Thousands of conservative activists will arrive in Washington, D.C., today for the Taxpayer March to protest government spending under the Obama administration.
The effort is a combination of individual grassroots activism and a coalition of right-leaning groups, including FreedomWorks and the National Taxpayers Union, who are supporting the effort. The 9/12 date sprung from an effort by conservative Fox News commentator Glenn Beck. Speakers at Saturdays rally include: Dick Armey of FreedomWorks, as well as GOP Reps. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Mike Pence of Indiana, Tom Price of Georgia, and South Carolina GOP Sen. Jim DeMint. As far as I know this is the largest gathering of fiscal conservatives in history, says FreedomWorks spokesman Adam Brandon.

Quincy is a down state traditionally republican stronghold that has nothing to lose by holding a massive -in your face chicago- rally.
Is there going to be any live TV coverage of this event?
Probably not. This is not the MILLION MAN MARCH, that the blacks orchestrated several years ago, with eh vlessing of the MSM.

I am the soldier who froze at Valley Forge and crossed the Delaware to capture the Hessian army in mid winter.
I am the soldier who stood at the Battle of New Orleans
