Thousands of people protesting what they call out-of-control government spending are marching to the U.S. Capitol in downtown Washington. (Sept. 12)
WASHINGTON — Tens of thousands of protesters fed up with government spending marched to the U.S. Capitol on Saturday, showing their disdain for the president's health care plan with slogans such as "Obamacare makes me sick" and "I'm not your ATM."
The line of protesters clogged several blocks near the Capitol, according to the D.C. Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency. Demonstrators chanted "enough, enough" and "We the People." Others yelled "You lie, you lie!" and "Pelosi has to go," referring to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
Throngs of people waved U.S. flags and held signs reading "Go Green Recycle Congress" and "Obama Bin Lyin.'" Men wore colonial costumes as they listened to speakers who warned of "judgment day" – Election Day 2010.
Other signs – reflecting the growing intensity of the health care debate – depicted President Barack Obama with the signature mustache of Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler. Many referred to Obama as a socialist or communist, and another imposed his face on that of the villainous Joker from "Batman."
Richard Brigle, 57, a Vietnam War veteran and former Teamster, came from Paw Paw, Mich. He said health care needs to be reformed – but not according to Obama's plan.

What do you expect?
“Richard Brigle, 57, a Vietnam War veteran and former Teamster, came from Paw Paw, Mich. He said health care needs to be reformed – but not according to Obama’s plan.”
And he’s 100% correct...
Media cover up?
Media failure?
Interestingly, the U.K. press says up to two (2) million marched!!!
The District of Corruption police refused to estimate size of crowd!!!
It was hard to count all those people but there had to be hundreds.
Or if you believe the British press....2 MILLION...but what's a few zeros when you're trying to prop up The Zero.
How many school children today would even recognize the man on that poster? Now, if it was MLK...
Are the crowds there to stand up for a return to limited government or to protest taxes? I don’t think tea party goers have done a good job on their mission statement.
Thousands??
or
Millionss??
YOU LIE!
