Just When You Thought
Your Health Care Was Safe
Hands Off Health Care

Yes, just when you thought government-run health care might finally be dead, Patients First warns that Speaker Nancy Pelosi has come up with a procedural trick.  It would require the House to pass the Senate's bill and then rely on the Senate to pass requested changes to the bill through a rarely-used parliamentary maneuver known as reconciliation. This would not only circumvent the normal rules of the Senate but, most importantly, would enact into law exactly what the American public has stated it doesn't want - government-run health care!

We've spoken up against a government takeover of health care every chance we've had: polls, elections, letter-writing, and townhall meetings.  While this has significantly slowed government takeover plans, it hasn't permanently stopped them.  So call or write your Congressman and Senators again to make sure this doesn't keep moving.

It's time to start all over from scratch.  We need health care reform that lowers cost, maintains or improves the integrity of the doctor-patient relationship and prevents the government from controlling what health care insurance you can buy.

Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Forum

Republican WomenThe Saginaw County Republican Women's Club and the Republican Women's Conservative Alliance of Genesee County invite you to their Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Forum.  This event will be held on Monday, April 12 from 7:00pm to 8:00pm.  The forum will be at the Birch Run Expo Center, 11600 South Beyer Rd., Birch Run, Michigan.

This forum is an opportunity for you to get to know the candidates running for Governor on the Republican ticket in the August 2010 primary election.  All 5 Republican Gubernatorial Candidates have agreed to appear: Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard, Attorney General Mike Cox, US Congressman Pete Hoekstra, Michigan Senator Tom George, and Ardesta CEO Rick Snyder.  Each candidate will present himself and position, and there will be a question and answer session afterward.  Campaign literature and refreshments will also be available.

Tickets are just $5 and are available by calling 989-790-0285.  The event is co-sponsored by the Saginaw County Republican Women's Club,  the Republican Women's Conservative Alliance of Genesee County,  the Bay County, Genesee County, Midland County, Saginaw County, and Tuscola County Republican Parties, and the 5th Congressional District Republicans.

The Expo Center is conveniently located at Exit 136 on I-75.  There is plenty of free parking at the Expo Center and doors open at 6:30pm.  This may be the only chance to see and hear all 5 candidates in one place!  So, come one, come all!

The Republican mission seeks to maintain a strong defense, encourage individual achievement and liberty through the free enterprises system, and strengthen families.  If you would like to help us move the area and the country towards these goals, please consider donating to the Saginaw County Republican Committee.  Every donation, no matter how large or small, will help ensure that we can find and elect people to work for those goals.  You can do so by mail to PO BOX 6653, Saginaw, MI  48608 or on the web at www.saginawcountygop.com.

Sincerely,
