Last Thursday, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-MN) urged Americans to go to Washington today and protest Obamacare. Well, Mark Levin picked up the charge and others joined her.
Today, thousands will pour into Washington to tell Nancy Pelosi and the Congress to send Obamacare to a death panel (that’s section 1233 of the original legislation). If you need details on where to go in D.C. or if you can’t go, but want to show up at your Congresscritter’s local office, go here.
And Americans owe a huge thank you to Michele Bachmann for sounding the call to action.

DC here we come!

Just a typo....
momma2four Thursday, November 5th at 9:41AM EST (link)EagleWatcher’s post was referring to rewording the original wording “send Obama to a death panel” in the post….which has now been changed to say “send Obamacare to a death panel”….which is probably what Erick originally meant to type
Just sayin’….
Ohio checking in
ohmom23 Thursday, November 5th at 7:17AM EST (link)I arrived in DC last evening. Last official count from Ohio Liberty Council was 9 buses arriving late last night. I’ve heard there are as many as 15 buses from Ohio alone. That doesn’t count those of us who drove or flew separately. Also, the Mommy Patriots from AsAMom.org will be well represented. Over 300 RSVPs from all around the country. I’m cautiously optimistic that we will have a good turnout today. Now pray that Pelosi doesn’t try to bar us access to the Capitol. If the crowd is as big as I hope, it could get ugly fast.

Tom Perriello D (VA-5) Needs a Visit Today
reallyfive Thursday, November 5th at 7:59AM EST (link)Oh my, just saw him interviewed on Morning Joe. He is a D who won in a typically R district in 2008. Said he is moving towards a YES vote on HC Reform. He is interpreting the rout in VA to mean that his voters didn’t show-up because HC hasn’t been passed yet. I guess the swing in Independents from D to R hasn’t been properly explained to him. Those of you walking the halls of Congress today may need to explain to him what is going to happen to him in 2010 if he votes Yes on HC.
Thanks to those of you who are going to DC today. You are representing many of us who wish we could be with you. I have three little children and I just couldn’t work it out. But, my 70 year old aunt called me at 6:00 p.m. last night and said she was getting on a bus at the Atlanta Capitol at 8:00 p.m. last night to go to DC. She is going by herself and doesn’t know a single soul who is riding the bus with her.
Praying for you in Colorado...
Sunnybrook Thursday, November 5th at 8:01AM EST (link)We’d love to be there, but since we can’t, we are praying that your presence and voices will be powerful to speak against the the unaffordable, unsustainable and destructive policies of this Obamanation Abomination. Bless you all, and thanks for standing in our stead today!
Bless everyone who joins this effort........

I second the motion to reword "death panel"
partyof1 Thursday, November 5th at 8:30AM EST (link)send Obamacare to a death panel maybe. I don’t mean for my first post to be a critcism but the left will jump on things like that and the real issue will be lost.
Thanks for the work you and other contributors do on RS. I wish I could be DC right now.

The problem with America is stupidity. I’m not saying there should be capital punishment for stupidity, but why don’t we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
This is the kind...

We must make it clear that government obstruction in all these areas will not be condoned or allowed. To all those going to and in DC, GO GET EM, I wish I could be there but it’s just impossible at this time.

Liberal Commentator
dclamage Thursday, November 5th at 3:01PM EST (link)I heard on Quinn & Rose that some Liberal commentator smirkily questioned which rich fat cat or corporation was paying to bus so many angry Conservatives into DC. Her assumption being basded on a) that’s something the Left does all the time and b) surely this must be Astroturf?
it never occurred to her that these people are all acting independently, but with the same single-minded purpose; to let Congress know THEY ARE ON THE WRONG TRACK!!!

Just got back to hotel
ohmom23 Thursday, November 5th at 3:40PM EST (link)Wonderful experience, but a bit different than 9/12. The crowd was much smaller, of course, on such short notice (I’d guess around a 1/4 of the size of the 9/12 march) but very, very animated. Chants of “Nancy, Nancy” daring her to come down and face us, “Kill the Bill” and “You work for us” swept through the crowd, mostly before the speeches started. Price, Bachmann, Levin and John Voight were great, then the hangers-on began their speeches which seemed to drag on forever. We left after about an hour and a half.
Before assembling at the foot of the Capitol, I attended an informal meet and greet over coffee with Sen. Sherrod Brown. I did speak to him briefly, but spent over 1.5 hours grilling 2 members of his staff on education and healthcare issues/legislation. The two ladies I spoke with were visibly surprised that an average person was so well versed on these topics, and one of them became very uncomfortable when she realized how much we knew about the extent of the feds reach into our “local” schools. Now that I have names and contact numbers, I’ll be able to go directly to correct staffer when I have something to say.
Michele Bachmann, thank you for inviting me to your “HouseCall” today.
