“Today, FreedomWorks joined other free-market, limited government organizations in the “Code Red” rally against government-run health care”
Bravo. Keep up the good work. Senators should see this as a prescription coming November 2nd of 2010.
They bought him off and he is for sale. He needs to go. As well as the RINOs we have in Washington. Collins, Graham & Snowe need to be run out on a rail.
I couldn't believe he was going to STAND...
Joe always asks himself "what would Lindsay do?"
And so he folded.
Thank You Code Red Patriots! :)
President Barack Obama called a meeting at the White House with Senate Democrats to push for movement on the bill, inviting all 60 members of the Democratic Caucus.
AND in order to have every democrat Senator be unavailable to their constituents who planned to visit them in their offices next to the park where the rally was held!
Only staffers were available to respond (with cold dead eyes) to concerned members of their constituencies - concerned enough to travel hundreds of miles in order to meet face to face with their elected representatives.
Lie-berman has never been nor never will, be an ally.
77777777
All we have to remember about Lieberman is that in 2000 he ran for reelection in Connecticut as a senator at the same time he ran for vice-president with Al Gore.
He campaigned with Gore spouting every liberal policy.
He campaigned in CT as a traditional semi-conservative democrat, spouting opposite lines to the very words he was saying on the appearances with Gore.
Like I said, he is not folding, he is doing exactly as he says he is going to do.
I didn’t see any coverage of this on the news.
How many people were there?
Dang you are up early.
Cindy_True_Supporter, GunsAreOK, RongKirby, a good friend from the Code Pink House protest days, and myself were there together. We met some patriots that we met from previous Tea Party type events.
I estimated around 2,000, possible 2,500 counting those milling around the edges. Buses from northern Maryland and North Carolina accounted for about 900 alone. Apparently a bus came up from Texas.

Thanks for the photos!
KILL THE BILL!
Troop Rally, your estimate is a little low. I was over on the corner of the Russell bldg and talked with many groups that came by there as I greeted them. Yes, a number from Texas, but there were 23 buses from NJ, I’m not sure how many buses from PA but a number. I spoke with groups here from OH, WVA, GA, KY, VA ,PA and NC. I stayed over at the Russell during the Rally. During the Rally they were still arriving. Many of the Code Red were skipping the Rally to get into the Senate offices. Remember the crowds at WR on 9/11 of 800 and 11/7 at the Steve King press rally of 2-2.5 K. This crowd I have seen estimated greater than 6,000. My estimate is 10-12 K.
This is the best video I have seen from our very own, OP.
