Event Details

Come along to Washington, DC to join Congresswoman Michele Bachmann and thousands of other grassroots activists at the U.S. Capitol to make your voice heard against the government takeover of our health care!

Our bus leaves from Raleigh District Drive Park and Ride lot at 6:30am. Cost is only $40 and is first come first serve. Price includes round trip.
