To be sure that we had a parking space close to the Comcast Center, [Mrs] T and I arrived around 7:20AM. And our timing worked. We got a spot within 500 feet of our protest of Obama’s speech at this liberal bastion of “education”.
Attendees had already lined up waiting for the doors to open.
And the media was all around just waiting to “media” someone. We were there to oblige. By our count, there was at least 15 different media outlets (domestic & foreign) interviewing the groups that eventually showed up.
BELOW: Several media outlets waiting for us to set up before interviewing us. As I was setting out the posters they took videos. And they even took a video of me screwing together the flag pole. Go figure?
We met up with a group of conservative students who belong to CAMPUSREFORM.ORG. They are a great group of young adults being very, very informed on the health care bill and other political items. CampusReform.org was developed by Leadership Institute to fight “leftist abuses and biases” on campuses across America. They are on over 2,200 campuses nation wide. They are America’s future and we are in good hands.
Most interviews after they arrived were by this group since [Mrs] T and I could have been considered “off campus agitators”. One of the students in their group got a call saying we were on VA’s NBC 9AM news.
Another group that joined us was AMERICANS FOR PROSPERITY. They came in fairly late due to having to find a distant parking space.
BELOW LEFT: Some of the U of Md conservative students arriving about 8AM. BELOW RIGHT: Their senior representative has his first interview even before getting organized. What impressed me about the students was their cool while being interviewed. With their knowledge of the facts, they weren’t tripped up or flustered.
BELOW LEFT: More media and police. The major with the U of MD security that I talked to on Wednesday eventually stopped by to see if everything was alright. BELOW RIGHT: First of the bomb dog sweeps before Obambi showed up.
BELOW LEFT: Liberals seem to leave trash wherever they go. And they were just waiting in line. BELOW RIGHT: Lady in red shirt/white slacks (left center) cleans up after the obamabots.
BELOW LEFT: Students line fence for media interviews. LaRouche sign in back ground. Our group moved several times to distance our self from him. BELOW RIGHT: Heated argument. Hey WALTER REED regulars - recognize the black guy from Walter Reed Friday FReeps? Its been a while since he’d been out with us. He’s since got married but I’m not saying that is why he’s not out with us any more. He kept our poster that said “Criticism is not Racism - I just don’t like Obama’s socialism”.
BELOW LEFT: The U.S. and “Don’t Tread on Me” flags, the trademark flags from the 912 March. BELOW RIGHT: One last interview from a student reporter.
BELOW LEFT: Union thugs (orange shirts) were in abundance today. I counted about 6 different unions there. No sign of ACORN though there were two young black ladies who were getting signatures on a petition supporting the obamacare plan. BELOW RIGHT: This union group chanted “HealthCare Now” for the cameras. Having healthy lungs I shouted some arguments hoping to get into their sound bite.
And here is a panoramic video view of our area. Temps were a little chilly with a brisk wind that you can hear.
While we got still pics of the LaRouche idiot with the Hitler mustache on Obama, the anti-abortion person with a large poster of an aborted fetus, and the ‘death’ theatrics of ObamaCare, but decided not to post them.
Awesome work, patriots! Thank you so much for your efforts and for posting here.
Thanks for this post...love to see the pictures of the t-shirted union thugs...only thing missing is the rent-a-mob rolling of the buses.
“Heated argument. Hey WALTER REED regulars - recognize the black guy from Walter Reed Friday FReeps? Its been a while since he’d been out with us.”
Blacks standing with us really makes them crazy, huh? Bigots.
DC Chapter Master Ping List and others
Rain held off at least while we were there and we were in very good company. It rained to and from the FReep.
Great job you guys. We’re so thankful for all of your work and representing our concerns in a respectful manner. Unlike the others.
Thanks for the post, and for your brave protest.
bttt
Great Job ! Thanks to all who freeped, for your dedication and patriotism !!!!

Great pics...thanks for all that you do!
You guys rock.
Andddddd.....You guys are close to D.C.
Did you know there are "internships" opening up in the White House in some of the offices of the Czars?
Just saying.
Think about it.
You kids are bright and smart and have a lot of moxie, not to mention overbrimming patriotism.
You know what to do. A great deal of (ahem!) insight into how the Czars work could be gained first hand. ;-)
Great work, everybody who stood out there yesterday!
Looks like the guy on the left might be one of those types that crazy Nancy was talking about when she teared up at her presser yesterday.
Thanks for being there [Mr] and [Mrs] T! Great report and photos, which I expect no less from you. U of MD Conservative Students and YOU that were there ROCK! We are so proud of you brave patriots! :)
Maryland PING!
It was great to see you again in DC. I sure have a lot of wonderful memories from those few days......
Good work. Wish they’d have the stones to do this on a weekend when I could attend. If I had been a college student, I probably woulda been escorted out!
Heard Rush commented about us being out there yesterday.
But the college students are the real p-atriots. They really were great. I'm feeling better knowing that they are as active as they are.
Hey JVB, your pic didn't come through.
PS: Sorry about the mass thank you. I'm still trying to get caught up on the Olney AAR which is 4 years late.
[Mr] T
I’ll be sure that special attention is given to your post by the students. The College Republicans at Georgetown and Catholic U should also heed your “(ahem!)”
[Mr] T
