I’m kinda partial to this one:
Clearly, this isn’t as massive a crowd as was seen at the 9/12 March on Washington, Emergency tea party on November 5, or the Code Red Rally on Dec 15. Those events, along with CPAC just a few weeks ago, were as much as some tight budgets could allow, I’m thinking. Plus, come on…tomorrow is a holiday.
The bigger Tea Party event in D.C. will be held next month: A Tax Day Tea Party, April 15 at the Washington Monument from 7-10 p.m.

Here are Reps Michele Bachmann and Mike Pence speaking at the code red rally:

The last I heard, after that closed door meeting, Steny Hoyer said they still don’t have the votes.

FAIL? Because it wasn’t as big as the three previous rallies in DC? It’s about what one would expect: a pretty decent crowd for a short notice midweek rally on the eve of a holiday.

Free handouts for all. Dems will take all of our hard earned money at give it out to those who don’t want to work. It’s the greatest thing since night baseball, sliced bread, or whamo’s slinky. Welcome to our new country, all the money we work hard for, doesn’t belong to us, it belongs to the “State”. They will give back what they think is necessary for us to live on, the rest they keep and distribute to those who don’t work. You who have voted for and still support Ovomit…hope you be lovin this. It’s your new government. Happy?

Thank you for all you are doing for the american people, that is who the government is supposed to listen to not congress people with bribes and under the table deals. Thanks for being true Americans.

I got chronic pancreatitis in 2000 and was almost financially ruined, so I know what it’s like, not to have health insurance after a illness. Saying that, I am sickened by the arrogance of the politicians that are trying to shove this bill on the American people. this bill could exceed 100 mill. alone in the first year. Thanks to all of you Americans who are staying true to are constitution. Dave

To all: One would ask me if I care about other people, and their lack of access to health care, and I would say of course I do. But, and there are many buts, the government has never run any program with honor and intregity, and that will not happen now. The government should stay out of this issue as far as running it. The government should pass tort reform, and allow people to purchase insurance over state lines. We the American People have big hearts, and we ralley to help those who really need help. Genuine compassion comes from the heart of an individual, not from Big Brother!!

I am fimrly against the debt ladened bill which brings government into my living room where they tell me how best to care for my body. I am against this bill for it funds the killing of the unborn! I say to the Congressmen and women of the house: “You are representatives of the people, not Obama!”
