It's Heeeeere! 9/12 Movement Descends on DC - Photo Essay
Talking Points Memo ^ | 9/11/2009

Posted on 09/11/2009 6:58:13 PM PDT by GVnana

Mad as hell and ain't going to take it anymore: people from across the country descended upon Washington D.C. today for a long weekend of Dick Armey-organized activism.

Here's, Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK), who hopes the country can avoid destruction under Obama, kicking off the Liberty Summit. See the agenda for the next few days of Tea Party madness.


Tea Party folk assemble in the DC Armory to listen to the likes of Sen. Inhofe, Dick Armey, and Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC).


A 9/12 movement participant with appropriate flair.


FreedomWorks and other groups, such as the Tea Party Express, are bussing in supporters from all over the country.


House Minority Leader John Boehner spoke at the opening rally: "The American people can stop this nonsense in Washington. It's going to take the involvement of the American people to say, 'Enough is enough.'"


Armey defended heckler Rep. Joe Wilson. "Give poor old Joe Wilson a break here," he said.


More from the kick off rally.

Dick Armey-organized activism.

WTF?! How/why does Armey take credit for this? My understanding is that this movement doesn't have a "leader" per se.

Those of us not able to make it to Washington need to wake up in the morning and flood the telephone lines.

Send emails, faxes.

My emails will say:

YOUR SERVANTS, NOT ROYALTY.

Oh hush - Dick Armey isn’t trying to take credit for anything. I just watched him on Hannity and he is championing the Tea Party cause and if anything, encouraging more people to join in. What’s wrong with you?????

No he does not take credit...just heard him in an interview..he said the MSM keeps bring up his name trying to pretend it was NOT grassroots.

I think you need to mend that slightly -- it sends the wrong message. Try:
YOU'RE SERVANTS, NOT ROYALTY.

When I was at the Promise Keepers years back, there were jumbotrons and such...if they are to have any of those, one can point webcam(s) at the jumbotrons and likely wouldn’t have to move them.

Oh. Missed Hannity, therefore the interview. Sorry...as you were. Or, to quote Emily Lutilla: “Never mind.” LOL

What does he expect people to think when he shows up on television every five minutes? Hannity interviewed him tonight on his show...the Tea Party bus was right behind him.

Tea Party Express just posted a very exciting entry on the last stop in NJ. Can’t post it to Activism since it’s a blog, but check it out: http://teapartyexpress.wordpress.com/
