Really? How. I'm serious, how? How does changing how health insurance is collected and paid affect freedom? How does any of this have anything at all to do with the Constitution? Again, I'm serious, can anyone on the right over a coherent explanation? This is about freedom!!! Really? How. I'm serious, how?

The entire lawn, all across from the Capitol Steps as far back as the Reflection pool, was packed with people who came at their own expense to protest the bill. Somewhere around 3:00 Thursday, after all the speeches, crowds of people walked over to the 3 office buildings & waited in lines for more than an hour to get in to the offices of their representatives to ask them not to vote for the bill. I saw no angry mobs and no disrespectful people, just people who were genuinely concerned that if passed, this bill will cost Americans loss of Freedom like they have never known before and they came to speak to their representatives, asking them not to vote for the bill. At MIDNIGHT Saturday, Democrats and 1 Republican voted to pass the bill in the House 220 - 215. We must remain focused and Never give up this fight. Remember the names of every person who who voted in favor of this bill and VOTE them out of office in 2010! They don't deserve to represent us!

Its very heart warming to read these posts! My eyes well up with tears because I finally know from what I am reading here and from the passion I have seen in the eyes and faces of growing numbers of tea partyers all across our nation, that contrary to what the liberal media reports, patriotism in America is alive and well! and we are healthy! and we are indeed strong and speaking up! and we are defending what we cherish so much!....

The Black Caucus believes that abortion works just fine as a birth control, and the "Hispanic" Caucus says "No it don't" Coupled with the threats of losing their jobs, there is now a very good chance of Obama losing this one!

Coupled with the threats of losing their jobs, there is now a very good chance of Obama losing this one!

Makes me proud!

I was there and I judge it by comparing it to a 100,000 capacity football stadium. I spoke personally to my Democrat United States Representive after the rally and he was defiant, saying he couldn't disagree with me more on all the important issues. He was right down the line supporting the "health care", Cap and Trade, government takeover of companies and all the other things that are Soviet and Marxist inspired. No regard for all of the freedoms that millions of Americans have died for on the battlefield. I suppose it really doesn't matter, but the crowd was close to 100,000.

We left Eden Prairie MN 10:30 am Wed, and returned 6:00 pm tonight(Friday). Was dreading the bus ride w/"strangers", and now am grateful for the bond I share w/40 special patriots. So many shared personal stories! The press conference was energizing. Visited Collin Peterson's office and was told he plans to vote "NO". We need to stay vigilant and spread the word to keep the pressure on--(CALL YOUR REPS AND SENATORS). Socialized healthcare, Cap and Trade, freedom of the press--this will be a marathon, but thank God for the initial, exhilarating 50 yard dash we were blessed to experience over the past 60 hours! Thank you Representative Bachmann and Deanna! I was on Bus 1 from MN (sitting behind Al). We left Eden Prairie MN 10:30 am Wed, and returned 6:00 pm tonight(Friday).

The Veterans administration provides government health care to men and women who served in the usa armed forces. State Medicaid programs are all government health care. In fact if you ever need to go live in a nursing home the only medical coverage you can get is through the government. we have had government health care for 40 years and it seems to me that government health care in America has inspired the incredible health care advances in American. thats my take on things.
