This past Saturday, hundreds of thousands of Taxpayers just like you and me marched in Washington and across the nation to send their elected representatives a crystal clear message: it's our government, not yours and we're standing up and fighting for our freedoms.

Many of you are asking what's next?

Your members of Congress are back in D.C., surrounded by lobbyists, the Obama Administration, Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid and many in the national media -- all demanding a "deal" on health care and cap-and-trade.

The Obama administration is doing everything it can to drag its feet and prevent us from accessing American energy resources. They are trying to ignore the millions of Americans who demanded access to American energy resources by secretly putting the ban back in place.

Even more amazing and outrageous: the Obama administration is now actually poised to lend $2 billion from U.S. taxpayers to the Brazilian national oil company, Petrobras, for offshore drilling in Brazil.

It has been an extremely exciting time in our countries history. It is clear that the American public has awakened from decades of apathy and we are speaking out against the government forces that are making their move for total control of our lives..

Last night from our Americans for Prosperity "Hands Off My Health Care" town hall meeting at the Raleigh fairgrounds, I watched along with 1,100 activists as the President declared he has basically saved our economy since coming into office in January.

By "saved," the President means passing the $1-trillion "stimulus" bill in the spring that drove our debt through the roof while wasting money on boondoggles across the nation.

President Obama said businesses that can't afford to offer health care with all the expensive new regulations would be required to "chip in to help cover the cost of their workers." Does that mean he supports the 8 percent payroll tax included in H.R. 3200? That's a huge job-killer at a time our economy can least afford it.

For a back-of-the-envelope estimate of what this tax would mean, we modeled the impact on a static basis of the phased-in 8-percent payroll tax in H.R. 3200. (Big thanks to Joe Coletti at the John Locke Foundation for doing the calculations.)
