Michele Bachmann: Health Care Rally Thursday, Washington DC

[Physics Hunter]

Congresswoman Bachman was on Mark Levin's show tonite asking for anyone who could, to be on the "East Front Steps of the U.S. Capitol (House Side)" from "12:00-1"

This is the most under-reported push yet.

Bachmann Calls on the American People to Bring the Town Hall To Washington
"This is the deciding moment and the people need to make sure their representatives know where they stand."


WHAT: Health Care “House Call” on Washington Press Conference
WHO: Republican Members of Congress
Americans concerned about our health care future
Other Guests - TBA

WHEN: Thursday, November 5, 2009 from 12:00-1
WHERE: East Front Steps of the U.S. Capitol (House Side)
Congresswoman Michele Bachmann released the following statement as the House of Representatives approaches a vote on the Democrats’ health care reform proposal:
“The American people spoke loud and clear at town hall meetings all across the country throughout August. But, it would appear that Congress didn’t hear a word they had to say. The Democrats’ latest health care proposal unveiled late last week may be packaged a little differently, but it’s the same old bad bill as before.
“This bill is a trillion-dollar, budget-busting, government takeover of our health care system. It will put bureaucrats between people and their health care. It will lead to rationed care, hurting the most vulnerable amongst us first. It will break the bank, leaving our children to pay the bill with diminished freedoms and dwindling prosperity.
“The American people need to stand up again and make sure that Congress hears them this time. Speaker Pelosi is putting her bill on fast track to a vote – and it remains to be seen if the House will even get a chance to vote on the commonsense Republican alternatives. The people need to make a House Call on Washington this week and tell their Representatives to vote no to a government take-over of one-fifth of our economy. This is gangster government at its worst.
“I urge all Americans to come to Washington this Thursday. Come and meet up with your Representative and tell them that you want to control your health care.”

I hear Mark Levin will be right there with her, as well as many other fine conservatives. She's even going to try to get some kind of entertainment. I hope it's country music. :)

Bump... Thurs Nov 5th

Mark Levin will be there "Levin Surge"
Jon Voight will be there

I know the news cycle is stuck on the elections today, but the timeframe on this is short

[Mohawk5]

I just decided that work on Thursday does not matter compared to this. I am there!

[Mishiny]

I'm so jealous! Wish we could go but used vacation time and vacation savings to make the trip on 9/12. We had so much fun and met thousands of great people! I can't wait to go again and will but can't this soon.
Kudos to everyone for going who can!!

[red-elephant]

My sister and I just decided to make the trip from NC. We own a small business and decided this is more important than anything we need to do on Thursday. It is time for our voices to be heard and to try to stop the insanity....while we still have the freedom to do so. Looking forward to it! God Bless the USA!

[Physics Hunter]

Anyone seen real links for this thing?

Mark Levin has one but so far I see no mention of it on Fox News, Malkin, any of the likely places? If I had not heard Levin speak of it on his radio show last nite I would not have heard of it.

[monkeymom]

I think we can help by taking this viral and getting the word out.

I think a lot more people are hearing about this than some people realize. I heard a woman on Rush a couple of hours ago who said she heard about it Friday, over the weekend she got a message from the "As A Mom" group about people who are planning transportation from various cities, As A Mom had some kind of "template" for mom's to make T-shirts so they will recognize each other when they do get to DC and then can assemble. It will be very, very interesting to see how this all shakes out.

[monkeymom]

No way I can be there - but I posted the info on my FB - kids and friends are sending it out on theirs too. Spreading the word is the best effort I can make.

I will be going also, AFP is chartering buses from the Annapolis area. Hope to see a turnout like 9/12.

I have 1/2 a mind to go ...but I have familial obligations that negate my ability to go to DC on Thursday.

Is anybody on these boards able to go?

****
Oh btw ...this about the idea promulgated by Michelle (B not O) onHannity last Friday night, Beck this am, and Rush this early afternoon (Mark Levin is speaking on the steps as is Jon Voight) I just heard about it today. http://thinkprogress.org/2009/10/31/bachmann-house-call/

Times like this I wish I still lived only 68 minutes from downtown DC not 16 hours (not many times mind you ...but it is one of them)

some in the other thread came up w/ the idea of going to your Rep's local office if you can't get away like me.

My local office is only a 40 minute drive. I'll be there
...I have to get the kids from school at 2pm so I can't do the DC thing.

I heard on Beck this am that asamom in VA beach has a bus going ...look around there may be other buses too.

[lsue]

Time to rally the faithful, and I know the ones that can will be there with bells on,
with lots of signs!!!

I would love to be there!!!!

The thing that gets me is what if we do get a real crowd. The crowd will go bonkers if they turn off the mic at 1:00pm unless they give really clear instructions on what to do. I have no clue how to find my Congressman's office!

I thought with the obamacare it would be free........you mean we gotta pay for mental health care?

[Physics Hunter]

Levin will be on in a minute, let's see what he has to say after he gets thru urging VA, NJ, and NY voters to get out there.

[Physics Hunter]

Mark Levin really boiled it down. I will rip the trnscript off his site as soon as he posts. (He posts free audio rewind nightly, and podcast for those of you who don't get his show locally.)

They want us to go in the building. Leave those pocket knives at home.

I give Michele Backman a lot of the credit for THIS:

"The best hope, Congressional Democrats now say, is for Democrats to pass Senate and House versions of the health care bill by the end of the year, pushing off House-Senate negotiations for a final bill until January."


snip http://abcnews.go.com/m/screen?id=8987651&pid=4380645

They knew Backmann's rally would be effective and wanted to back away from the "health"care bill for awhile so we couldn't say it was because of her rally.

Thank you.

As Mark Levin said on his Tuesday show, Bachmann is a leader! Quite a compliment coming from Mark, a leader himself.

We are winning, and we can't let up. We can't let the "health"care politicians think they are wearing us out. They are NOT. We are more and more energized.

Tomorrow we rise to the fight, supported by yesterday's results.

Pelosi is expected to have the vote Friday or Saturday.

Let's make the congresscritters more afraid of their constituents than they are of Nancy Pelosi. PLEASE call or visit their offices and tell them to vote NO!.
