I want to thank all those who went to Washington, D.C. this week and this weekend to take a heartfelt stand for our freedom. And thanks to those who fought the battle from home.
You have made a difference, even though it appears a battle has been lost today.
Our opponents fear you. Don't be fooled by their bravado. And don't be intimidated by their attempts to paint you in a false light. They know how strongly you feel about defending our liberty.
Liberal standard bearer Howard Fineman of Newsweek wrote this about the Tea Party protesters still at the Capitol at 10 p.m. on Sunday night:
I'm sitting in the House Press Gallery writing a piece for Newsweek. It's almost 10 pm and the House is moving toward a vote. On the plaza below, outside the Capitol, I can hear the remnants of a raucous Tea Party crowd. They are chanting "Nancy! Nancy!" and "Kill the Bill." They just sang "God Bless America." I've been around a while, and don't remember a crowd of foes trying to shout down a bill from outside as the vote approached. Maybe it's happened. Though the voices are faint, they're worth noting--and remembering.
I've been around a while, too, and I am enormously proud of the work that was done this week by our side. You will be remembered. And if you stay the course you will be victorious one day.
Thank you! The fight has just begun.
AMEN
I was happy to be there.
I am sorry for the outcome.
Well said. We fight on.
HOOZAY...HOOZAY
I echo your comments. The battle is lost, but the war is far from over.
I was there too (flew down from Vermont early Sat AM) and was one of those outside disrupting the rules committee by shouting.
I’m glad they could hear us inside, makes the loss of my voice worth it.

I wish we all could do as much as you do. Thank you.
Yes, Thank you for being there and being the voice of the people. It is not your fault that they would not listen to you.
Our only hope is that it get reversed by SCOTUS
+1
bump of thanks
Well said. Thank you all for standing for us.

Thanks to all of you who went to D.C...You are all in my heart...
Thank you Kristinn. Our battle has only begun, but I will never underestimate the power of freedom-loving Americans. We shall prevail.
THANK-YOU! We have just begun to FIGHT!
This tainted victory lap for these tyrant Dems will be short-lived. Soon it will turn into sour stomach disgust for them as what they did to this nation will be the fury of the American people upon them!
No, that is not our only hope. We have to win the elections this fall.
And then investigate and impeach all of these criminals who have been robbing the country blind !
