Our first stop was a 5-10 minute presentation at George & Martha Washington’s resting place on the grounds.

Before the guide went into her program, she asked a young man if he’d care to come to the front and lead us in the pledge.

There were folks of many nationalities, ages who’d had their hand over heart and recited with the young man.

It may have been a small moment, but a moment I’m proud to have witnessed and been part of.

Moreso by the many people, from all walks of life, political and social classes help in squashing this Government ‘reform’ bill. The key now is to not let up or fall for ‘Lucy setting the football ‘this time’ for Charlie Brown to kick it’

‘Ol George said, ‘The power under the Constitution will always be in the people.’

We are a democracy. An individual can only accomplish anything in a democracy by banding together with others.

Next thing you know, the Democratic Party is going to move to strike freedom of assembly from the Bill of Rights.

Anyone else see the bus being unloaded at a PA town hall meeting yesterday with ACORN and SEIU members?

The GOP would love to rally their base as well as the amateurs, but they couldn’t organize their way out of a paper-bag.

Here’s a new meme. We shouldn’t shout at these townhall meetings. We should be respectful. BS! Show you’re angry. Make the Congresscritters fear for their jobs. It’s the ONLY thing they understand. There’s really no point in debating the details, because they don’t know the details. If it’s all nice and civil, they’ll go back to Never-Never-Land thinking they’d done their jobs and all went well. The people weren’t upset, so they must be behind this bill.

Not all meetings are angry ones. Those hosted by opponents of the bill go smoothly. These Congresscritters are having a great time, because people are turning out in droves supporting their resistance. They couldn’t ask for a better re-election campaign event. Their re-election is in the bag, and they know it.

Oppose this stinking bill! Do it loudly! Be angry!

In the past, I personally witnessed it, more than once, in DeKalb County, Georgia, at the behest of Ms. McKinney, so perhaps I just know it when I see it. But for those who haven’t had the pleasure of being on the receiving end of sweaty for-hire pseudo-laborers, lifting-belts straining over their pot bellies, the guys in Tampa were also wearing shirts identifying themselves.

I’ve only been to two ‘tea party’ events. The first one I went alone and knew nobody to go with. Spent the morning making my own signs to hold.

It was clear at both events, there were people just like me coming by themselves or with another family member. Finding their own way. Most small groups of people were neighbors or a group hastily put together to make sure those interested can get an event.

Most people are not part of any organization, but at this point are connecting to stay active and informed. They are sharing information.

Shaw knows the difference between the left’s BS and what is happening at town halls everywhere. He is being purposefully contrary because he is a typical elitist pr–k with nothing useful to contribute, just an opportunity to poke and jab. The article is crap.

What a puppet.
