So why do not the Republicans get their thumbs out of their collective asses and hold 1500 anti Health meetings?

Anyone?

DNC gets our tax money in many indirect ways. Government workers union dues are sent to the DNC who will fight to further big government growth.

There haven’t been any official Republican group doing any organizing at all that I know of. Which makes Pelosi’s astroturf charges against the protesters seem absurd seeing that OFA is a DNC / Obama creation.

Spontaneous grassroots outpouring....a thousand of ‘em, planned.

But, the SRM said the mobs at the townhall meetings were not making any impact. I bet the SRM will say the dim run events will have an impact.

Why do I smell 'Media Event' written large all over this idea?

First: August Recess is the traditional time for the Congresscritters to go home and take the 'pulse of the people' - Oopsie!
Second: The fall-back from the townhall was to conduct 'telephone townhall' - bad publicity and echo chamber.
Third: "Health Care Reform" events - Speaker talks, no feed-back - crowds of receptive believers.

Sorry but #3 won't go so well unless you hold them at midnight in a locked and guarded room without notice. Otherwise we will be there with our home-made signs and we will make our views heard, just like the libs have done for YEARS! Besides didn't the ONE say that the debate was now over "Health Insurance Reform"? Can't they even stay on message once?

I’m still trying to wrap my mind around the statement “where the majority of American sentiment is on this issue - in FAVOR of health insurance reform.”

Based on pollaganda conducted before people knw what was in the package. Sort of ... "Do you want healthcare for all or are you a sick twisted individual who wants people to die?"

Voila, a polloganda majority for 'universal health care'.

Wow, 1000. Politico says "more than 500." This is a growing movement (sarcasm).

We should pat us on the back because we GOT UNDER THEIR SKIN, and now they are on the defensive.

As conflicting stories of whether it will ever pass come out every day.

It is like they are a bunch of idiots running the show.

They can waste time and money and plan 500,000 events IT WILL NOT CHANGE the majority feeling on this issue. it will not erase they’re lies.

>> Have you noticed that their signs are all printed and our signs are all handwritten?

Yup, made that same observation a few weeks ago.

Because we need them to stay the hell out of the way - that's why. They are in our sights too. Vote ALL the bums out.

” Plus, there’s the $12-$16 hour Craig’s list ads. “

Freepers should be in on this. Get them to give us back the money they are stealing in taxes etc.
