U.S. Capitol on March 24!

We are going to show the nation what a real protest looks like. Ordinary Americans will be bused in from all over the nation.

We will peacefully assemble at the Capitol building just yards from the Supreme Court.

And unlike the radical leftists of the “Occupy” movement, we will make our voices heard without violence and without the destruction of public property!

Please make the most generous contribution you can today.

I truly need your help. March 24th is only weeks away and I absolutely must raise this first $25,000 in the next six days.

The “Road to Repeal Rally” may be one of the most important events ever for the Tea Party movement. Please donate what you can. I’ll be forwarding more details on how you can attend the “Road to Repeal Rally in the next few days!


Sincerely,

Jenny Beth Martin
National Coordinator and Co-Founde

And he probably has already. This fundraising business is probably just an attempt to make some of his money back.

Get all of them collected in one spot to facilitate a dastardly plot.
