The Tea Party Movement Goes to Capitol Hill

The place to organize for the March on DC

I just wanted to remind everyone that you can connect with other people in your state by joining our ning social networking site. JOIN NOW and find a bus to ride in on, or a caravan of cars coming from your area. Connect with others in your state and work together to spread the word!

The recent coverage by Glenn Beck is really helping our numbers grow! This ning site will ensure that new folks coming to this site have a way to get in touch with people who are already organizing trips to DC.

Keep up the great work out there, and we will see you in a few weeks!

  1. I would love for us to sing the Battle Hymn of the Republic sometime during the march. Do you think that would be possible?

    • I’d like to sing Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It”:

      oh we’re not gonna take it
      no, we ain’t gonna take it
      oh we’re not gonna take it anymore

      we’ve got the right to choose and
      there ain’t no way we’ll lose it
      this is our life, this is our song
      we’ll fight the powers that be just,
      don’t pick our destiny ’cause
      you don’t know us, you don’t belong

      oh we’re not gonna take it
      no, we ain’t gonna take it
      oh we’re not gonna take it anymore

      • I’ve been thinking the same thing. That’s the number one song I want to hear at the march! They played it on some VH1 special on the 80’s, while flashing footage of the Berlin Wall being torn down.

        • This song below is copy righted September 10, 2009

          You may forward this to your friends but no comercial use is allowed without written permission from me Charles V Turnbull II

          Hope to see you in Washington DC on September 12th

          We Will be Heard!

          Thanks

          The Kings and Queens by C.V. Turnbull

          Sung to the melody of We Three Kings

          The Kings and Queens of government are
          Spreading fear, both near and afar
          Their leftward leaning words have no meaning
          Just look to Obama’s Czar

          With loss of liberty, loss of Right
          Stolen away like a thief in the night
          Ignoring pleading, they’re still proceeding
          It’s time we put up a fight

          They lie to us and kill the unborn
          Pass Pork filled bills, for Tattoos and Porn
          Barack and Nancy… just seem so fancy
          Deserve noth-ing but our scorn

          The Kings and Queens of government will
          Cure all your ailments, with just a pill
          Force you to listen to life decision
          All this against your will

          They pat their backs and blow their own horn
          Been this way since their party was born
          They win their election, with great direction
          And fraud from their friend ACORN

          Control all the people, control all the might
          With backroom deals, till late in the night
          Deficit spending it’s never ending
          Our taxes are out of sight.

          The founding fathers roll in their graves
          Progressive leaders, make us their slaves
          We have no say, they do it their way
          And will destroy us, for making these waves

          Prop-aganda king, Michael Moore
          Is nothing but, a left wing whore
          He acts like its funny, collects liberals money
          But he’s really a lying BORE

          New taxes on energy, New Taxes on food
          President Obama says this will be good
          The people as stupid… Business is useless
          What did, they see, in this dude

      • Music is subjective, and I think “Grandmom” wouldn’t aprove. But how about Megadeth
        “Symphony of Destructon”
        You take a mortal man, and put him in control. Watch him become a god, watch peoples heads a’ roll.
        Just like the Pied Piper led rats through the streets,
        We dance like marionettes, Swaying to the Symphony of Destruction.
        Acting like a robot, It’s metal brain corrodes. You try to take its pulse, before the head explodes.
        The earth starts to rumble, World powers fall, A’ warring for the heavens, a peacful man stands tall.

        And Megadeth actually has a song called “Washington is Next” it’s off their 2007 albulm -
        “United Abominations” again it’s a bit noisy, but check out these lyrics-

        The quiet war has begun with silent weapons, And the newest slavery is to keep the people
        Poor and stupid. “Novus Ordo Seclorum”
        How can there be any logic in biological war? We all know this is wrong,
        But the New World Order’s beating down the door, Something needs to be done.

        There was a king, an evil king
        Who dreamt the wickedest of dreams
        An ancient mystery, no prophet could interpret
        Of seven years of famine, the wolf is at my door
        As predicted years ago, that that was, this is, that is no more
        The word predicts the future and tells the truth about the about the past
        Of how the world leaders will hail the new Pharaoh
        The eighth false king to the throne; Washinton is next!

        Disengage their minds, sabotage their health, Promote sex, and war, and violence in the kindergardens
        Blame their parents and teachers; it’s their fault “Annuit Coeptis”
        Attack the church dynamic, attack the family, Keep the public undisciplined till nothing left is sacred
        And the “have-nots: get hooked and have to go to the “haves” just to cop a fix.

        … I’ve got you in my crosshairs, now, ain’t that a bitch?
        Washington, your next!

        • I think you are my new God. Any guy who quotes Megadeth on a Tea Party/9.12 site is allright with me.

          • I keep thinking about Tom Petty…

            Well I wont back down, no I wont back down
            You can stand me up at the gates of hell
            And I’ll stand my ground, But I wont back down

      • Greg, I love it. Let’s follow up with an homage to Nancy (the Queen) Pelosi by the Sex Pistols:

        God save the queen
        The fascist regime
        They made you a moron
        Potential H-bomb

        God save the queen
        She ain’t no human being
        There is no future
        In England’s dreaming

        Don’t be told what you want
        Don’t be told what you need
        There’s no future, no future,
        No future for you

        God save the queen
        We mean it man
        We love our queen
        God saves

        God save the queen
        ‘Cause tourists are money
        And our figurehead
        Is not what she seems

        Oh God save history
        God save your mad parade
        Oh Lord God have mercy
        All crimes are paid

        When there’s no future
        How can there be sin
        We’re the flowers in the dustbin
        We’re the poison in your human machine
        We’re the future, your future

        God save the queen
        We mean it man
        We love our queen
        God saves

        God save the queen
        We mean it man
        And there is no future
        In England’s dreaming

        No future, no future,
        No future for you
        No future, no future,
        No future for me

        No future, no future,
        No future for you
        No future, no future
        For you

      • Right On !! I was lucky enouh to see tristed sister at this years rocklahoma in Ok. you should have seen the excitment from the crowd when they sang it everyone was singing it !!!!

    • I will be coming in 18th Century “garb” and will have my wooden fife and my tin flute. If I have the music in front of me I can play “Battle Hymn of the Republic”, “God Bless America” and “America” – the one that start “My Country Tis of Thee” I can also do a little of the theme from “Patton”.

    • Hey…you guys start it, sing what you feel, and we’ll join in with ya’ ! We’re there for one another, dude :)

    • I’m bumbed that Flo or Jesus Crisco didn’t wiegh in with a suggestions for an old communist party song or some little diddy about Jack O’Dell and Dianne Feinstein. How about Lennon’s “you say you want a revolution”?

  2. heard that vendors are not allowed to set up on mall to sell things like water, food, etc…think everyone should know….get the word out

    • Where did you hear this? They are usually all over the Mall. Is this just for the March?

      • Different areas of Washington are under the jurisdiction of different entities, and each has it’s own restrictions and permitting process. The National Mall is under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service. The area on either side surrounding the museums belongs to the Smithsonian Institution. The United States Capitol Police take care of permitting on the Capitol grounds. On most other streets you would be dealing with the District of Columbia government.

  3. Want healthcare reform now? Well, the private sector has a solution and needs everyone to get on board by 9/12.

    Here is the link: We The People Healthcare

    We need to spread this everywhere we can!

  4. Hello Fellow Patriots,
    I received this today (8-25-09) from one of the folks who is directly affiliated with the Freedomworks.org group. He said to feel free to share it. (Deborah)

    http://www.912marchondc.ning.com

    Here is the latest news and some rules.
    Feel free to distribute far and wide.
    I’ll have an update re: the March as soon as DCMetro gives FreedomWorks the permit.

    Rally Point:
    Freedom Plaza
    14th and Pennsylvania Ave NW
    Time: 0800

    March Route:
    TBA

    ROE for signs:
    NO metal poles
    NO pointed wooden poles.
    NO nazi symbols will be allowed. Anyone carrying a sign with a Nazi symbol will be asked to
    surrender the sign or leave the area.
    This includes images of Zero as Hitler. (Yes I know the left did it, but we are better than they
    are) The socialist images, however, will be encouraged. You know the ones I’m talking
    about.

    NO signs promoting violence or the like will be allowed. Same rule as above will apply.
    NO profanity on signs…same rule.
    (You can use words like damn and hell, but that’s as far as I’m willing to go; and absolutely
    NO G__Damn)

    Behavior during the rally:
    Obey all LEO’s without question or hesitation.
    Obey the directions of the security personnel and volunteers. They will be clearly identified.
    Volunteers will be in lime green, security has yet to be decided.
    Behave as if you were a guest in someone’s home.

    We will present a positive image to the media which hopefully will be presented to the folks
    across America who couldn’t make it.
    (Remember, my mother will be watching on TV unless I can convince her to come with us.)

    Interaction with potential counter-protesters, moonbats and assorted asshats/anarchists. (if
    they show-up)

    Maintain a safe zone.
    Use the buddy system.
    Have camcorders. VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE THEY WILL HAVE CAMCORDERS.
    They will try to bait you. Don’t over-react.

    DO NOT TOUCH any counter-protester or moonbat.
    If you must argue with a moonbat, do so in a calm, reasoned and informed manner.
    If you see a potential for trouble, find security or LEO and inform them.
    If there is not time to get security or LEO’s, be prepared to get arrested if you react to the
    disturbance and try to hande it on your own.

    We do expect you to protect yourself and those around you, however.

    Lastly, if you are not comfortable talking to media personnel, DON’T DO IT.
    Get someone who’s good at it. Have a second person record any interview the media
    conducts.
    Keep a log of the interview: date, time, people involved and media outlet.

    • Deborah–Since no metal poles are allowed–do you know, will the chairs in a bag be permitted since the legs are of metal?

    • “Behave as is you are a guest in someone’s home”.

      Are you kidding me? Is this a protest or a love-fest?

      No Nazi signs? Who is responsible for this censorship?

      We need more than just a protest march. We need a massive display of civil disobedience.

      Day after day after day…

      And if that doesn’t work, then we must be prepared to follow the example of our Founding Fathers.

      • With the number of people we are going to have, there will certainly be astroturf opposition. Fanning the flames they start will turn this into a riot which is not what any of us want. This should be a peaceful protest. In case you haven’t noticed, they already have people posting on this site to stir us up. Don’t fall for it! Keep a cool head for everyone’s sake.

        • the organizer of your protest has a history of starting trouble:

          “Brendan Steinhauser was the Washington, D.C. chapter leader of the right-wing protest group, Protest Warrior. He led the counter-protest against the anti-war movement’s mobilization on September 24, 2005. The group’s confrontational and provocative methods have caused incidents at numerous peace rallies. Steinhauser also led an “infiltration” of a peace rally in San Diego in March of 2005, and protests of Michael Moore in Crawford, Texas and San Diego, California. He brags about making short films of his provocative “infiltrations” and distributes them to other activists. ”

          from SourceWatch

          • They way they have these people riled up, you know there are bound to be some incidents.

            They’ll just say that the police started it and they don’t have any freedom of speech and the man is bringing them down. They have become the new liberals.

          • Don’t believe this infiltrating Obama-crony-paid lib “Florence”. View it for yourself: Patriot Warrior website. Very clever. Years ago, this conservative would show up at the lib protest rallies with these outlandish posters that “looked” like they contained lib content. However when you read the fine print, it said just the opposite!!! He even was able to get his posters shown in the background of some MSM media clips. Talk about giving the libs a black eye!!! It was hilarious (Remember libs have no sense of humor). My favorite: War has never solved anything except for ending slavery, fascism, nazism, and communism

            So for those patriots who have a tasteful sense of humor: make Ronnie Reagan proud. (Remember “Go ahead, make my day!” and “there you go again!”) It is the unusual, the humorous, and the clever posters that are going to make great YouTube clips!

          • Any opponent of Michael Moore is a friend of mine. That makes him qualified.

      • I’m with you! I think it will be the only way we can take America back. I was FORCED to be a member of the SEIU for 12+ years and it is so crooked the crooked man would not be able to follow it. Those in charge are there for their own benefits and agendas!

        The police BETTER keep them in check because I am not going to take any crap from lazies who are on welfare and want more free stuff at my expense. I’M TIRED OF IT!

    • I would like to add: Don’t Litter! This is our Capitol, lets not add to the usual filth Congress spews. Pick up after yourselves.

      • That is what made Dan’s bake sale (Fort Collins, CO 1993) the model of all conservative rallies. There was little to no trash left behind at an event that included some 50,000 – 65,000 – 80,000 people! Let’s show by example!

      • I agree, PLEASE DON’T LITTER! Also, I was going to take my kids. I have never been to a protest. Should I be concerned about there saftey?

        • Michele, NO, don’t be concerned. I took my kids to a counter-protest. They loved it. These protests and counter-protests are peaceful. One in ‘07, had about 5-10 thousand moonbats to our 2,000 patriots. It was a blast. Some yelling and mocking but that’s what makes it great. Don’t be concerned for your safety.

          The left has a few factions of young idiots calling themselves anarchists, like Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and Black Block, these marys that wear rags over their face so they don’t get in trouble when their mothers see them on TV. They’re kids and they’re all priveliged automatons, and trust me when I tell you that they’re not tough. One look into their eyes and they sh*t themselves. The good news, they’ll never have kids as they’re too tortured to love anything but Karl Mark and Che, and they’re dead.

          I’m also not too appreciative of the above signage rules. Doesn’t it go against exactly what we’re tired of?

          • Don’t be concerned for my safety! What planet are you from? I had a will drawn up because I do not believe the SEIU is going to let us come back alive. They will infect us with the swine flu or something. They are pure evil. My cousin used to be an officer until it got so bad she had to leave. Now she runs everyday for her life because they are after her constantly. Get real people. We are dealing with the devil here.

          • Agapantha! Please seek out reporters at the march and tell them your story! We need the world to know who we are dealing with.

        • Michelle, I have taken my 4 children to lots of protests & rallies, including DC. You and they will be safe. This is not the problem. BUT, make sure you have a plan on how you will deal with a lost child. You and the child need to know what to do and not panic.
          It is important that your child understand that it is THEIR JOB to keep track of you, not the reverse!
          I have also found that kids are very useful and resourceful at large events! They obtain food, find bathrooms, locate friends. Mine ran errands and earned money even! They also hawked albums for the musical entertainment.

          The youngest child I brought was about 7-8, so if yours are younger you will have to decide if you think the child will get anything out of it. However, in retrospect, there will be an awful lot of grandmothers there!

          Sigh, I miss them. I was the leader of the pack! THEY got old.

  5. Does anyone know how many people are expected?

    • Absolutely NOT!!! This is the BIG mystery. We are not a countable entity. But I would not miss this for the world! We are the front lines in our attempt to save this country!

      • I’m with you Anna my girlfriend is coming with me as my husband can not I am fighting for me and mostly for my children s future
        I would not miss this for anything !!! IT IS MY DUTY!!!!

  6. I would truly love to go, and would be there in full force, but my schedule says no.

    I’m from South Dakota, and would love to hear from fellow South Dakotans who are going.

  7. Does anyone know where there will be parking? If we park and then take public transportation, what are some alternative sites to use? Thanks.

    • You could attempt to drive right up to the event – and then the police will tell you where to go! I’ve sort of actually done that. But as an alternative, maybe someone will call the DC Police today and post their answer here.
      It’s not like a protest in DC has never happened before. Make sure you wear good walking shoes.

    • Mapquest/Google Pentagon Row. Plenty of parking, close to Pentagon City Metro.

  8. Don’t use public transport. It’s subsidized by taxpayer money.

    Take a cab. Oh don’t park on any public streets (taxpayer money). Make a statement and use a paid lot.

    Don’t drive on teh streets as often as possible. Use dirt roads.

    Oh don’t use a safety belt, turn off the airbag and dismantle anything in your car that helps to produce clean air and better fuel economy. Taxpayer money and the liberal agenda went into those things.

    Don’t call the police or fire department if something happens to you. Taxpayer money.

    • Olberman wannabe I guess?

      • So, am I wrong or are you are fine with paying taxes that will go into things needed by other people? Things you may never use. Things that help (or intend to help) keep this country educated, efficient, effective, healthy, safe and productive.

        • I give my share and more for over 32 years,and still giving! Where does it end? It doesn’t with this spending crowd we are stuck with (for now). Tax cuts to businesses and individuals who pay taxes will bring the economy back…not more taxes. It’s been proven. I’ve had enough…silent no longer.

          • I’m sure you have and that is to be commended.

            I wonder how you explain the reasoning for all of these socialist countries being completely out of the global recession already while the US is still struggling to.

            The answer? A bigger social safety net.

            Guess what? Capitalism exists quite well along with socialist policies in many countries.

            I wonder why they aren’t all protesting about their freedoms being taken away.

        • Gosh, it doesn’t sound like Venesuela’s out of the crapper yet:

          August 20, 2009 By The Associated Press FABIOLA SANCHEZ (Associated Press Writer)

          CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuela’s economy shrank 2.4 percent in the second quarter — its first contraction in five years — as oil prices fell and imports were restricted due to the world economic crisis, the Central Bank said Thursday.

        • Oh, and about no protestors?

          Sept. 4 (Bloomberg) — Opponents of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez staged marches against the socialist leader today in cities around the region, including a demonstration in Honduras led by acting President Roberto Micheletti.

        • Yes. you are and yes, I am. Just DON’T MESS WITH MY FREEDOMS!

    • I thought we paid a fare to use public transport? Was the Metrocard machine really a slot machine? Police, fire & rescue, roads and bridges are the kind of things taxes were for…right?

      • he said that the metro is subsidized by tax payer money. You do know what that means right?

        I’m quite alright with it myself, but are you?

        Taxes are there to make sure that they can establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense and promote the general welfare.

    • We must be doing something right for the left to post full-time people (i.e. Florence, Jesus Crisco) to hassle us. Have you seen the number of entries they’ve made? The left must have them on 16 hours on / 8 hours off sweat shifts. Come to our side Flo and Crisco, you may have to work for a living, but we won’t take advantage of you like your current marxist handlers.

    • I WILL use the mtero if I want since my tax dollars pay for it, I should have some benefit out of it. Do not make my choices for me. I am a big girl and can make my own. If it is wrong, that is on my conscience and no one else’s.

  9. What do you mean no 0 hitler signs this is what were marching for right? we do not want to live in a communist country. this is blocking freedom of speech. I say bring all your opinions and dont bow down to any one trying to control your freedom of speech. we are angry why hide it like the politically correct do? lets be true AMERICANS….

    • I would guess that they don’t want the Hitler nutjobs to distract from their message because then noone will take them seriously.

      I personally think you should bring hitler signs for everyone. It’s your right to be a complete nutter.

      Nutters have opinions too. Just look at Glenn Beck, he even get’s his own show. You don’t have to be smart or intelligent to be successful.

      • Thank you Jesus, you just proved your own point. You don’t have to be intelligent to get noticed. Are all your liberal friends Un-intelligent too, like you? Hurray for Glenn Beck, go O’Reiley

  10. JC- Show me some proof that these “other” countries are out of the global recession. I don’t see it, and bigger government will not be the answer here…quite the opposite will need to happen.

    As far as them complaining about losing their freedom….I’m sure many of our finest died fighting for those freedoms they enjoy. You need to fight for it before you appreciate it and recognize when you are losing it.

    • Look it up at your own most trusted news source… (see? that’s quite fair, isn’t it? I’m not pushing any liberal sites on you.)

      France, Germany and Japan have recovered from the recession. There is a multitude of information on this. Not justr recovering but Recovered.

      Their social safety net meant that people had money to keep the economy going. This is a good thing. Few businesses went under..

      When I look around my town, I’ve never seen so much empty retail space in my life.

      • We will agree to Disagree…at this time, OK? After 2010 and the changes that are coming, I feel pretty sure you will come over from the dark side.

        Have a good evening and enjoy Olberman.

        • Nah I hate listenign to political pundits. They are all pompus asses. I don’t watch television news either. You get a better understanding of the news if you read it from several sources. Gives yo a better overview when you have more input.

          I am quite fine with agreeing to disagree, but I’m not sure if you are disagreeing with me that France, Germany and Japan are out of recession or not. I don’t think that’s something that can be disputed.

          Enjoy Glenn Beck, Michelle Malkin, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity

          • Jesus, You are the poster child for the Liberal battle strategy of “make the enemy feel guilty for being who they are”. I am proud of my taxpayer status and the fact that I helped you to enjoy some of the benefits of a free society with my tax dollars. I do resent my good tax dollars being wasted on “Don Quixote” type projects that will never help anyone except liberals to free the liberals of their guilty consciences. This money could have been used to feed the starving, the homeless, and the sick, but instead it is being used to build a thousand “bridges to nowhere” in the name of “STIMULUS”.

      • Jesus Crisco –

        Japan went into a decade of no growth when they tried the same thing we are doing now. Many believe we are heading for a jobless recovery. You’ll also remember that the Europeans refused to follow Obama’s lead in a huge stimulus package. Besides, the French call a national strike everytime they get fed up with their wonderful system — riot in the streets, set cars on fire. Yep, Europe is a great example.

        As for the Hitler signs, I agree with leaving them at home. I think Mussolinni would probably be more appropriate. After all, Hitler just confuses the idea. True, he was fascist. But that fact is obfuscated by the Holocaust. All the Progressives in the 30s thought Mussolini was great! He was their poster-boy for fascism. But that would probably be too subtle for our Liberal friends. Better to just confine our signs to something they can understand. We can make great points just the same. I’ve seen them at the Tea Parties. Lots of creativity. See you all there.

        • I’m not so sure Mussolini is a good example either since he followed Hitler thinking he was going to become rich and powerful. Oops, that sounds a lot like my Senators. Boxer and Feinstein. Aren’t I lucky! I have voted against every incumbent since LBJ and look what success I have had. Face it. We are at the mercy of illegals who want a free ride and welfare recipients who want a free ride. Gee, SEIU all over again.

          Unions used to be good but now they are Al Capone again just with different names and faces.

          Anyway, my great grandfather left Italy to escape Mussolini’s reign of terror; only he did it legally and was a great proponent of America everyday that he lived. He tearfully stumbled through the Pledge of Allegiance-IN ENGLISH- every single morning when we put the flag up. I remember my mother and her mother mending that flag until he died and then it was buried with him. I will NOT go down. I will NOT go down. I repeat NOT without a fight-fair or not. And so far it is anything but fair.

          Who is Glenn Beck?

      • Neither France nor Germany hae recovered one little bit. I’ve never been to Japan so I won’t comment on that one. That’s why people want to come here legally or illegally – to get the ‘free’ ride. You need to read and become educated, Jesus.

  11. These all sound great! I have to admit though, I’m with Steve. From the Halls of Mt Zuma to the shores of Tripoly. We will fight our countries battles from land or air or sea!!! ….and to keep our nation free!!! Yep, gotta go with this one. My father woke us up each and every Saturday morning…all nine of his children, to clean the house with all the marching band hymns!! My apologies for my spelling. :)

  12. Jesus…clearly you have been drinking too much liberal Kool aid and have a problem discerning the truth because this Administration has no moral compass and cannot tell the truth…..all to push a facist ideology designed to take away your freedoms and ensure they will be in power for generations….With regard to France, Germany, and Switzerland for that matter they are pulling out of the recession faster because they have constrained spending and have cut residential and private sector income tax rates…..do your homework before you throw out such questions. In fact these countries including Japan , China, and Russia are begging us to constrain spending because it weakens our economy, devalues our dollar, and threatens the billions in treasury debt that we owe to these very countries.

  13. here you go:

    National Day of Service and Remembrance

    Please take a moment now to post your personal plan to perform a good deed, volunteer or engage in another charitable activity in observance of the newly established September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance. Help create a wonderful legacy that honors the victims and those who rose to service in response to the attacks on America.

    http://911dayofservice.org/

    guess cheney forgot to tell bush it was his job to set up a national day of remembrance.

    • As a Liberal yourself, I hope you don’t mean the terrorists when you say “victims”. I don’t think a 9/11 goes by that all America doesn’t remember the tragedy. Bush did his part by striking back at the terrorists who planned the attack. Obama wants to drop the term “terrorist” to use something more “politically correct”. Is that how you want the victims to be remembered?

  14. Hi:
    For all those people that can’t attend the TEA – MARCH on Washington how about letting it be known that your organization wants people from ALL over AMERICA to sign an on-line petition that your group can present to the appropriate people, so they GET THE MESSAGE OF HOW THE PEOPLE FEEL!!!

    Don

  15. a suggestion:

    please add hand sanitizer to your survival kits. wouldn’t want you contracting swine flu and then spreading it all over the country as you return home. should you become ill, be sure to cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze, and then sanitize.

  16. I hope no one is waiting for 9/11 to contribute to their communities. Having a government endorsed day of service reminds me too much of the Soviet Union. When I lived there we had a Sabotnik – the official day of service where we had the opportunity to “volunteer” to clean streets, parks, harvest the food, etc. The patriots I know do not need a government sponsored day to contribute and volunteer in their communities. The patriots I know help homeless veterans, serve at the Food Bank, serve at the homeless shelter year, volunteer in schools year round.

    I looked at the links for some of the speakers I had not heard of before and I think they have done a good job selecting speakers. I watched a few YOUTUBE links and the speakers were articulate with good content. Also, the closer it gets, I hear a lot more of my acquaintences planning to come.

  17. I personally contribute monthly, as well, in many ways.

    I don’t see what is wrong with encouraging people to participate though.

    It must be because Obama had somethign to do with it, right?

    There has GOT to be some nefarious purpose to Obama adding “rememberance” to Bushes “National Day of Service”

  18. Jesus, You are the poster child for the Liberal battle strategy of “make the enemy feel guilty for being who they are”. I am proud of my taxpayer status and the fact that I helped you to enjoy some of the benefits of a free society with my tax dollars. I do resent my good tax dollars being wasted on “Don Quixote” type projects that will never help anyone except liberals to free the liberals of their guilty consciences. This money could have been used to feed the starving, the homeless, and the sick, but instead it is being used to build a thousand “bridges to nowhere” in the name of “STIMULUS”.

  19. Suck it Jesus.

  20. That wasn’t me! I swear. Some fag is using my name and pretending to be me to make me look bad. Stay vigilant patriots.

  21. To Jesus and others: If you want to know why we’re not coming out of the recession faster, you only have to look at the top. Its Obama’s economy now, and no amount of saying “I inherited this mess”, will excuse him. I think without the so-called “stimulus”, we would already be ahead of those other countries, and in much better financial shape now, and for generations to come. I suggest you go to those other countries and enjoy their fruits since you are much more patriotic and sympathetic to their causes.

  22. Remember the Million Man March? No restrictions on that giant celebration held in Washington, DC. Among the name callers we are “the mob, “white trash racists” UnAmerican,” Nazis.” In fact, the culprits who are voted in by us, can just as easily be voted out.

    Nancy Pelosi must be relieved of her duty, Obama impeached, no more titles like Czars, kneeling down and kissing the Muslin leaders, no more fancy thoughts and promises.

    I am a combat disabled veteran; been to Afghanistan and watched Obama during a visit to the troops. His visit was in the basketball court, showing off his “3 pointers.”

    Get this egotistical maniac socialist, “community organizer,” Muslim supportor and racist on a slow bus to Chicago, WAKE UP AMERICA! LLL

  23. TO Michele,

    Michele, NO, don’t be concerned. I took my kids to a counter-protest. They loved it. These protests and counter-protests are peaceful. One in ‘07, had about 5-10 thousand moonbats to our 2,000 patriots. It was a blast. Some yelling and mocking but that’s what makes it great. Don’t be concerned for your safety.

    The left has a few factions of young idiots calling themselves anarchists, like Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and Black Block, these marys that wear rags over their face so they don’t get in trouble when their mothers see them on TV. They’re kids and they’re all priveliged automatons, and trust me when I tell you that they’re not tough. One look into their eyes and they sh*t themselves. The good news, they’ll never have kids as they’re too tortured to love anything but Karl Mark and Che, and they’re dead.

  24. Well, I’ve decided to come to your rally. Woo hoo. You’ll be able to identify me by the bushes under my armpits petruding from my short sleeves. I’ll look like I have 2 Don Kings in head locks. Go America, F Yeah!

  25. Just letting others know we in Myrtle Beach are joining the Charleston Tea Party Patriots for the trip to Washington for the 9/12 event. If anyone one from Myrtle Beach is interested in going , please come to our website for more infomation.
    http://www.commonsense2020.com

    BTW Mark Bennett will be joining us for the trip. He is one of the best speakers we have ever had at a tea party. Spoke at both Charleston and Myrtle Beach Tea Party events.

    The croud went crazy when he spoke. So we are excited to have him on our bus ride up to Washington.

  26. Everyone going to the 9/12 Agenda should write letters with questions and comments and mail them at a mailbox in D.C. With so many going, the mailboxes wouldn’t hold all of them.

  27. Wish I could be with you all on the March in D.C.

    I will be there in spirit and praying for a huge turnout.

    God Bless

    Diana

  28. LETS STEAL A PHRASE FROM VERIZON AS WE MARCH:

    “CAN YOU HEAR US NOW?!!!!!”

  29. is this date solid? have seen another for Sept 13, what’s going on? 12th or 13th?

  30. Sheila

    Solid as a rock!!

    I’ve heard there will be a counter protest on the 13th..don’t know any details..don’t really care.

  31. http://www.care2.com/news/member/338686546/1225469

    this news item from Aug 19 talks about the conservatives tea party on the 12th, and Robert Reich talks about a counter march on the 13, I don’t understand why this march demanding better health care is considered counter, was it just a bad choice of words? I thought all of these marches were FOR the people sick of being taxed to death with no choice in the matter, and no happy end in sight, can you give me a little insight? I read too fast sometimes and miss important things, it may just be me.
    :)
    otherwise, I am looking forward to being there, we want to hit DC on the 12th!

    • Yes..I think it was a bad choice of words. If anything has developed I am sure they will be counter protesting. I think they want Obama care with a twist…and they want it now!!!!!!

      Don’t be confused…stay focused. We will make history on 9/12. See you in DC!!!

  32. My husband and I are coming from New Mexico Will arrive on 9/11. Can anyone suggest a good hotel in a safe part of the city. Would sure appreciate it, It’s our first time in DC

    • Check out the Courtyard by Marriott in Alexandria, VA. Close to metro station and they had a $89/night AAA rate and free parking. If you aren’t driving and don’t need free parking you probably can get a hotel closer to DC, but if you have a car a lot of hotels charge a lot for parking. If you go to the travel logistics link, I think they have several hotels listed.

  33. Anyone going from the South Houston, TX area?

  34. that link took me right to a comment denouncing the people who are fed up, that was the first thing I saw. racist comments on both sides, something we can’t stop, I won’t even try to understand anyone’s hatred of any living thing. but, certain statements from the Pres own mouth, going into the schools- sorry, I will teach my children who to worship- stating that we need that strong civilian army in the US, those are points we can’t blame on anyone but the speaker.
    we are most all in America collectively screwed, as things stand today, this is why we have to rise up.

  35. suggested on a radio station yesterday that the so many people who can’t make the rally should organize peacefully in their own towns, doesn’t everyone have a town hall? show support, solidarity.

  36. Now this is the song for a movement!

    Someone on youtube dedicated this to Obama. Well I’m rededicating it to “The Freedom Movement”

  37. Beck said, “this is horrible to say, and I wonder if I’m alone in this — you know it took me about a year to start hating the 9-11 victims’ families? Took me about a year. And I had such compassion for them, and I really wanted to help them, and I was behind, you know, “Let’s give them money, let’s get this started.” All of this stuff. And I really didn’t — of the 3,000 victims’ families, I don’t hate all of them. Probably about 10 of them. And when I see a 9-11 victim family on television, or whatever, I’m just like, “Oh shut up!” I’m so sick of them because they’re always complaining.”

    http://popwatch.ew.com/2009/04/01/stephen-colbert/

    Watch out! You may be next!

  38. Beck makes a lot of statements that some of us will never like, but this isn’t about any one man, it’s about all of us in this country who are not being heard, we have to join forces and demand that our money not be mis-spent, we are losing homes while the companies bailed get away with this crime against us, and a crime it is to STEAL my dollars and give them where ever. we have no say in where our taxes go anymore, come together on this people, are we for our rights or not? if not, then you are for this abusive gov’t. control, I for one am sick of it.
    this isn’t just about health care and race, this is about us.

  39. you can list pros and cons from both sides, and childish name calling (nutbags? because someone doesn’t believe as you?) is part of this ongoing conversation, scroll back, and where does that get you? still nowhere. so what is your solution, man who cares more than the rest of us? what do you propose? rather than damn the people who will take it to the streets, because we certainly are not heard as well over the net, tell us the solution. I am not listening to any one man, and that is why I am here, and will be there. your opinion is not the only one that matters, but that is how you come across. a vicious tongue reaches no one.
    you’ve done nothing but spew yourself.

    Share Print CommentsWASHINGTON — A former top official for Voice of America was indicted Friday on corruption charges, accused of taking thousands of dollars in concert and sports tickets in exchange for favors to disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

    Horace Cooper, who is also a one-time aide to former Republican House Majority Leader Dick Armey, is accused of defrauding the government after getting choice seats to see ‘N Sync, the Dixie Chicks, and Bruce Springsteen, among others.

    The indictment charges Cooper agreed to use his position at Voice of America – and his subsequent job at the Labor Department – to advance the interests of Abramoff and his clients.

    Abramoff was sentenced in September 2008 to four years in prison on charges of mail fraud, conspiracy and tax evasion. Since pleading guilty in 2006, the once-powerful lobbyist has cooperated with the federal investigation of influence-peddling in Washington.

    The long-running corruption probe has led to the convictions of one former congressman – Republican Bob Ney of Ohio – and 16 others, including lobbyists, Bush administration officials, congressional staffers and businessmen.

    Prosecutors say that between 2002 and 2004, Cooper received thousands of dollars worth of free meals or drinks at Abramoff’s restaurant, as well as a free Super Bowl party for him and about 25 friends.

    The five-count indictment charges Cooper also took thousands of dollars worth of free entertainment, including tickets to professional baseball, hockey, basketball, and tennis events, as well as concert tickets.

    Officials say Cooper did not report the gifts on government paperwork.

    Cooper’s lawyer, Solomon Wisenberg, denied the charges.

    “We are very disappointed that the Department of Justice has decided to go forward with these charges,” the lawyer said. “Horace Cooper is innocent and we look forward to our day in court.”

    Cooper, 44, worked as chief of staff at Voice of America in 2002, before taking the same position at the Department of Labor’s Employment Standards Administration, where he worked until 2005.

    In both positions, prosecutors charge, he used his official position to advance the private interests of the lobbyist Abramoff and his clients.

    The indictment charges Cooper agreed to help Abramoff secure VOA funding for the lobbyist’s newly formed television production business, and assist an Abramoff client, a Mariana Islands garment manufacturer, with an investigation they were facing by the U.S. Department of Labor.

    He is due in court next month on charges of fraudulent concealment, false statements, and one count of obstruction of an official proceeding. He faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted of the most serious charge

  41. “Lowdown, the country I was brought up in fell apart and died”….Chicago III

  42. Please hear me Glenn, I am 57years old with a wife and two grown children. I have pretty much had my head down for many years working my rut to raise my family. But now that I have done that and I now have a little time to lift my head and look around it seems everything I love about America is on the way out. I won’t have it!

    All the questions that you have been asking Washington for weeks now have gone unanswered. I believe they will never be answered unless we force Obamas hand. I have heard a great deal about the actual march on D.C. but not so much about what we hope to accomplish. Sure I know its about liberty, freedom, the constitution and I am sure we will hear a lot of great speeches. But at the end of the day it ends there, we will have accomplished very little. No, we have this chance and maybe ONLY this chance to stand. I truly believe the coming march on D.C. should focus on getting ANSWERS to those questions! We need to send a single certified letter directly to Barack Obama to let him know the reason we are coming to Washington is to get those answers and we are not returning home until we get ‘em. Regardless if it takes days, weeks, months. If we can’t get answers now, we will never get them. And I truly believe this will be the beginning of the end for freedom in this country. We will have been out maneuvered.

    How does a march this large stay focused on the job at hand? Who will stand that day to represent all that have come from so far and begin the call for answers? There is too much to lose. We need answers now! Please mention it on all your broadcasts, starting today, that the MAIN reason for this march is to get these questions answered! The people of this grand republic deserve to know now “WHO” is really in the White House.

    Thanks Glenn, you are truly a great patriot.
