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

Posted on 03/20/2010 12:41:33 PM PDT by Former Military Chick

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.

Yeah it was short notice. I guess they thought of it too late. But now we all should know what to do. If not I'll explain it. I thank the 25k who attended . That was very good on such short notice. We need to take time to plan hundreds of thousands to attend larger protests. We need more people, spread the word, email talk show hosts so they campaign for larger protests.

Czechoslovakia which is a tiny country smaller than most states managed to have hundreds of thousands protesting which crippled the city of Prague and brought down the communist government peacefully.

We in the U.S.A need to do the same,stop this bill and bring down THIS communist government in DC. It can be done . We can repeal this bill if passed .We can bring down this communist government peacefully. It can be done if we believe we can.

In the space of just a few weeks in November 1989, the Communist system in Czechoslovakia was brought to its knees. Massive protests on the streets of Prague - often several hundred thousand strong - forced the resignation of the hard-line Communist Party leadership in what became known as "the velvet revolution."

Yeah, I'm about an hour out of KC.

I was thinking just earlier how nice it would have been if I had had the ingredients to make chili for DH , as he'll be cold after today's nightmare.

I am in 100% agreement. And those who absolutely cannot drive 3,000 miles can have an alternate meeting protest area on the west coast.

Tomorrow is a day of Worship. Let’s hold our worship services outside - right in front and around the House of Representatives.

During today's rally, Michele Bachmann announced that a worship service would be held at 11am on Sunday in the Capitol rotunda and Statuary Hall. She invited all the tea partiers to attend. I thought that was pretty cool.

Thank you. I hope you will help me in spreading these ideas in your own words through emails to talk show hosts so they call for these larger protests.

We just got back from the WDC protest get together at the Capitol. There were about 25,000-50,000 people there at any one time from 12 noon till about 4pm. That wasn't bad for a couple days of getting the word out. It was great! Lots of camaraderie and support was to be had. Don't count the “news” to say anything about the rally. Remember for the 9-12 rally they barely noticed the 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 people who were there. They want you to think you are alone...YOU'RE NOT! Resist! Resist! Resist! In your heart you know what to do.

Dumb Question:
Is your photo in post 35 from today (Sat. March 20, 2010)?

Just asking because our expensive, worthless cable operator had
“NO SIGNAL” for Fox News Channel from about 3PM to 5PM.

Of course, we still had MSNBC...AAARRRGGGHHH!!!

So we the people cannot enter the Capitol, peacefully? What BS.

In the main, I agree.

But at the same time, after experiencing some major protest/counter-protests
at the Federal building in West Los Angeles during the Dubya-Gore
Florida Voting Imbroglio...
I sympathize with the law enforcement officers charged with keeping
things from getting out of hand.

Hopefully somebody at FOX will get an interview with the head of
the Capitol police unit.
I can just about GUAR-AN-DARN-TEE you that they’ll say the Tea
and conservative “protestors” were civil, peaceable and a pleasure to
work with.

That’s what the LAPD said about the Free Republic contingent at
all the “protests” I participated in.

NO, he will not use NATO forces either. He will use Russia and Chinese ones... (And Venezuelan/Nicaraguan/Cuban/Iranian/Syrian ones)...

Most NATO forces will not fire upon Americans, especially Eastern European ones. And the French, well,...

0 would have to disband the US military and invite an invasion by forces hostile to America. (Which would also be the end of Obama, except to be a puppet leader at best)

Amazing that Democrats’ are attempting a socialist takeover of America and all some of you on a conservative forum , all you can do is bash Republicans about something you have no idea about, something you have no clue of what is going on up there or what processes they have to go through etc..

And you say nothing about these democrats/communists giving them a pass.

Maybe you are democrats or just something is wrong with you people that criticize Republicans all the time when Democrats are performing a socialist coup of America:”The Republicans should be doing x , y , z etc. waa waa, blah , blah, why aren't the Republicans doing a, b, c waaa waa blah” . yeah why aren't you up there protesting? all you and your ilk can do is bash Republicans.

Republicans have gone out to the crowd and then rushed back in to vote and debate the Democrats/Marxists and fight inside where they need to be to keep the Democrats from cheating and winning the debate for the undecided.

here are pictures of REpublican Pence and Bachmann out with the crowd today:
