Two busloads of conservative activists rolled into Las Vegas today with two things on their mind: halting proposed health care legislation and ousting Nevada Sen. Harry Reid.
The Tea Party Express, an outgrowth of the modern-day TEA (Taxed Enough Already) parties held around the country on April 15, is on a 34-stop tour that spans from coast-to-coast, holding rallies to decry what organizers call out-of-control government spending and to encourage conservative voters to begin organizing for 2010 elections.
The caravan today stopped at the Sports Center of Las Vegas, on Sunset Road east of Las Vegas Boulevard, where several hundred supporters gathered in the parking lot.

"Rally speakers decried Reids support of the legislation, which they say will come with tax increases, and called on Reid to apologize for a recent comment that Tea Party attendees are evil mongers. Organizers said efforts to portray the rallies as gatherings of angry, disaffected mobs are inaccurate and nothing more than attempts to dismiss the concerns the rallies raise."

We need bigger turnouts as the tour progresses to keep building the momentum.
Please be sure to promote the events to your friends and associates and attend the rally in your area.
A couple of hours out of your day will make a difference in our country's future.

Here is the chance America needs, NEVADA WAKE UP and throw the bum out, he was never honestly voted into office in the first place. Election fraud got him were he is at, THANK THE WELL PAID HOMELESS FOR REID IN OFFICE.
Reid is just one brick that needs to be pulled from the foundation of corruption and evil. Nevada call for Reid to resign now, call for the removal of Reid, obozocare or hilarycare is an act of TREASON against America, this bill if passed could mean the DEATH of millions of Americans, this is not just murder, ethnic cleansing it is TREASON.

Just when you think Reid can’t get any nuttier he proves you wrong.

Harry Reid, former gaming commissioner of Nevada, figured out the only way to hit the jackpot was to get elected a US senator. He was right, and he did. Unfortunately, his constituents paid off the bet.

en garde!
It's ironic that the "grass roots" organizations of the left purport to represent what they call the people, and yet it is they which are merely small groups of loudmouths who can't get huge crowds to turn out, and rely on leftist millionaires to bankroll their demagoguery. Here's one topic more that isn't directly related, but A) I missed it when I pinged ya to the other two, and B) I just love reading about it again:

Please, Nevada — come November 2010, get Hairy out of there. You know it’s the right thing to do.
