WASHINGTON, Dec. 15 /Christian Newswire/ -- A crowd of TEA Party protesters convened in the nation's capital today to speak out against the Senate's health care bill and Concerned Women for America (CWA) was standing with them. Echoes of "Kill the Bill" resounded outside the Capitol and Senate buildings from the busloads of citizens who traveled from around the country to convince senators to oppose the health care bill.

Speakers at the rally included Republican Senators Tom Coburn (R-OK) and Jim DeMint (R-SC,) and conservative radio talk show host Laura Ingraham.

Wendy Wright, President of Concerned Women for America joined leaders from conservative groups on stage. She noted:

"If Congress were held to the same standard as everyone else, they'd face charges of peddling a bait-and-switch scam. The senators pushing this health care take-over sell it with the bait that it will reduce health care costs and increase coverage.  The switch comes in the bill itself which will increase health care costs and reduce access to health care. Instead of providing health care, it will fund abortion and ration care to patients."

Concerned Women for America is the nation's largest public policy women's organization.
