Kate, I heard the same thing. I know some socialist group will be protesting as well as Illegal Aliens. Since when do they have a constitutional right to protest? They all should be rounded up in DC and deported immediately. Anyways, don't be scared to protest today..God is with us and we will outnumber them without a doubt. God Bless everyone and remember that THIS IS IT...We must stop this overhaul NOW!

Kate,
That's kind of scary. My family is coming with me to the Protest. Perhaps we shouldn't go if violence is expected! Heaven's sakes! I didn't plan on engaging anyone into a discussion. Time for talking is over - I just want to see this bill killed. No debating here.

Constitutional Emergency
A message to all members of Constitutional Emergency

As you all know, there is going to be a really huge rally in DC tomorrow. Many are rightly using this rally as a final push to stop the Health Care Bill that is being forced upon We The People, to tell all Congressmen/women WE DO NOT WANT SOCIALISM, COMMUNISM, FASCISM, any ism's, and to CEASE AND DESIST.

Some groups are calling for sit in's etc., some groups are calling for actions of other types. I hope to encourage all of PFA members that are going to check your emotions, words and actions tomorrow. There will be plenty of opportunities to find yourselves in heated activities, discussions, etc.

I send this out, because A.N.S.W.E.R., La Raza, Code Pink and many other anti-American groups will be there. They will bait you! They will do everything they can to get you jailed. That is their game, not ours. Be assured many of the Capitol Police dislike the anti-American groups just as much as we do. It would really suck for the Capitol Police to have to arrest you because you took the bait of some thug punks. The Capitol Police would hate it as much as you. We know who they would prefer to arrest. Remember last September how nice, polite and helpful the Capitol Police were? They are our friends, let's not treat them like the enemy. However as I say all that...don't let the SEIU/thug punks beat you down either! You have every right to defend yourself. We do not ever strike first! Never!

Please also have each others backs. If you see older people and/or grandma's, please be sure to have their backs. Those thug groups love to find the weakest and do all their evil to our weakest.

God be with you all tomorrow!

I wish I could have made it down to DC today... I know "Dave Wallace" the state director of the Jim Rutledge Campaign. Jim Rutledge is my candidate this coming election and I hope everyone viewing this comment will look into Jim Rutledge as well, and see that he is the true conservative Senate Candidate running this year. Give Jim your support and let’s take back Maryland and America! God Bless everyone in the tea party movement and Thanks to everyone who made it down to DC. Keep up the excellent work everyone!

WASHINGTON The hundreds of tea party protesters who gathered on Capitol Hill Tuesday were shuffling away from a series of speeches from lawmakers and organizers, all panning health care reform, when one final, unscheduled, speaker grabbed the megaphone.

Charles Lollar, a Maryland Republican running for Congress against House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, jumped up on a bench and gave the most impassioned and well-received speech of the day.

"The crowd asked him to speak," said Jennifer Hulsey, an organizer for the event. "They said, 'We want Charles, we want Charles.' So I said, 'OK,' and we gave 'em Charles."

Lollar didn't focus much on the specific issue of health care. Instead, he gave a broad rallying cry for what he thinks the Tea Party movement is all about by evoking America's founding fathers.

"When our founders arrived here, they had no developer to build them a home, they had no Bank of America to give them a loan and they had no public option to cover them," Lollar said. "They understood, if you give us our freedom, if you leave our money alone, we will build the greatest nation on God's green earth."

After saying that the Tea Party message isn't about hate, Lollar joked about tarring and feathering Washington politicians.

"Thomas Jefferson once said that every generation must have its own revolution," Lollar said. "This is ours, my friends."

Lollar wasn't the only underdog Maryland Republican with a presence at Tuesday's rally.

Charles Wallace, the state director for U.S. Senate candidate Jim Rutledge, also worked the Tea Party crowd by talking to participants individually. He estimated that 15-20 percent of the crowd was from Maryland.

Wallace said health care is a big issue in Maryland and will continue to be until the midterm elections in November.

"(We need) to get the same energy and capture this energy that we have here today...and focus it on our upcoming elections to put conservative, constitutional-minded people in office," said Wallace.

Seven House Republicans spoke at the rally, including Reps. Mike Pence, R-Ind., Michelle Bachmann, R-Minn., and Joe Wilson, R-S.C.

Much of the rally's anger was focused on the proposed "Slaughter solution," a complicated legislative procedure by which House Democrats could deem that the Senate version of the health bill is passed, without having to take a recorded vote.

"Last year, they wanted us to pass a bill without having to read it. This year, they want us to pass a bill without having to vote on it," said Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga.

Rep. Louie Gohmert, waved a copy of the health care bill above his head, referring to the bill as an "abortion" he had to show the crowd.

Bachmann urged the protesters to keep up the pressure until the weekend, when the final vote is expected to take place.

This site sends emails to all 58 blue dogs and a separate email to your congressman. You can change the email to your own words. There are 74,000 people on Resistnet alone. Keep the emails flowing into their congressional offices. We beat Acorn, Organizing for America, and SEIU in Massachusetts - let's win again!!!!

Also ask why Obama, Reid and Pelosi are backing the senate version when Obama admitted a month ago that someone snuck in language that does not guarantee that we keep our current doctors and health insurance if we are satsified.


Also call the blue dog toll free number and leave a message:

We absolutely need to get rid of state senator Brian Frosh this November. He represents MD District 16 (Bethesda, Potomac in Montgomery County). To see why see this link: Brian Frosh on the Issues
