SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Indiana Republican Rep. Mike Pence and Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli were among the keynote speakers at a thousands-strong rally in Washington, D.C., Sunday that was intended to send a message to big-spending lawmakers.

Tea Partiers are going to "throw the bums out" and "let failures fail."

Those were the notices on at least some of the signs at the FreedomWorks-sponsored march in Washington, D.C. Similar events were held in St. Louis and Sacramento.

Sunday's event, themed "Remember in November," is calling for less government spending and smaller government in general. Dick Armey, the former Republican House majority leader and founder of FreedomWorks, the Washington, D.C.-based conservative nonprofit advocacy group, said the march was about a simple decision.

"It's really a choice between small government conservatives and big government liberals," he told Fox News.
