More photos of the DC "Kill the Bill" rally!
Self | 3.21.10 | ohioWfan

Posted on 03/21/2010 12:12:57 PM PDT by ohioWfan

On Thursday evening my husband and I made the decision to drive to Washington D.C. to be part of the "Kill the Bill" protest on the Capitol lawn.

We had been a part of the 9-12 DC Tea Party, having been part of the Tea Party movement since it's beginning, and have a vested interest in making sure this monstrosity doesn't pass (it is pending as I type this).

We drove to DC Friday evening and drove back Saturday, not able to stay for the entire event because of church responsibilities Sunday morning, but we were thrilled to be a part of this huge gathering of American citizens, and I hope these photos give a feel for what we were about, and how powerful a voice "We the People" have.

As the protest developed and our loud voice was heard, we were told by Michelle Bachmann and others in Congress that our being there indeed was having an effect on what was going on inside the Capitol building in front of us. (The Slaughter of the Constitution went down while we were there).

We broke up to go into the Congressional office buildings and "visited" the wavering Congressmen (we spent most of our time at John Boccieri's office).

If the bill passes, you can be assured that our fight is not over. We must win this battle, and if they succeed in passing this destructive, unconstitutional bill, we will fight to have it overturned.

These are a few of my photos of the event. May God bless and have mercy on America!

Thank you, Republic!

They said there were 800 people there from California!

Can you imagine if we had known about it before Thursday what the crowd would be like??

Yes. I agree. I think the protesters made ALL THE DIFFERENCE, in fact.

I everyone caught the mad hatter Uncle Sam hat that had a ticket in it saying "Can't Blame Bush" .

I mean.......ROFLMAO!!!

Gotta LOVE American ingenuity.

Those signs should be complied into a book...and SENT DIRECTLY to the RNC leadership. For withing the writing and pictures on those thousands of signs were the stones of a true conservative foundation.

Shepard Smith on Fox has been making snide statements all along about the protest, just grilled Ohio Republican on why he won't support the bill

The guy is stone down for Dims

He's also been pedaling the "n-word" and "homophobic" slurs BS

The clown is really showing his true colors today

It was hard to hear where we were on the wall but we did get to shake Mike and Michele's hand so it was worth it.

Thank you for the awesome photos, ohiWfan! The original signs are just awesome; the originality is just amazing. See you haven’t lost your touch. Thank you for driving all the way from Ohio to represent all of us who couldn’t be there. A conglomeration of thugs has taken over our beloved country. If I wanted to live in Communist China I would have moved there. These photos deserve a ping to all the Snowflakes!

That's just terrific!

We could hear them well, but.....well, you can see how far away my photos were.

Thanks for the great additions to this thread!

The lives of countless unborn babies and the elderly hang in the balance, yet he acts like a smirking comedian. We need a man or woman with heart reporting on this, not some supercilious jackass.
