Thanks!
Sure hope the police state doesn’t try and ruin both rallies!

Capitol Hill police are trying to block activists attending Wednesday's "Audit the IRS"...
Organizers for the IRS event were told by Hill police that "your people" can only assemble on the west side. Organizers were told to remove the activists from the immigration event. Capitol Hill police left a voicemail for Kevin Mooneyhan, Deputy Executive Director of Tea Party Patriots, saying that "your people" only are permitted to assemble for the event on the west side of the Capitol. The activists' presence at the immigration event on the east side, supposedly violates the terms of the Tea Party's permit.
Ping!
I count 58 speaker in that list. If they each speak for five minutes, that’s almost five hours, just for the speakers. Doesn’t seem likely.
Right Scoop wants our email addresses to watch? Why?
Capitol Hill police are trying to block activists attending Wednesday´s “Audit the IRS” rally from also attending a nearly day-long press conference on immigration,hosted by Reps. Steve King and Louie Gohmert.
But are that many assembled on the Lawn?

It’s going to take Brazil/Turkey type confrontations to move the needle.
When Bachmann originally announced this on the Rusty Humphries weekend 6/15/pm show the target she mentioned was “Amnesty” not IRS. While IRS is there, defeating “Amnesty” is still the major objective.
THANK YOU! Thanks for posting this and God bless you, Kristinn, and all who continue to fight for America.
What happened to the live stream feed???????
Bob Bauer? First time I have heard of him.
I’ve watched this all and it’s about ready to end.
It was great. Thank you to everyone that shared and spoke.
I've not been a great fan of Glenn Beck lately, though I was when he had his TV show. When I watched him on TV, I generally overlooked his minor shortcomings in favor of his timely and revelatory messages.
Therefore, during his speech today, I was rather surprised by the fact that I became intensely riveted to his words.
He delivered flawlessly a strong, manly speech. I also noticed that his speech was very intellectual, not lightweight as is sometimes the norm in these types of rallies.
In fact, I noticed he was way in front of the crowd in some of his many incisive phrases and thoughts....all speakers had to hurry so much that many of Beck's cerebral ideas could not be caught and digested by the crowd in time for the approving reactions and hand-clapping they deserved.
I'm sure the folks will somehow find a transcript....I, myself, would like to study his words in a more leisurely and quiet way. There's some amazingly good stuff in there that got lost and buried under the pressures of time.
I carefully watched the audience during Glenn's speech. Like me, they appeared riveted also, you could almost hear a pin drop in that vast crowd, their eyes remained almost glued on him during the entire length of his longish message.
To sum up, his remarks had all the earmarks of a great speech. The sometimes zany and emotional patriot of yesterday seemed to me to be totally mature, serious and controlled today, more so than I've ever seen him or expected him to be.
I'm thrilled to death that he rose to and above the occasion today, delivering what I consider to be the most weighty and important oration of the day.

Finally getting back to write a report on the Rally and Press Conference and the confusion about them both...
I will do it in several posts so if I lose part of it, not all will be lost!
First to all who have replied to the thread and seemed to want information.
