And I will be on it! Joining Rep Michele Bachmann (R - MN) and thousands of other Americans on the Capitol steps to make our opposition heard in what's being called the D. C. "Super Bowl of Freedom" Anti-Health Care Reform Rally.
By popular and overwhelming request of NC Patriots, AFP NC has chartered a bus and we're headed north again. I really think there will be more than one, based on numbers from the 912 March and the AFP Defending the Dream Summit. Hope we shut down the Capitol. Wonder how many of our representatives will skip town this time like they did for the Summit? Harder to do since Pelosi is set to demand a vote on Friday.
If you can't make it to DC, then PLEASE consider visiting your representatives' local offices and tell them to vote NO on Pelosi, Reid and Obama's various health care bills.

Houston Tea Party Rally Draws More Than 10,000
If the Houston Tea Party rally reporting is similar to the 912 March on the Capitol, then the actual numbers are probably 50,000. The Houston turnout was fantastic and should (but won't) answer the critics who said the Tea Party movement is just a fad, will fade away in the fall. It won't.
I'm headed for Raleigh Thursday, supporting the Americans for Prosperity Congressional House Call effort. Taking a group of five and hoping the crowd will be overwhelming. Since we're grassroots (not astroturf) and not coordinated, compensated, or coereced, we don't know who or how many, will be there.
Would love to head to DC and support Michelle Bachmann's Call to the Capitol. Have contacted the local Tea Party Patriots to see if we have enough interest to charter a bus. Five buses went out for the 912 March, surely we can come up with one bus for Thursday.

House Panel Paves Way for 'Nuclear Option' in Health Care Reform Bill
FoxNews.com: A key House committee on Thursday quietly altered its health care legislation in a way that could allow the Senate to mow over Republican opposition to Democratic reforms by exploiting a budgetary loophole.
The Ways and Means Committee adjusted its health care overhaul package so that the Senate, down the road, could avoid a filibuster and pass health care reform with a smaller number of votes than normally required.
The long-discussed process, nicknamed the "nuclear option," is known as reconciliation. It's coming into potential play after the Senate Finance Committee on Tuesday became the last of five committees to approve health care reform legislation, sending the overhaul proposals a big step closer to the president's desk. Before it gets there, though, the bill has to pass from the committees to the floors of the House and Senate.
