Tea Party protesters refused entry into congressional buildings
Washington Examiner ^ | 03/20/10 3:15 PM EDT | Mark Hemingway

As part of today's rally to stop the Democrats' health care reform legislation thousands of protesters descended on the lawn of Capitol building. But many more were also using the occasion to visit the their congressional representative and tell them what they think of the bill.

However, Capitol Police recently stopped allowing any of the peaceful protesters to enter into congressional buildings. Crowds are now gathering in front of the House and Senate offices, demanding that they be let in to air their constituent concerns.

Nice sized crowd, though, judging by the pictures. I hope our voices are heard somehow!

November’s coming.......

Then I’m going to make sure there are no longer any healthy organs left. (At my age, it’s a cinch, LOL!)

I hope to God the protesters make this a “historical” day today. I’d donate bond money.

Yeah, like last year's Tea Party with almost 2 million and the Pro-Life rallies every year with 250,000 and more.

It's blatant propaganda reporting so the peasants "think" it's just minor stuff, nothing to get all "we-weed up abput".

Our elected politicians don’t want to talk to us lowly citizens. They are after all, “above us” and above the fray. Elitist who know what is good for everyone else.

I can't help but feel that this is all my fault : I moved my summer clothes upstairs and my winter clothes downstairs, put out my sandals , changed my perfume collection on the vanity from the fall/winter to the spring/summer fragrances, and bought two new sun dresses. I guess the weather took that as a challenge! :-D

Our daffodils were *just* starting to blossom, there were buds on the lilac bush and the forsythia, maybe the flowering almond too...I hope they're ok.

Finally, as predicted, as expected, the Obama Adminitration and the Democrat Party have ordered the new Gestapo (Capital Police) to prevent American citizens in peaceful protest from seeing and talking with their President and congress representatives. Big Brother Obama, straight from 1933, I love you!!! Love live, the Human God, Freedom hater, anti-Ameriocan, POTUS Barack Hussein Obama and his lock-step Democrat Party!!!

I'm sorely tempted ! I hope they're right about it being back in the 60s by Wednesday.

(My poor DH is out getting his CCW today-he has to shoot outside today to get the license (15 out of 20 minimum) while the snow is coming down and piling up . It's practically a white out here-and his nephew's store (a new Menard's) is having their grand opening today. Just lovely!)
