THIS IS YOUR FORMAL INVITATION!
BE THERE!
JOIN MICHELLE BACHMAN ON THE CAPITOL STEPS IN WASHINGTON, D.C. TO STOP OBAMACARE
ON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5TH AT HIGH NOON!

From Harry Riley of Patriots For America:

Patriots,

Rep Michele Bachmann, R-MN has just announced a “storm the capitol” next Thursday, November 5th at 12:00 Noon.

This appears to be in conjunction with Vets For Freedom action that is occurring the same day…….see PFA homepage.

Any and everyone that can make it to the US Capitol, Washington, DC to meet Rep Bachmann on the Capitol steps at 12:00 noon is desperately needed.

The goal is have hundreds or thousands show up and walk with Rep Bachman through the US Capitol advising Representatives to reject the House of Representatives Healthcare Bill………

If the HealthCare Bill Pelosi announced on Wednesday is passed, Rep Bachmann said, “it will be the crown jewel of socialism” in America…….everyone will be forced into a single payer, government run healthcare program…….

I am personally urging, pleading, for everyone to give this request the most serious consideration….if you can possibly be in DC and meet Rep Bachmann on the US Capitol steps at 12:00 Noon, please, please do it…..

brilliant plan.
short notice demonstration planned right in the middle of the working day in a city that parking is not available. Thats the problem with getting conservatives to attend these things, they work.
Downside is that the rest of congress will look at a low turnout and attribute it to no interest in the outcome of the bill. They will use it as another reason to vote for it.

I hope she gets a strong turnout, but somehow I doubt this will work as well as she expects.

The planning isnt the best, but no one knew when this Pelosi would give birth to this deformed monster of a Health care Bill. We all hoped it would get aborted, but Nancy decided to have this Rosemary's Baby.

That is a great point and it is a critical point. A good response to that problem would be that we find candidates we support and support them. We have jobs. Send them a few bucks a month or a quarter. Money is speech, too.

Isn't it worth $100 a quarter to support someone who may save you $1,000's a year in tax increases?

Fact is, the left will always have more 'street' support but that doesn't mean the support is deep or meaningful.

Ever since "read my lips", no one buys that argument anymore.

Once the dust settles and it's clearly a horse race between exactly two candidates, voting for someone who hasn't got the slightest chance of winning is worse than putting all of your money on the long shot in a horse race. All you'll get out of it is being able to declare you didn't vote for the guy who won, and you can do THAT without even showing up.

Solid case for cynicism there, Sam.

You know, I might live long enough to see a Harold Stassen win the White House, but I don't plan to bet a single dime on it.

Once the primaries are over, and the major parties have selected their candidate, and the third parties have fielded theirs, the die is cast. And in our lifetime, the lifetimes of our parents and grandparents, the result is the same - it's going to be a Republican or a Democrat. Period.

Support who you like through the primaries. You can support a Ron Paul all the way up to August, but once the major parties have made their choice, it's well known who the voters are supporting. It WILL be one of the two. If you're willing to bet against that, I'll be glad to just take your money now.

Isn't a cynic just an optimist who's smashed his noggin into the brick wall of reality once too often?

It's also a very poor choice of title. "Storm the Capitol" sounds very militant/violent. :boo:

Yes it is.
And just as soon as that person shows up, Ill be more than happy to send that money in.

Got to see them work first though, imagine how one would feel had they sent money to Hoyer?

They feel great , they still believe Steny saved the Base for them.

As long as they think Steny saved the base for them , he can screw them out of every dime they have. Steny is a one-trick horse, but it's the one that has kept him there for 29 years.

It would be fun though, pitchforks and lighted torches. The vengeful mob coming for the profligate congress critters. Leave 'em strung up like Mussolini as a warning to the next batch of replacements.

And plenty of viewing room to watch Pelosi get waterboarded at the national mall! :whistle:

I have to say, I agree. As much as I would love to show up & support Michelle Bachmann, I can't attend this event. This time of year at work - I'd get fired if I took off for a reason other than a severe illness. I have to support my kids, so I can't attend.

Blame the short notice on Pelosi. She doesn't tell anybody anything until the last minute so she can avoid these rallies.....

Yes: You are correct. It's really hard to get anything started when it's at the last minute like this, and of course that plays into Pelosi's hands.

The worst part might be that Pelosi, et al, would respond by calling them "organized" and "fanatics". :yikes:

But it seems to have worked for ACORN, so...

Well, Glenn Beck mentioned this on his show yesterday and said that he got a lot of feedback from people who said they are going. So, it should be interesting to see how much support it gets.

What is funny is that when Nancy made her big presentation of this bill only those who were invited could stand on those same steps.

I am anxious to see if she tries to keep us off them this time.

If Michele Bachman and Glenn Beck tell me to be there then that's what I'll do. These folks know what's best. And they're terrific at organizing events. But what do I do if Sean Hannity says not to go? Or Rush? Geez, then I got a real dilemma.

If that happens, I suggest you go to the White House and commit harakiri. :yay:
