Dear Friends of Liberty,
Bob Marshall’s HB10 has been assigned to the Senate Commerce and Trade Committee and is likely to be on the docket to be heard on Monday, February 22, 1/2 hour after session adjourns. This is the same committee that reported the Senate version of the bill, SB417, with a vote of 17 – 5. While we expect that HB10 will get the same support, we don’t want to take anything for granted.
Please contact the members of this committee asking them to support HB10. You will find the list of members of that committee here along with their contact information here.
Here is a suggested script:
Dear Senator ___________,
On January 18, 2010 I was one of approximately 2400 citizens who came to the state capitol to lobby and rally for support of Delegate Bob Marshall’s HB10, the Virginia Healthcare Freedom Act.
I believe that the federal government is stepping outside its authority to mandate that each citizen of this nation purchase a federally approved health care plan. No court has ever ruled in favor of a contract entered into under duress. But if the proposed federal mandate passes, every citizen will be forced to comply or be taxed $1900 and if they don’t pay, could even be sentenced to a year in jail under IRS laws.
These 2400 citizens asked Delegate Bob Marshall to provide us with a bill to protect the citizens of Virginia against this federal mandate and he answered to our call with HB10, the Virginia Healthcare Freedom Act.
Now I ask you, will you protect the rights of the citizens of our great Commonwealth by voting “yes” to HB10 when it comes up in your committee for a vote?
Sincerely,
(Your name)
A win for HB10 is a win for the Virginia Campaign for Liberty.
The VA 10th Amendment Revolution marches on!!!
Yours in liberty,
Donna Holt
