Can You Hear Us Now? Chicago March on the Media
Chicago Tea Patriots ^ | 10/17/2009 | chicagotea

Posted on 10/17/2009 2:05:51 PM PDT by Velveeta

After action report of yesterday's Chicago "Can you hear us NOW?" march on the media.

Approximately 100 patriots gathered at 4:00pm outside of ABC news studios on State Street in Chicago. We sang God Bless America, The National Anthem and chanted "report the news" "do your jobs" "can you hear us now?" etc...

After about 1/2 hour, we marched on over to CBS News studios. The folks at CBS saw us coming and pulled down the window shades to the studio. LOL, cowards.

More chanting commenced.

The protest was to last until 6pm, but I left at about 5:30 as global warming temperatures in the low 40s left me shivering.

Naturally, there was no mention of the protest on the media, in the media at all.

There was to be part 2 of the protest today in Chicago's Millennium Park, but I couldn't make that event. I hope it went well.

I was never one to protest in the past, but I’ll be attending as many conservative action events as possible.

Time to get off our butts and not sit idly by any longer.

Maybe if you had thrown a trash can through the window like a good anarchist would of then maybe they would of reported it protest. /s

Great video! If the media ignores a million or so in Washington DC, I’m not surprised they ignored this group. We have to keep the pressure on!

I agree and the Chicago group did a great job of editing the video. All credit goes to them for editing and organizing the protest.

Not a lick of coverage from any Chicago media.

I think for the next protest we might want to bring UFO shaped helium balloons....
