Congressional House Call Day!
Yesterday, scores of New Jersey patriots – and patriots from all over the country – descended on the Capitol in Washington, D.C. Our message was clear: KILL THIS BILL!
We were greeted by several terrific addresses from Congressional Representatives like Michelle Bachmann, Mike Pence and Scott Garrett. Mark Levin, Jon Voigt and our own Steve Lonegan also joined the chorus of speakers.
Afterwards, our delegation fanned out - some meeting with Congressman Garrett and others with Reps. Rothman and Adler.
Here is the first of my videos from the rally. Unfortunately, I was much too far away to capture all the speakers but this will give you a sense of the size of the crowd and you can hear all the speeches in their entirety. I will upload more later (as it’s been a bit time-consuming!). So please look for more shortly.
And at the end of the day, a rainbow formed over the Capitol! A sign of good fortune? We can only hope!
Also, here is an article of interest on yesterday’s protest focusing on Steve Rothman.
“scores of New Jersey patriots”????
Mike,
There were between 1000 and two thousand New Jerseyans there. Scores sounds like there were 60 or 80 there.
Great work by Chris Trimarchi and the AFP organization. I was truly impressed to see so many people there on such short notice. It was also good to see Americans will rally around a cause like the Minutemen of the Revolution.

November 6th, 2009 at 11:36 pmHey, how about us guys who fought the local fight?
November 7th, 2009 at 12:07 amThe problem with Republicans is they have to put down everyone but themselves.
November 7th, 2009 at 5:01 pmIt was a truly fantastic day. People from all over the country standing together to let Congress know they don’t represent us.
Steve and Chris are to be congratulated for putting it all together and getting so many of us down to DC to speak for ourselves all of you who couldn’t come.
The meeting with Rothman was a rerun of his Town Hall Meetings. He just doesn’t get it, and I can’t wait until we start a campaign against him.
It’s time to pull together or we will sink alone!
Thanks Mike for recording it.
The rainbow at the end of the day said it all.
My error, I should have said Conservatives, not Republicans

I don’t understand the “put down” comment. Can you shed some light?
November 7th, 2009 at 5:44 pmI guess Mike said it better, “picky picky.”
November 8th, 2009 at 10:49 amWe have to work together to reverse the current trend towards Socialism/ Fascism/ Communism.
Does it matter what we call it? It is the destruction of the Greatest Country in the world. That is what I meant by “Put Downs.”
