| See Rebellion At Grass Roots |
| 2009-08-02 |
| A rebellion is brewing in home congressional districts of incumbent Democrats evidenced by the reaction at several town hall meetings. Members are being forced to suspend meetings with their constituents, screaming protesters are being dragged out of events by police and officials are being greeted by protest signs and chants. Carl Levin Retreats from Pledge of Allegiance Rep Doggett meeting on Obamacare in south Austin, TX, 1 Aug 2009 gets him an escort from a crowd shouting "Just say NO." And if you don't already know about it, the Tea Party Movement goes to Capitol Hill 09.12.09 March on Washington |

| #7 I am very happy with my Representative Kenny Marchant. While the vast majority of Reps. and Senators need to go, I'm worried that the baby is going to be tossed with the bath water. These people that have been reelecting these Democrats election cycle after cycle...what did they think they were doing? I sure hope we can save the Republic with having to resort to force of arms, if so, I think this is going to be the death of the Democrat Party. I sure am hoping so anyway. First the traitors, then the enemy. |

| #6 Wait till the Congresscritters hear about "Operation Embarrass Your Congressman". Remember, dissent is the highest form of patriotism! Not to mention that Obama & Co are only used to dishing out ridicule, not taking it. |

| #5 Fox is running a clip on a townhall meeting attemded by Sebelius and Spector. One brave lady lambasted both of them quite properly over this health care bill business. The audience cheered wildly while the slimeball pols grinned sheepishly. |

| #3 Oh, all you elected Congress-critters ... you have only begun to taste of the cup that is in front of you. The Tea Party is brewing up; if you think the last couple of weeks have been rough, just you wait. The Contract with the Constitution is launched, and armed. Sign it and continue existing, politically. Or don't. Your choice. |

| #2 those moments are beautiful, and will continue to bedevil Donks and Squishy Reps through their August. Keep it up and let them know that the next step is pitchforks and torches! |

| #1 They're so use to manufactured astoturfed MoveOn.org publicity shills that pass for public show, that when the real thing shows up they can't grasp the significance or difference of real public demonstration of 'will'. |
