FreedomWorks is holding a Day of Action on Wednesday, March 15th in Washington, DC featuring Andrew Wilkow, host of The Wilkow Majority radio show.
They're bringing together conservatives from across the country to pressure their Members of Congress, in person, to pass a bold conservative agenda that includes repealing and replacing ObamaCare, ending Common Core, and getting President Trump's Supreme Court nominee confirmed.
They'll be talking about the upcoming battles in Congress and how conservatives like you are the only people holding the Republicans accountable.
