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.

I guess one fraud is as good as another ;-)

Clinton would say it depends on what the definition of "wizard" is.

This is starting to look more and more like a Dictatorship. Those buildings belong to the people. At this point we the people have been ignored, lied to, stolen from, and turned away from voicing our opinion. Doesn’t sound like much of a Democracy...any more.

The White House may just find out what the meaning of 80 million armed Americans, and 700 million rounds of ammo is.

Well if they won’t allow us in, perhaps we can keep them out tomorrow?

You have ways to block the underground tunnel?

“Now you are talking . Block the bastards .”

That might just scare a couple of Democrats into a NO.

I have not heard any reports about the turnout of protestors in Wash. today. That makes me think it wasn’t much. Anyone heard?

I was at the rally. There were 40,000 people there according to estimates.

Why is no one, including Fox, reporting this?

Instead, all we are getting is wall-to-wall coverage of Obama and the Dems, as if the victory is already secure.

At this point, I consider Barak Hussein Obama a greater threat to America than Osama Bin Laddin or Al Queada or Islam or the Chinese or the Russians or freaking aliens! Obama is not just a threat to my “way” of life... he IS a threat TO MY LIFE... and that goes for every single member of the “federal” government... I now consider the entire edifice a terrorist organization.

The time to lock and load and have tar and feather parties is rapidly approaching my friends. This is what these BASTARDS in Congress are pushing those of us who'd otherwise be peacefully expressing our opinions towards.

When they've taken away our God given right to seek peaceful redress with the Government that We The People own, then it is high time for the revolution.

that’s ridiculous. Corporations are over regulated, over taxed (highest tax rate in the world), and over sued, and over unionized.

Still in spite of all this corporations like Intel and IBM manage to create computer chips and microprocessors which no government can match, which you can’t do , which no non profit can do , which 99.999% of the American public can do. can you do what Intel corporation does, or Caterpillar or Dell , or Ford or GM or GE OR IBM does?

Most of the goverment educated American public is functionally illiterate. You should thank corporations for creating the technology you use like this computer, Internet(At & t and other corporations run the Internet) etc.

On 4/15 that’s just what I want to see happen.

I’d rather go down in flames than kneel down as a serf of these fascists.

I’ll be there. I hope some of you will join me.
