THIS assembly of Right wing extremists WAS NOT AUTHORIZED BY THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION. THEREFORE IT WAS NOT REPORTED BY THE MEDIA EXCEPT ON FOX NEWS WHO IS SIMPLY NOT A NEWS ORGANIZATION. These folks were heard but they will not do any good. The Democrats and communists in charge are willing to risk losing elections for the chance to destroy the capitalist form of economy and establishment of a totalitarian form of government, There will be no elections in 2010 unless Acorn has the elections completely fixed and are counting the votes their way. Elections will be suspended for some emergency until the entire transformation is made, comrade.

Nice pics Amanda. I was on the side where the podium wasand I was about thirty yards back. I sat in front of the Rayburn building for 2 hours and just watched the people. The gentleman in the third pic with the guitar and amp sat across the street from the Rayburn building and sang songs while I was sitting there. I got a pic of my buddie and I sitting at Joe "You Lie" Wilsons desk

I'm so sorry, I forgot all about calling you. I had your cell number in my pocket too but forgot all about it with all the excitement. We were very close to the front on the right side, right next to the stone wall. Did you see the man that was apparently having a heart attack? We were directly across from him. We went to the Congressional buildings early that morning before everyone else showed up.

We went to the back of the congressional side of the Capitol and sat on the steps where the Congressmen and Senators were exiting the building afterwards. Sheila jackson Lee was surrounded by an angry yelling mob on the way out -- no wonder she was so upset yesterday when she was saying her piece on the floor. :)

We got lost after the press conference, looking for the Hart building and ended up about 3 blocks down from the Rayburn building. We could hear thousands of people chanting "KILL THE BILL" all at once and it was AWESOME! We probably walked right by you a couple of times.

Every time we stopped somewhere on the way there we met people that were going too. It was pretty exciting.

I wish we all could be there at once. I wish you all could have heard the sound of 20,000 angry Patriots storming the Congressional offices at once. You could hear it from several blocks away and I'm sure some of our elected officials were a little frightened. As we were walking back to Union Station we heard a Congressional Aide saying on his cell phone "the Tea Party thing was pretty scary". Yet still they believe they are above us and they know better than We The People. Amazing isn't it?

I was right across from the man who had the heart attack. I have pictures of him. I was leaning over the wall the whole time. I saw the pics you have of the very loud, tall woman across from us. There was a woman they brought across the wall on our side that about ten feet down from me. I sat in front of the Rayburn and watched for 2 hours.

Exactly what I was thinking. I was right across from the revolution two flags in your pictures.

Which ones? There were so many. I've gotta get one of those.

If I had thought to call you I probably would have heard your phone ring. LOL! I probably shouldn't say this but you might remember, I had a little outburst because the woman behind me was leaning her whole body into me for about an hour and a half. I asked her four times to stop and the woman behind her pulled her off of me once but she wouldn't stop -- no clue of the concept of personal space apparently. For a while there, I thought we all might be crushed.

I didn't see the woman being taken over the wall. What was going on? There was an elderly, very short Native American woman standing right next to me handing out her business cards. Her name was Carol and she was from VA. Did she give you one of her cards?

I hand delivered Mark Schauer a pink slip that morning. He wasn't there though. You know, we got there early before most of the Congressmen. We noticed that each and every Congressman had been delivered a magazine which was strategically placed so that the back cover was facing upward on the top of each newspaper pile in front of each Congressman's office doorway. It was because the back cover of the magazine had an SEIU add, with a picture of Ted Kennedy and commentary about his exemplary dedication to health care reform. We went around placing 'Flip This House' stickers on some of the pictures of Ted Kennedy. Apparently we still didn't get the message across though, huh?
