Bachmann asks for patriots to call Congress and meet up with her at the Capitol next Thursday at High Noon. Time to mobilize!
Stop Socialized Medicine Now!!!
It's the 11th hour....Let's pay Nancy Pelosi a House Call... and tell her what she can do with the "Pelosi Health Care Plan"
(Excerpt) Read more at facebook.com ...
Time to make sure they can hear us now.
Palin/Bachmann 2012!
How many people can they possibly expect to show up, in the middle of the work week, on less than 1 week’s notice? Really, c’mon.
Offhand, I'd say the entire membership of SEUI.
JUST THINK FOLKS! IMAGINE IF SOMEONE HAD DONE THIS THE DAY BEFORE THEY ENACTED MEDICARE OR SOCIAL SECURITY
LETS DO IT!!
And I am beginning to NOT feel sorry for the geezers- whining about their ‘programs’ - They never should have voted themselves their grandchildren’s money in the first place...
I know! Lets pass a new ‘program’ - everyone gets $100,000 bonus this year and we ‘pay for it’ with an IOU for the year 3000
There are two buses going from Cincinnati and two from Dayton, Ohio.
My wife and I would be there but we are flying to Israel on Thurdsay.
There were more than 500,000 who showed up on 9/12.
10% of that would be impressive...in the middle of a work work on less than 1 week's notice. Even 1% would be a pretty powerful statement.
Rush just gave this a big plug. I’m going on
Wednesday with a bus from Chattanooga and Knoxville, TN.
Oh, and if you can’t get to DC, why don’t you and 100 of your closest friends go to your member’s local office. With TV cameras. That should be doable.
bttt
Wish we could....but we’re on the opposite coast.....hmmmm...maybe those that cannot should show up at their local DEMS offices....
9/12 was a big project organized for months with several organizations. This is different.
Check out the Americans for Prosperity page for Oregon. Or use their Local Congressional Office Search to find the local office. Get 100 or so of your closest friends to pay the Dhim a visit (along with some TV cameras).
Our founding fathers pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to give us our country. I think our sacrificing some time to go to Capitol Hill is very small by comparison. Furthermore, think of the men who stormed the beaches of Normandy and the men at Valley Forge who went without shoes. Our men at the Battle of the Bulge had shoe problems, too. This was in winter! So, nothing we sacrifice today can even compare to what those before us have done. :) JMHO
MY DREAM ticket!
I’m a 59 yo male. Not a kid, no illusions. Why not?
Ping to #14. Go pay the local office a visit. From the Missouri chapter page:
Congressional House Call Day - November 5th
Many of you have thankfully placed many calls to your Senators and Congressmen in support of health care reform but against the government run health care proposals in Washington. Those calls, petitions and other contacts have made an impact! The efforts to date have been successful in Washington being aware that they do not have a free hand to destroy the best health care system in the world. It’s not perfect by any means but it is the number one most responsive system around despite the incomplete stories big government supporters and the UN try to foist upon us!
As the health care debate has drawn on, we’ve heard from our contacts on Capitol Hill that calls and visits to the district offices make a big impact. One congressman even admitted that his D.C. staff are “calloused” and said the district offices are a better way to get a message through to the members.
So, we are working collaboratively with other groups in marshalling an effort to turn folks out to the district offices of senators and congressmen on November 5. As you know, Nancy Pelosi revealed the latest proposal for government controlled health care yesterday. It is more of the same, bad medicine for America and we must do all we can to stop it!
Speaker Pelosi plans to vote it out of the House on November 11. The Senate plans to begin “work” in earnest on the equally bad Majority Leader Harry Reid bill in the next week or so also. Combine this with the fact that we’ll be fresh off an election cycle which hopefully sends a loud message to Washington, many people will be politically aware and attuned to what is happening if they are not already.
Many of you have been engaged in the battle already and many more are needed. Working together, we have been able to achieve a lot in a short period of time. Now is the time to step it up even more and to get others engaged. You probably know one, two or more others who want to be engaged and make a difference. The Congressional House Call Day, November 5th will be just such an opportunity. Please join us!
When: Thursday, Nov. 5 , Noon- 1 p.m.
What: Congressional “House Calls” to Sen. McCaskill (any all state district offices – see below), Cong Carnahan and Skelton.
What to do: Gather with friends outside the district office at noon; ask to speak with a staff member. Explain your concerns about the health care proposals under consideration and deliver your letters, stories, petitions, etc.
RSVP: RSVP for Congressional House Call Day
What to bring: Bring your sign, your personal story of why you don’t want a Washington takeover of health care, and a hand-written letter for your member of Congress. Patients First, a project of AFP, will have an “Rx for Real Reform” prescription available for download from our Web sites, PatientsFirst and Americans for Prosperity. This will be a one-pager expressing the type of real reforms we’d like to see, as well as some things to vote NO on. You’re making a “House Call” — better bring the right prescription! Also, bring your camera and send us your pictures — we’d love to post them.

this worked beautifully the time that the Tennessee State Legislature attempted to enact a State Income Tax. Those critters inside were afraid to come OUT of the Capitol if they did not vote the right way!
That was classic! Needless to say; that idea of a state income tax vanished into thin air...
You know if that TN bus is stopping in memphis?
I doubt it will be a huge crowd but a couple of thousand following Michele through the hall of congress will be great!
Not this one; it’s going basically from south to north on the east side of the state, about 375 miles away from Memphis.
If you can’t make it to Washington, D.C., go to the local offices of your Congressman and Senators. Bring a video camera, too, if possible. Do what you can.
I just can’t afford to come. Hopefully folks close by will join.
Here’s one.
For the whole series of Zero dollar bills, go here:
I am going to try to get there via Amtrak
“I am beginning to NOT feel sorry for the geezers- whining about their ‘programs’ - They never should have voted themselves their grandchildren’s money in the first place...”
Dude!
What sort of people do you think we are?
We are Vietnam Vets.
We are Reagan Republicans.
We are Reagan Democrats.
We supported the Contract with America.
We were working in the World Trade Center on 9/11.
Our kids are in Iraq & Afgahnistan today.
We’re packing for our trip to D.C. on Thursday.
Can’t we get a little Love here?
That would be a dream ticket!!!!!!!!!!
Will New York Times and other archaic media dare to report on this one before the fact, or will they allow themselves to be humiliated again, like when they missed 9/12, Van Jones, etc?
I’m going. And I have to go to Penn for homecoming then to the USS New York commissioning this weekend.
I’ve seen the faces of 90 year old Polish and Russian immigrants I visit, that are scared out of their minds at what’s happening in this country... they’ve seen it before.
This is life or death for all of us, even if some can’t understand the implications and fight us.
I’m going for the immigrants that lived through it (and those that didn’t), for those who are euthanized (whether in the Netherlands, Schiavo or in nursing homes today), freedom for future comers, for those in countries that come here for treatment (and benefit from our research, which you will not get after this), for what this country was founded and thrived on, freedom and individual rights for my children/grandchildren.
And thankfully, we got all our kids placed in schools early on the job.
If the right things happen, maybe we can take control of our futures. I started this thread with the hopes that people like you will be able to keep us all free people.
You should have seen the USS New York today... with the WTC flag aloft (white, two dark towers, American flag across), with that 7 tons of steel from the WTC in the bow.
There are no words.
She is beautiful.
Her motto...
I know, I wish there had been more time, but I suppose Pelosi just sprang this recently?
Ya know, Conservatism just makes one beautiful, doesn’t it? :)
And we got to get ourselves back to the Gaaaarden! (Er, the Caaaapitol!)
What are the specifics on that bus in Knoxville? When? Where? Cost? Itinerary? etc.
“Never Forget”
Great Motto!
Looking for coverage on TV.
I’m a NYC native.
I’ll never forget.
We lose nothing standing with them, we stand to gain much.
45 married to a the perfect woman, (Who makes Palin look like a Liberal) so no illusions here either.
....And neither should we.
Sarah Palin should be there.
It would guarantee huge crowds.
HA!!! ‘High Noon’!!! I LOVE it! God bless Michelle and the other patriots who will attend!
bump
It’s likely to leave about 10:00 p.m. Wednesday, go through the night, drop the passengers off for the Capitol demonstration, and take us back . Otherwise the details are still to be developed. I’ll Freepmail you as soon as I know.
These politicos don't care that folks have to work for a living, or have children to care for during the day. They've relied on that for years, to keep whittling away at liberty.
Very good point Chief!
It looks like I’ll be able to swing an extended lunch break and head down there. Where is everybody supposed to meet for Bachmann’s rally? “The Capitol” isn’t a terribly specific spot.
I would think many people who have lost jobs in the past year and live within a few hours’ driving time might want to try to attend. I would certainly be motivated!
I’m in L.A. but would be there if I could be — I’ll surely be there in spirit!!!
