For several weeks now, we’ve been force fed false statements and downright lies about the healthcare legislation Congress is attempting to put in to law. We’ve all read the headlines, digested the stories and seen the mainstream media sanctioned infomercials. We know exactly what they’re trying to do, but liberal Democrats and their followers continue to push the legislation through.
When we combined efforts for the April 15th Tax Day Tea Party, we had more than 20 free-market minded organizations, over 850 organizers, and tens of thousands of American patriots working together to make a unified statement.
Last week, Erick Erickson at RedState.com and I discussed the need for another large scale, widely promoted and unified stance against this dangerous healthcare legislation. After talking with Erickson, the folks at Smart Girl Politics and several other free-market groups, we decided that Saturday, August 22nd (during the Congressional August Recess) would be the perfect day for this nationwide event.
Michelle Malkin, one of our biggest allies for the April 15th, Tax Day Tea Party effort, has joined the coalition along with Smart Girl Politics, American Liberty Alliance, American Majority, the Sam Adams Alliance, Americans for Limited Government, Freedom Works, and RedState.com. The coalition is expected to grow in the coming weeks.
Michelle Malkin said“Now is the time for all good tea party activists to get out on the streets and tell Washington to keep its grubby hands off health care. The socialized medicine brigade is on the run. They’re hoping that the August recess will take the steam out of the counterinsurgency, but they are wrong. We will not let up. We are going to get out to a Recess Rally near us on August 22nd. It’s crunch time.”
It’s crunch time indeed.
On August 22nd, at noon local time, every freedom loving American in this great country needs to be at the office of their elected Representative. We’ll be hand delivering a petition and coalition letter, along with a strong and unified message carried by hundreds of thousands of Americans.
The Recess Rally is planned for each and every House of Representative’s district office in the country. These Government thugs think they can slip socialism into America without is knowing about it. We think it’s time to prove them wrong.

this is not a nationwide rally
it is local, at your congresscritter’s location, each of them
it is local, small, no need for speakers, no need for speaking sessions
Just like a normal Freep, do it, excpect 50 or 60 to each location, demand it!
Get on the radio and announce it!
Save your efforts for your Tea Party Express
Not useless, it is a rallying cry.
most of them are in DC anyways, so, rallying at their district office is pointless, anyways??
I say GO FOR IT!
It keeps the movement alive! It keeps people active!
It makes people pay attention!
It psychs you up for Sep 11-12!
Thanks for link — forwarded.
We have to do EVERYTHING we CAN to STOP THE INSANITY!!!
“And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light. “
Dylan Thomas
Good poem - thanks!
Yes, we must do everything we can to fight them, and there are many ways still left to fight.
Rallies are good.
Finding and supporting good candidates to run to boot out the socialists are must do’s.
Sitting and doing nothing = not an option.
