Bachmann to join religious right in ‘prayercast’ against health care

Rep. Michele Bachmann will join members of the religious right in a “prayercast” on Wednesday to pray for defeat the “Government Takeover of Healthcare.” The prayercast is sponsored by the Family Research Council.

Joining Bachmann will be Sens. Sam Brownback, R-Kans., and Jim DeMint, R-S.C., and Rep. Randy Forbes, R-Va.

Anti-gay rights preacher Bishop Harry Jackson will also be on hand, as well as Lou Engle, president of The Call to Conscience, which is working to “raise up of an army of spiritual warriors for revival.”

Also at the prayercast: Pastor Jim Garlow, who says gay marriage is a worse threat to America than terrorism.

From the Family Research Council:

Did you know that deep within the Senate health care bill is a tax penalty for couples that are married? Or that in Nancy Pelosi’s version of health care “reform” that not only is tort reform not included – but trial lawyers are rewarded even more? To learn more facts about this attempted government takeover of health care, tune your browsers this Wednesday night to FRCAction.org.

On December 16, FRC Action and The Call to Conscience will host a live video webcast entitled “An FRC Action PrayerCast: Government Takeover of Healthcare”. Beginning at 8:30 p.m. (EST), this PrayerCast will feature a powerful line-up of speakers, including:

During the webcast, you will hear the latest on the threats to the God-given right to human life through government funding of abortions, our health from rationing, our family finances from higher taxes, and our general freedom posed by the government plan to take over healthcare.

We will enter into a time of prayer for the nation, and our leaders. Your engagement and urgent prayer is more critical than ever as Congress will very soon vote on a final health care bill. Register today!
