I heard the crowd wanted Cardin to answer if he would take the public option. He finally said he’ll be on Medicare soon. I am SURE he will have supplemental private insurance though.

Keep the pressure on! Call, fax and get to a townhall. Get family, friends and neighbors there.

Great job by the people in Maryland!!! They are paying union goons and troublemakers and they still do not get crowds. We need to swamp them and make the pols feel the heat.

We stop them here, we let them know to not even thing about Amnesty!

Resist!

Those who are not union thugs far outnumber those who are union thugs.

That reminded me of another good one from tonight:

"Hey Hey- Ho Ho- Union Thugs have got to go"

Heres a pic showing the red shirt/yellow shirt astroturfers:

I was also at the demonstration outside the event in Towson where there had to be nearly 1,000 (if not more) patriots of all shapes and sizes and sexes and even races who could not get in

—and we stared down what looked to me to be a single bus-load (or thereabout) of professional union thugs for a few hours. And—

Things got pretty heated.

The anti-Obamacare (aka Final Solution) folks there, Freepers and our bretheren, were just everyday working people, middle class or blue collar, and all carrying homemade signs or American flags.

I personally got into it (verbally) with a Bolshie troll and also found out how much fun it is to chant “Palin! Palin!” right in the faces of the commies. What a catharsis that is. When you’re down in the dumps, find a leftie and chant Palin at them.

I know I’m spamming a bit tonight but it was a fabulous turnout and a great night of participatory democracy. I saw a man who was about 85 with an “Obamacare = Euthanasia” poster and it made me proud to be on our side and I told him to “Keep the faith.”

It’s a good sign that blue-blue-blue state Md. can generate real grassroots/spontaneous action such as tonight’s.

And, as I’ve said elsewhere tonight: We’re on the move, baby.

Considering that the Yankee government prevented Maryland legislators from voting on secession (would have passed), I’d say they’ve always had the spirit.

You are a HERO, PaleoBob...I moved from the ‘burbs of DC 2 years ago, after leaving a stint at DoS...Before that I worked as the Ops Manager for a National Company...no better blue collar, responsible group of employees under my command then Baltimore guys. I had Baltimore, DC, NoVa and guys in between there and Va Beach as employees...Baltimore guys were the cream of the crop. Non-union...pride in work, there everyday. No one can tell me Maryland went Obama.
