RE:HCAN-Responding to Right-Wing Attacks in the Field-August 4,2009.

Since early February, we've seen increasing numbers of militant right-wing activists attending public meetings across the country targeting members of Congress and President Obama. Now in the August recess, the "tea-bagger" protesters and right-wing activists are showing up in larger numbers with a mission to be as disruptive as possible in the hopes of rattling members of Congress and halting health care reform through pure spectacle and obstruction.

Health Care for America Now! "Quality, affordable health care for all!"

Does anybody have the goods on this organization and who is behind it/funding it?

It’s interesting to note that in 1929 the US government was spending 3 % of our country’s gross domestic product (GNP).

2009, the US government will consume 40 % of our GNP... and even at that it’s spending 13 % more (or 1,8 trillion dollars) than it takes in.

We’re heading straight to Socialism, then bankruptcy.

The enormously expensive Congressional health bill, if passed, will seal the deal.

union thugs, prepare yourself accordingly...

Wow, wasn’t it nice of them to provide us with the play by play?

[Always Right]

LOL, the f-ing liberals scream and put make headlines out of organized phony protests (which BTW weren’t organized or phony at all), then they organize their thugs to make really phony counter-protests. These bastards are truly NAZIs.

“Organizing your own events with a member of Congress”

“How should we interact/What do we say to the other side?”

They have to tell their Peeps how to behave in public to those who don’t agree with them? These people are out there!

Harry and Louise, I think...

[444Flyer]

[Tigercap]

Holy Cow. That “steering committee” is a who’s who of anti-constitution groups.

[Lilpug15]

Well, we maybe should start thwarting back... in the parking lot.

[April Lexington]

Hmmm.... the National Association of Leftist Radicals seems to be missing from the list...
