DJ Says...

Following on the heels of the Houston Tea Party Society's wildly successful Health Care Town Hall, the Harris County Republican Party will host its own version tonight at the Humble Civic Center.

As previously announced, due to the expected large turnout, we will be holding the Health Care Town Hall at the Humble Civic Center.

This Town Hall meeting will focus on the impact ObamaCare would have on doctors, the insurance industry, and your family. We will hear from doctors, people who have lived under socialized medicine, and individuals in the insurance industry. We will also be discussing what you can do to prevent a trillion dollar government takeover of our health care system.
