The coalition of Tea Party and grassroots organizations sponsoring this rally is committed to changing the dynamics of this legislative process. “The Democratic led Congress is using procedural and legislative rules to ignore the overwhelming opposition to this proposed legislation,” said Mark Skoda of Memphis Tea Party, co-organizer of the “Take The Town Halls to Washington†project. “The will of the American people is being subverted by these actions and the grass roots activists who make up this coalition are focusing their energy to kill the bill.”
Michael Patrick Leahy, co-organizer of the “Take the Town Halls to Washington†project, encouraged everyone to make the effort to attend the rally. “We encourage every American citizen who defends the Constitution to drop everything they’re doing and come to Washington tomorrow to join us in this rally. If you arrive early, you can stop by the project’s war room, which is located at the Capitol Hill Suites at 200 C St, SE in Washington.â€
The Nationwide Tea Party Coalition, sponsor of the “Take the Town Halls to Washington†project, is an informal federation of thirty local tea party leaders from around the country. It is the group that organized the very first nationwide tea parties on February 27, 2009 and April 15, 2009.Â

God Bless all of you that have organized this rally for our nation. I am one of those people that would benefit from the closing of the “Dough Nut Hole” in Medicare part D. THAT IS THE LAST THING I WANT TO HAPPEN THROUGH THE OBAMACARE BILLS BEFORE CONGRESS!!!!!!!!!!!! Our country needs to reform some things to do with medical care. The people that should be writing the reforms are the Doctors and the care givers. Not most of our congressional people who (other than the doctors holding office) know very very little about the real problems with our medical system. AND TO TAKE FUNDS FROM MEDICARE AND DO AWAY WITH MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PLANS IS JUST NUTS!!!!!!!!!! Those plans are actually saving tax payers money because the preventative care works!! I will find a way to pay for my drugs on my own THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!! I believe in the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. I believe that what is being shoved down our throats is unconstitutional and so is the procedure they are trying to push it through congress with. I love this country dearly and can not tolerate what the liberal socialist are trying to put over on our country. Thank God I didn’t vote for the man. He may be the president of the US but he is not my president. He is a disgrace to the office. Give ‘em Hell tomorrow. I will be with you in spirit.
