The tour has already visited Virginia and North Carolina and you would not BELIEVE the energy and excitement at these rallies! Hundreds of people have come out to show their support for free-market health care solutions, morning, noon and night, and local news media have been all over it.<\/p>\n<p>Now it&#8217;s our turn &#8211; let&#8217;s keep the momentum going! We are setting out across Indiana on a Patients First bus tour starting in Fort Wayne  at 9:00 a.m. August 17th at the former K&#8217;s Merchandise parking lot, 633 West Coliseum Blvd.<\/p>\n<p>At each stop, we will have a press conference\/rally before rolling onto the next city. Everyone will have an opportunity to sign our petition telling the government to keep their Hands off our Healthcare! Look at the list of cities below and see which bus tour stop you will attend!<\/p>\n<p><strong>9:00 am EST<\/strong><br \/>\nFormer Kay&#8217;s Merchandise Parking lot<br \/>\n663 W. Coliseum Blvd.<br \/>\nFort Wayne, Indiana<\/p>\n<p><strong>1:15 pm EST<\/strong><br \/>\nPrecision Transmission ( Lot  next to Rep.

We must send members of Congress, who are coming back to their districts for a recess, a loud and relentless message that government control of our health care is wrong for  America . Our opposition is going door to door and making phone calls to convince Americans that nationalized medicine is the answer. We must work harder than they are.<\/p>\n<p>Send an email to everyone you know about the Patients First bus tour. Bring a friend. Bring your signs. Sign the petition. Let&#8217;s work together to say loud and clear: &#8220;Hands Off My Health Care!&#8221; Can&#8217;t wait to see you on the road!<\/p>\n<p>If you can&#8217;t make it out to a Patients First Bus Tour stop, go online and sign the petition anyway.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An e-mail from the Patients First group: Related Images:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[1748],"class_list":["post-6369","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-happenings","tag-patients-first"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Hands off my Health Care Rally - 8\/17\/2009 - AroundFortWayne<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"An e-mail from the Patients First group: The Patients First Hand&#039;s off my Healthcare Bus Tour is coming to Fort Wayne !
