Can the conservatives in America put 1 million angry citizens on the capital steps in 48 hours who are prepared to camp and stop Pelosi,Reid, and the Marxist congress from destroying our country. Folks, this lame duck session is way over the top and out of control and needs to be stopped. NOW! Lets put a million people on the capital steps and be heard..........red
That’s what I asked about on another thread. The GOP is selling us out and while there is outrage, where is the peaceful protest in the street?
I’ll drive straight thru to DC, weather be damnes. Anyone want to join me?
I wish I could. I haven’t got $100 to my name, though.
No idea what to do. Can’t contribute, but I’ve posted stuff everywhere I can.
Conservatives have jobs and responsibilities, which could be a problem. ;-)
I would certainly do it if I could.
Liberals can put a million on the street because as dissimilar as all the 'takers' are, they stick together. If the environmentalists need help, the gays and ethnic groups are there. If the abortion people need help, the anti-gun folks and, pedophiles are there.
But within the conservatives if one group wants to rally, they are usually on their own.

Thank you for posting this...I too was wondering WHAT will it take or WHEN will the American folk STORM the building and kick some butt, I mean that LITERALLY!!!
Man! I hear it’s getting cold in DC.
How much do I get paid?
:0)
Let me me know where and when.
The can put a million in a march because the PAY the marchers and then provide the transportation.
No
2 reasons. It’s Christmas time and most Americans are involved with getting ready and have you seen a wind chill map of the DC area lately? Its damn cold to be running around the streets while our politicians hide out in congress and do whatever they want to anyway.
Demonstrations didn’t do us any good on Obamacare, did it?
Be practical. Put on the streets of state capitals.
(Republican “lame-ducks” in 2006)
Congress will convene on Tuesday for what some fear will be the lamest of lame-duck sessions, and GOP leaders have decided to take a minimalist approach before turning over the reins of power to the Democrats. Rather than a final surge of legislative activity, Congress will probably wrap up things after a single, short week of work. They have even decided to punt decisions on annual government spending measures to the Democrats next year.
There is a lot of battle fatigue among members, probably on both sides of the aisle, said Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.), usually a reliable conservative firebrand. Contrary to popular belief, members of Congress are human beings. They have a certain shelf life and a certain amount of energy to be drawn on. Were tired.
Anguished over the Democrats victory on Nov. 7 and the tumult that has followed, GOP lawmakers want to get out of town. One senior Senate Republican aide called hopes for substantive legislation delusional.
Much of the problem is as prosaic as office space, GOP aides said. Lawmakers were forced to vacate their offices on Friday, and few of them want to hang around Washington with no place to sit. Retiring House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Bill Thomas (R-Calif.) got angry during a meeting of committee chairmen, demanding to know how he was supposed to complete work on the business tax extension bill without an office, according to one GOP aide present in the meeting.
I think yes.
I wish I could but I have a disabled husband that needs help 24/7. I’ll be there in spirit. I’m so mad at the Rats & RINO’s that I could spit. What is wrong with these jerks trying to get & getting all these pork projects in at the last minute without us knowing what they are voting on. Why is Reid still in? He should have been kicked to the curb in Nov. I’m fed up & we need a third party-THE TEA PARTY! I was originally a Rat (my family were union people in the 50’s & 60’s) the Rats left me so I became a Republican (Reagan) & now I’m a Conservative Tea Party Republican. The Parties left me as they moved left Progressive & I didn’t leave them. Shame on them. I’m into genealogy & maybe its time for another Revolution against the King & his minions.
No
We have jobs, families commitments and responsibilities.
...they pay them, bus them, feed them, and hand out t-shirts and printed signs. Astroturf.
For now.
Should have known some FReeper would post that while I was typing...
