"With the threat of Obama Care before us, the stakes could not be higher for freedom in America," said Beltrami County Republicans Chairman Kenneth Cobb. "But we will not be silent and we will not back down! We love freedom and we are willing to raise our voice for liberty. Join us in standing up with the surge of millions across our land in support of our country and Constitution and against surging federal power, runaway spending, staggering national debt, the dismantling of our free enterprise system and the rising socialist state."
