On November 2, 2009, Adams announced that she would spearhead opposition in Texas to the health care proposals advanced by [[U.S. President]] [[Barack H. Obama]] and the congressional Democrats led by [[Speaker]] [[Nancy Pelosi]] of [[California]] and U.S. Senator [[Harry Reid]] of [[Nevada]]. Adams urged demonstrations at the offices of presumed undecided Democratic U.S. Representatives [[Ciro Rodriguez]] in [[San Antonio]], Chet Edwards]] in Bryan and Solomon Ortiz in [[Corpus Christi]], all three of whom were defeated for reelection on November 2, 2010. Adams stated that "extremists in their party . . . are trying to take over one-sixth of the American economy." She maintained that the Democratic package will "cost $1.3 trillion, or $500 million per page [2,000 total pages in the legislation], financed through massive debt and tax hikes; raise taxes 13 different ways, including forcing Americans to buy . . . [[health insurance]]; increase insurance premiums and decrease access to health care; cost Texas at least 15,000 jobs by forcing doctor-owned hospitals to close, and provide for taxpayer-funded abortions."<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://info@texasgop.org|title=Demonstrations against PelosiCare Update|publisher=texasgop.org|accessdate=November 2, 2009}}</ref>

Adams spoke strongly in her own defense at the convention about her 30-year fight against abortion, same-sex marriage, the [[United Nations]], and for maintaining a Christian nation. Adams had angered some Republican voters by refusing to release financial information about the party. More recently, she said, "I'm saying 'no' to Barrack Hussein Obama," but she fell far short of victory for a full term.<ref name=hoppe>{{Cite web|url=http://trailblazersblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2010/06/munisteri-wins-with-59-percent.html|title=Christy Hoppe, "Munisteri wins election as Texas Republican chairman with 59 percent of the vote"|publisher=''Dallas Morning News'' on-line, June 12, 2010|accessdate=June 12, 2010}}</ref>
