Friends -

Thanks to you, we now have more than 235,000 Americans who have declared

their support for a free market health care system by signing the Free Our

Health Care Now! petition. The groundswell of support for private health

care could not come at a more important time. As we celebrate July 4th, the

233rd anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the Administration and

Congress are making good on their campaign promise to increase America's

patriotism by increasing our taxes.

The House Democratic health reform plan includes a provision in section 401

that creates a new " tax on individuals without acceptable health care

coverage. " That means if the government doesn't approve of the type of

health insurance you have, you will be taxed as much as 2% of your yearly

income. And there's no exemption for people making less than $250,000 per

year! I do not believe increasing our taxes is a patriotic way to celebrate

Independence Day.

Additionally, Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus (D-MT) recently proposed

legislation estimated by the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO)

to cost $1.6 trillion over ten years. Despite this unprecedented budgetary

outlay, more than 15 million uninsured Americans would remain unprotected

under the Baucus Health Plan. Baucus now says that the cost has been pushed

down to $1 trillion, but that may be wishful thinking.

In an effort to continue in the same spirit of those Founding Fathers who

met at Independence Hall in Philadelphia 233 years ago, we want to be free

of burdensome and illegitimate taxes, regulation and control. To help in

this effort we have prepared an " Action Pac " tool kit to educate the public

on health care. It includes links for learning and teaching materials

including a power point slide presentation with teachers notes, all

available for you to use.

American taxpayers and American patients deserve better. Please help us

educate the public. Send the " Action Pac " education kit to all your friends

and family. Remember, the health care that you're fighting for is your own!
