Tea Party activist and 9-12ers join forces with conservatives from four states
Grand Junction, Col. – Tea party activists and 9-12ers from Greeley, Fort Collins, and Loveland will join forces with the Western Slope Conservative Alliance and conservatives from across Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, and New Mexico to protest Barak Obama's socialized medicine proposals during the president's visit to Grand Junction this Saturday.
Activists will gather in Lincoln Park at 10:00 am this Saturday August 15th at the corner of 12th and North Avenue in Grand Junction, Colorado. Activists will then re-gather outside Central High School's Warrior Gym at 3:15 at 550 Warrior Way Grand Junction, CO 81504 the site of President Obama's health care town hall.
"We are asking everyone to wear a solid red, white, or blue shirt show our patriotism and to contrast the purple shirts worn by SEIU activists. Patriots and Conservatives are invited to bring signs that focus on Healthcare or Cap and Trade only," said Nancy Rumfelt, Chairman of the Loveland 9-12 Project.
"We have been writing letters, making phone calls, and lobbying our representative Betsy Markey in person for weeks to oppose HR 3200, 'Americas Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009,'" said Rumfelt. "We came together with folks from all over Colorado last week during Speaker Pelosi's visit to Denver, and wanted to join forces with other conservatives throughout the Rocky Mountain region to let President Obama and Representative Markey know that this is NOT the plan that Coloradoans want."
