There's a "Big 'Ol T.E.A. Party" Coming to Washington

I wish I had known earlier. I have never been to a march, but I would have made it to this one!

Good Job Protestors......thankyou, for your hard work in stopping thei massive government abuse and rip off of the american people.

It does not surprise me freedomworks is behind this after all republicans have been using freedomworks as a way of manipulating the healthcare debate for quite some time.

I’m tired of being called a conservative. I'm a pro-choice, pro-gun, pro-union, anti-war atheist and I am to go to the march and protest this government. Even I can see what these people are .... Communist!

I wish I could go, but I'm helping my daughter-in-law with the four kids while my son is in Iraq.

At last, a conservative group to organize things like the dozens of liberal/socialist organizations that continually march here and there with "volunteer" protesters.

Anti-Government? HAHAHAHA!!!! This is about going back to the constitution and the principles it was founded upon! Amazing how ABC and Obama are trying to paint innocent American civilians who have strong American Constitutional values as enemies when it is to the exact contrary! Go away ABC or should I say, All Barak Channel.

Technicaly, its the 9-12 project(the912project.com) "is designed to bring us back to the place we were on September 12, 2001. The day after America was attacked we were not obsessed with Red States, Blue States or political parties. We were united as Americans, standing together to protect the values and principles of the greatest nation ever created."

I am tired of the ignorant smear of the Bots trying say it is just republicans protesting and fed up with the government. Either wake up and smell the coffee or grow a brain...either case the facts are that the protestors are republican, democrate, independents and those that even vote because they are so fed up with the system. It isn't one group---its a large number of different people. I btw wasn't able to go to this one...but I am a Libertarian.

Make sure you check out the demographics of the marchers. It will not look like a cross-section of America's population, I assure you. Yet, they will claim to represent The American People.

Don't cover it ABC. Spend the day telling us how the Obama garden is
doing...and how Michelle has grown
pumpkins for ACORNers to carve and
hand out at Halloween time. You
know...the stuff your viewers want
to hear.

It is shocking to me to see how many ignorant, hateful, and small minded idiots post on this website.

Is this just a magnet for any rightwing nutjob???

The single biggest threat to the US doesn't come from terrorists. It comes from selfish, racist, irrational, morons who watch Glenn Beck and listen to Limabaugh.

These people are RACISTS and SICK. March all you want too, that your right. Your President Obama want you to excercise your rights. Have a GOOD Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"He is going to force everybody to insure the uninsurable," said Armey, referring to President Obama's proposal on guaranteed issue and community rating. "The whole concept of insurance is the management of risk and the management of risk is expected to be equally shared by the insurer and the insured."

oh yes the poor oppressed insurance companies with their execs paid up to 125 million per year..your right Arney some people in poor health should not be allowed insurance, that would be stealing their liberty,and that of the insurance companies they should just die if they are not rich..talk about "death panels"! You know what if its unfair to force the insurance compnanies to insure people when that is how you get health care (short of being a multimillioare) then how about a public insurance option? oh and Arney please give up your communistic governmemt health care plan you freakin hypocrite phony I resent having my liberty taken away to pay taxes to pay your rich creepy butts insurance when i cant alway afford to pay my own after im done paying my taxes to help pay for your arney! If you beleive so strongly in liberty quit forcing me to pay for your health care Arney you commie!!!

yeah Good Job Protestors. thank you for being tricked into being used by the lobbyists, hmos, and big insurance companies for your work in contining to insure that insurance companies and HMOs can continue to cheat the living crap out us and line thier pockets with up to 125 million per year annual compensation form theier execs while average americans go bankrupt when they get sick, cant get or afford insurance if they loose or change there job or start a business..the world has changed if you have not noticed..we dont have the "family doctor" of the early 20th century anymore.. we have hmos and big insurance and pharma, govt. is a necessary evil at times to protect us from the other thieves..Americans pay 10 times as much for health care as other, the american drug companies subsidized by the us taxpayer charge us 10x as much for drugs as other countries and the hmos often cancel people coverage as soon as they get sick, right now we get little help from the govt. but still pay big taxes..the worst of both worlds!

so go ahead and protest chumps, but most of you are being manipulated by those smarter and richer than you

Wish I could be there. It's really about money..and what we're spending. Our children and grandchildren are being given a massive debt to pay. It's about taking back our government and getting rid of corruption. Is there anyone defending the non-defensible ACORN? Is it OK to vote for a bill without reading it? That's what it's all about!

''I wish I had known earlier'' says an earlier poster here. It's time for many like that person to reevaluate where they get their news from. They need to change or at least augment their traditional sources of news. This is because the traditional major news media is not covering stories of national importance and their readers and viewers are getting surprised more and more when the stories, e.g. Van Jones, finally do break.

Man!
So many angry people quick to denigrate their fellow citizens who disagree with them. to sum up, if you don't agree with the current administration you are:
1. a racist
2. a bigot
3. a moron
4. an anti-government militiaman
5 a shill for big pharma/insurance
6. working against your own self-interest.

What I don't see is any refutation of the criticisms raised against the healthcare takeover. Could that be because they know them to be valid? when you have facts on your side you dont have to attack the messenger.

Many people on here are afraid of the movement that these people represent. They are afraid because they still believe that Obama and his people were telling them the truth during the campaign. But ask yourself this: where is the integrity we were promised? Most of his appointees didn't make it through the vetting process due to shady pasts and financial dealings. Bipartisan relations? "We won. That's why". Peace in the world? He wants even more troops in Afghanistan and oh by the way March 2009 has come and gone and from what I see the troops are still in Iraq. Face it people: He Lied.

Healthcare reform or healthcare insurance reform. I suppose it depend on which day you hear the Dems talking and which side of their mouths they are talking out of. Frankly, after reading HR3200, it looked like the largest violation of the US Constitution was stopped dead in its tracks by a handful of Patriots. Those same Patriots are now represented by the largest grass roots movement in recent history. This is no longer about health care. It is about the survival of our very Constitution. Obamacare would create new taxes and penalties that exist outside of the provisions of Article 1 section 8. There would be no congressional oversight of these new taxes and the power to regulate would be directly passed to the White House for the first time in our nations history. I wouldn't even vote for that to happen in a legitimate President no less the current one. Face it people: He Lied

Chumps? Lets see now... which candidate conviced his constituents that he would not tax the middle class yet supports HR3200 which will specifically tax every single member of every class (except the ruling class). This stopped being about health care reform a long time ago. The creation of a Commissioner of Health Care that is beyond the control or overesight of the duly elected congress is the most egregious affront to the American Constitution in the history of the Republic. This new commissioner will have the ability to levy taxes and penalties in a way that completely bypasses elected officials. Since that person serves at the pleasure of the president, it transfers power form the congress to the white house with absolutely no recourse. Even the court systems are addressed in the existing bills to ensure that the commissioner's decisions are beyond judicial review. Where is the ACLU now? Face it people: He lied.
