Michele Bachmann (R-MN) rallied the small tea party-style crowd outside the Capitol this morning by promising them that conservatives will stop the Democrats' efforts to pass health care reform in the final week of debate.
"It's the bottom of the 9th, and we've won every inning so far," she said. "All we have to do is keep it up through Saturday."
Bachmann promised that tea party opponents of reform will stay on Capitol Hill this week, saying that if they do they'll put and end to the process before it begins. "They want you to think you've won this," she said. "But they've got another thing coming."

So...no "live coverage".
I wish them all well, and am with them at least in spirit.
Fox News radio has been mentioning the “Tea Partiers” at the Capitol on their news every half hour....

Call your Representative directly if you can. Go to the House website to find your Rep’s office number. If you can’t get through to their office in D.C., call their local office.
Thank you for standing up for freedom Kristinn! I wish I could be there with you!!!
Got thru to my local Illinois 3rd Dist Congressman Lipinski’s office with no problem. They said he was voting no. I told them to thank him for doing the right thing. He’s a Dem from Chicago.
Send Pelosi an email and let her know what you think of her healthcare bill.

Congressional Action Alert from Oregon Right to Life
Schrader, Wu Listed as Undecided on Healthcare Vote More Info
Call TODAY!
Oregon Congressmen Wu and Schrader Listed as Undecided on the Healthcare Bill Vote!
According to a list published in The Hill, Oregon congressmen David Wu (OR-CD1) and Kurt Schrader (OR-CD5) are undecided on how to vote on the healthcare reform bill that has already passed in the U.S. Senate. The Oregonian is also reporting that Schrader has not committed to a yes or no vote.
Both Wu and Schrader have previously voted for, and been vocal supporters of, healthcare reform bills but the current political climate might be giving them pause. If there is the slightest chance that Wu or Schrader could oppose the current bill, it is our responsibility to urge them to vote no!
Call Congressmen David Wu and Kurt Schrader’s DC offices today and respectfully and clearly ask them to vote NO on the bill. House Democratic leaders are pushing for a vote this week so urgent action is needed. If you have time, also contact their local offices and repeat your request to their local staff.
Congressmen Wu and Schrader need to once again hear that Oregonians do not want this bill to pass! Nancy Pelosi does not yet have the votes needed but the battle is too close to call for now.
