Can You Hear Us Now? Chicago March on the Media
Chicago Tea Patriots ^ | 10/17/2009 | chicagotea

Posted on 10/17/2009 2:05:51 PM PDT by Velveeta

After action report of yesterday's Chicago "Can you hear us NOW?" march on the media.

Approximately 100 patriots gathered at 4:00pm outside of ABC news studios on State Street in Chicago. We sang God Bless America, The National Anthem and chanted "report the news" "do your jobs" "can you hear us now?" etc...

After about 1/2 hour, we marched on over to CBS News studios. The folks at CBS saw us coming and pulled down the window shades to the studio. LOL, cowards.

More chanting commenced.

The protest was to last until 6pm, but I left at about 5:30 as global warming temperatures in the low 40s left me shivering.

Naturally, there was no mention of the protest on the media, in the media at all.

There was to be part 2 of the protest today in Chicago's Millennium Park, but I couldn't make that event. I hope it went well.

The AZ Republic reported that 40 people showed up outside its newspaper. That’s not a lot of people.

KEEP REMINDING MEDIA AND POLITICIANS OF THE (2010 ELECTION DATES)

All those who voted for Cap & Trade, the Obama Health Care Mess, Reid's underhanded gun confiscation laws and those Senators who diverted $2.6 billion in funds in a defense spending bill to pet projects largely at the expense of accounts that pay for fuel, ammunition and training for U.S. troops, including those fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to an analysis......we don't need those callous, pitiful people anymore. America wants and needs AMERICANS WHO CARE MORE FOR THEIR COUNTRY AND COUNTRYMEN THAN THEM SELVES!!

VOTE THEM OUT OF OFFICE!

But are the newspaper people so dumb they don’t understand that people also vote with their WALLETS, not just with their feet and their voices??
