FRC Action to Host National Townhall Webcast in Advance of Health Care Vote

Webcast to Feature Congressional Leaders Pence, Price and Bachmann

WASHINGTON, March 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- On Tuesday, March 16, at 8:30 p.m. EST, Family Research Council's legislative lobbying arm FRC Action will host a live webcast, "National Townhall on Health Care: Stop the Government Takeover."  The webcast will mobilize tens of thousands of supporters only days before an expected vote on "The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act," a health care reform bill that the United States Senate passed on Christmas Eve, 2009.

FRC Action President Tony Perkins will be joined by several members of the House of Representatives, including House Republican Conference Chair Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN), House Republican Study Committee Chair Dr. Tom Price (R-GA), and Michele Bachmann (R-MN).  Additionally, Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List; Kristin Hawkins, executive director of Students for Life; and Douglas Johnson, legislative director for the National Right to Life Committee will participate.

Family Research Council Action President Tony Perkins made the following comments:

"The American people have made their wishes clear through the ballot box, townhalls, rallies, and phone calls and letters.  They will not accept this health care takeover or any variety of it.   However, the Obama Administration and the Democratic leadership refuse to acknowledge that this health care, which indisputably funds abortion, is grossly out of step with the American people.  This national townhall webcast will mobilize tens of thousands of Americans for a final stand against a bill that would force Americans to support Planned Parenthood in the killing of unborn children, saddle families with higher insurance premiums, raise our taxes, and deny our parents and grandparents the essential health care they need."
