Book on Government-Run Health Care to Be Distributed at Rally
Washington DC: Two members of the National Center for Public Policy Research staff - Project 21 black leadership network fellow Deneen Borelli and Free Enterprise Project director Tom Borelli - are scheduled to speak at approximately 6:00 PM and 7:15 PM respectively at the FreedomWorks Foundations April 15 2010 Tax Day Tea Party on the grounds of the Washington Monument.
National Center Executive Director David Almasi and other staff members also will be on hand to distribute free copies of the National Center book Shattered Lives: 100 Victims of Government Health Care by Amy Ridenour and Ryan Balis.
In her prepared remarks Deneen Borelli addresses the criticism of the Tea Party movement as being monochromatic and implicitly racist. She says: President Obamas progressive agenda is driving our economy and liberties over a cliff... They expect us to keep quiet sit down and just pay those taxes. Thats why progressives hate the Tea Party movement - we make too much noise! Thats why they are trying to discredit us by calling us names: If youre white youre called a racist and a redneck and if youre black youre a token Uncle Tom or a traitor... Playing the race card is a losing game. Its old. Its tired. What else you got?
Tom Borelli in his prepared remarks makes a call to action based on how some corporate chiefs are complicit in promoting a progressive agenda including ObamaCare and cap-and-trade legislation. He says: Its time for us to hold CEOs accountable... Its time We the People let CEOs know that there will be a price to pay for promoting laws that will loot us of our the liberty. Every day we can vote with our wallets by avoiding products from companies that are selling us out. It makes no sense for us to buy products from companies who will use our money against us!
The Borellis have spoken at Tea Party rallies in Pennsylvania and New York at the FreedomWorks Foundations 9.12 rally in Washington last year. Earlier this week they spoke about the Tea Party movement at a series of events held at Marlboro College in Marlboro Vermont.
