I received this email from FReeper and Gathering of Eagles member, RongKirby about his one person WELCOME SCOTT BROWN TO DC FREEP on Thursday, Jan. 21.
RongKirby is a regular at the DC Chapter's Friday night Walter Reed Rally. Rong also attends almost every FR and conservative rally in the DC area, including doing many one FReeper FReeps.

Rong's email:
Today I went on Senate Hill with the US flag and a sign, "Thank You Massachusetts, Welcome Sen. Brown" and on the back side of sign " Harry, Democrats, Its the Jobs, Economy, Stupid".
I was interview by CBS, Boston Globe, Roll Call, National Journal, Politico, AP, NY Times and several others. Sen. Brown came out of the Senate Chamber Protocol, passed the press and came right to me and shook hands. Then even more press surrounded me and begin to ask questions. I think over 200 pictures were taken by press in all during the day. Many students here for the Pro Life Rally on Friday stopped and took pictures with me and sign.
It was some day. I think the reason was that so many where on the Hill to document Sen. Brown's first appearance on Capitol Hill and I was the only one with a sign. I told them that this AM I decided I wanted to be on the Hill for all those Tea Party Patriots and Doctors that came from across the country on 9/12 and 11/5 to tell Congress they were wrong on HC. That however the Democrats had not listened to the people because the Demo's had power to do what ever they wanted. That now with the Miracle in Massachusetts that the democrats would have to go back to the drawing board.
Told some of Brown's campaign workers that I had to admit I never believed he would win, that I did not believe that Massachusetts would elect a Republican and I did not want to get my hopes up.
Sen. McCain saw my sign as his car drove up to the Protocol got out with a big smile, waved and said thank you. Shook hands with Sen Sam Brownback KS, Sen. John Ensign NV and Tony Perkins Family Research.
But it was a great day for a hobby political person. There were a lot of happy people on Capitol Hill today. I was there from 10:30 AM-4:30 PM
Never Elect and Give a Party Total Power over the People

RongKirby once again makes us proud.
Alright!
Many of us wish we could have done the same.
I saw some talk on FR about lining Brown’s route with signs, but I think he flew in for Thursday. Maybe next trip in we can all do something.
FYI, Rong is a Vietnam, Marine Vet.

WOW! Thank you for being there (for the rest of us)!
PING
Thanks for posting this, TR, and thank YOU Ron!
(Said in Lurker Bill’s big voice!)
I just hope Sen. Brown doesn’t get to cozy with St. McInsane.
There are so many of us that can’t be there and do the things that the people near DC can. Before each of your activities take a deep breath and remember you represent a few ten thousand people.
Thank you.
That is a definite concern. Maybe he is helping McInsane now so later he’ll be free to do what is right.
[Mr] T
Looks like it will be up to the voters of Arizona to work hard to send McCain into retirement. Yes, he is to be respected for his service to our country, but I want him to GO AWAY into retirement!

WAY TO GO RON G. !!!!!! woo hoo !!!
Thankyou for being there to welcome Scott !
What a great American and Feeeper. Standing up for the people.
LOL! At WR we appreciate Lurker Bill’s heater more than his voice. But that can still be heard above the rumble of cars.
And You’re welcome.
Absolutely understood. Personally I was just over whelmed that so many showed up for the 912 Rally.

The Tea Parties are making your, and all of our’s, dream come true.
How fun,Thanks RongKirby :)
I’ll be seeing Rong at Walter Reed tonight. I’ll pass your messages along in case he hasn’t gotten onto FR yet. Rong has so much going on that FR sometimes gets short changed.
