Capitol to be filled with livid Americans
WorldNetDaily.com ^ | November 02, 2009 | Chelsea Schilling

Posted on 11/02/2009 7:04:14 PM PST by Man50D

Lawmakers are calling on Americans to storm the Capitol on Thursday in an "Emergency House Call on Congress" to stop the House from passing the Democrats' health-care bill this week.

A group of legislators led by Reps. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., and Pete Hoekstra, R-Mich., will be holding an emergency town-hall meeting outside the Capitol at 12 p.m. to protest the health-care bill set to hit the House floor. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has indicated that a vote on the bill could take place as soon as Thursday.

Bachmann told WND she is urging citizens to come to Washington and "pay an emergency House call to Congress."

"This is the most effective way we have to kill socialized medicine and to do it this week," she said. "Nothing is more effective at reaching a congressman than having a citizen come to Washington, D.C. – not asking for a handout, not asking for tax money, not asking to take some liberty away from somebody else, but just asking for freedom."

What is your alternative? Do nothing while socialists run roughshod over the Constitution? I know for a fact there will be many busloads travelling to D.C.

Why are so many people concerned with the socialist media? Who freaking cares what they think?

Wonder how many Democratic congresspeople will be there, and how many will be in hiding?

Meanwhile, the congresspeople who oppose the bill can stand in their doorways, meet their constituents and hand out US flags - sort of like trick or treats.

I agree. We know that we’re there and knowing that gives us strength and encouragement for the long fight ahead.

Keep the faith, freepers. I’m proud to be among you patriots! Let’s give them hell in 2009, 2010 and everyday along the way!

I haven’t seen this anywhere but WND - shame on the media (as usual),

She made the announcement on Sean Hannity's Friday night TV show.

They already have. Having 4-5,000 people show up on a Thursday and not be reported on by anyone other than Fox News....the Marxists are already there and they are going to push it through because they are all on a power grab while they have it.

The work, the outrage, the riots, the protests...yep...all should have been going on last year before these scumbags took over.

I'll repeat the question I asked in an earlier post and one more. What is your alternative? Are you going to sit back and do nothing?

I sure hope Thursday’s crowd is well armed. The DC police are very likely to be full of thugs loyal to the Kenyan Usurper. The patriots need to be able to defend themsevles, if need be!

Bachmann is also saying that she understands that many people were there on 9/12 so please consider going to the local office of your congress person.

I went to D.C. for 9-12, I have been to a dozen tea party rallies, I have written to editors, I have faxed, I have spread the word, I have done everything I can do...and I will do the Nov.12th tea party in Orlando. I am doing my part...the alternative is civil disobedience.

Welcome to the club, the one we are reluctantly in. The left put the wheels in motion a while ago to meet exactly that end.

The work should be like it always is, a continual process. This is no time to despair, rather a recognition that many have joined us and will fight as long as it takes.

Yeah, the tea partiers don’t get ACORN taxpayer subsidies and payments for showing up. Or a better grade from their professors, etc.

Let me tell you, this will be big. In Okla. we stopped the evil ERA movement in its tracks by doing this exact same thing. When this group enters and takes their stand in the gallary's, they will be a visual force that can not be denied. Each one of those people will be representing 10 other people, more than that, they will be representing everyone in the TEA PARTY conservative movement. I Applaud them.

Our represenatives thanked us after they voted for giving them the strength to do what was right in their own minds. Wish I could be there.

I agree. The MSM may have ignored the massive crowd on 9/12, but no matter what they ignored, believe that they know we were there. They are afraid of us. They know the people who were there represent the majority in this country, those who have been busy working, paying taxes and taking care of our families while the leftists took over our country. We have awakened. Michelle said on one talk show that if just 10,000 show up, it would make a statement. I hope and pray that all who can make it will make the effort!

I keep getting this feeling that Washington D.C. is Charleston, SC, that socialized medicine is Ft. Sumpter, and that January 21, 1961 is fast approaching.

No concern here, just a rhetorical question based on the reality of the Marxist influence in Washington and the slobbering, sycophant media.
