WASHINGTION -- The summer is winding down but the debate over health care reform is heating up. The Democrats in the Senate and the House are continuing their campaign in town hall meetings across the country, while members of the GOP are turning to younger audiences to get their message across.

“We can have a better system… that’s a system that ought to be between the doctor and the patient,” said former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich.

“What we do not need is a government bureaucracy, imposing left wing political values in the name of saving the budget by cutting health costs, but refusing to give people health care.”

Gingrich spoke to a room full of eager young conservatives at the Young America's Foundation conference in Washington and he came with a clear message:

“They believe you ought to raise taxes massively on American energy, cripple the American economy, and make sure that you’re dependent forever on countries like Venezuela and Saudi Arabia,” Gingrich said.

He added, “We believe you ought to stimulate the American worker, American business, small business in particular, to maximize the growth of American jobs through the American private sector. They believe you ought to raise taxes massively to hire more bureaucrats to control more of America through politicians.”

Young republican college students came from all over the country to participate in the conference, including Brenda Sorenson, 23, who traveled from New Mexico to support the young conservative movement.

“Everybody is like searching for a change, they’re trying to fulfill it with maybe the wrong answers and maybe the right answers,” Sorenson said. “I think the Republican party has a chance… it totally has a chance, if this president doesn’t work out.”

Gingrich came to deliver inspirational words to the Republican youth… and free copies of his new book.

“Your generation is now participating in the fundamental decisions about whether we remain the freest, the most productive and the most powerful country in history,“ Gingrich said.

The debate over health care eventually turned into a discussion about the “biased liberal media."

“For the great masses of the American people who might not be interested in slugging through this messy business everyday, basically they’re only source of information is the liberal media establishment,” said a recent graduate of Humboldt State University. “Obviously we have strong allies on our side like Rush Limbaugh, God and the facts.”

If the biased liberal media is blocking the conservative message, Newt proposed a strategy.

“You should go home and you should contact every person you know, and you should use everybody you have on facebook and everybody you have on your email account, “ Gingrich told the students.

“Make sure that everybody talks to their member of Congress and their Senator to stop the left wing government bureaucratic health model that they’re trying to pass in the House,” Gingrich said.

So watch your in box, it may be full after the summer recess.
