Call to Arms: Join Me in DC Saturday to Stop ObamaCare
by Jon VoightI am calling to all of you freedom-loving Americans to come once again to Washington D.C. to gather at upper Senate Park, across from the Capitol on Saturday, at 12 o’clock noon.
We must come by the thousands.

Speaker Pelosi will stop at nothing to fulfill her corrupt conquests. She will bring all of the corrupt ACORN liars to try to bully all the Democrats that may be having pangs of guilt knowing quite surely what their votes can and will do. If they’re bullied into saying “yes,” it will destroy America.
Join me and Rep. Michele Bachmann in Washington DC at 12 noon EST so we can give all the Democrats who know what the end result will be the courage to say: “No, do not pass this destructive bill.”
I’ll see you there.

I so wish there were more people like you in Hollywood. Thank You. I will pass this on to everyone I know.
God bless you, Mr. Voight! You're more handsome than ever, a great actor and an even greater Patriot!
Right on Mr. Voight!
Thank you for what you are doing. I wish we could be there but I am paying off our trip there in August. God speed my friend, I pray thousands of partriots are standing with you !!
Great idea. I really wish I could go. I will be there in spirit. If I can help anyone else ego let me know.
These are the times that try mens souls.

As the hippies used to say, "POWER TO THE PEOPLE!"
This time, it is WE THE PEOPLE!
Washington D.C. belongs to us. We have just been "renting it" to many of the wrong tenants.
It's EVICTION TIME!
God Bless you Mr. Voight. Keep fighting for our Republic! We appreciate you, and we will continue to do our part as well!
Too Late–they've done it!!!
Bravo Mr. Voight! While I can't be there, my prayers will be with all of the Patriots representing what is Right about our country.
Yeah, good luck, Jon. As today’s informal vote on the Slaughter rule has proven, Washington doesn’t give a f__k what the masses have to say.
This time make sure to take as much video as possible….. They can't hide the truth…. Jon Voight, one of few left in Hollywood with live brain cells.
Thank you for this Mr. Voight, thank you for standing up for your/our country when I know it must be difficult for you.
Thanks for the courage.
I will be there.
"When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."
Take some BIG signs that say: RESIGN NOW! And personalize them for Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Biden, and every Democrat supporting this bill which has nothing to do with health care reform. Call 'em out and then if they won't go, let's put 'em out … by whatever means necessary.
Thank you, Mr. Voight, for being a true American Patriot!
How about "POWER TO WE THE PEOPLE!!"
I will be there with you Mr. Voight. Thank you.
I can not be there… But, I can be at my State Capitol. Who will join me? It doesn't matter what state we are in, we are all Americans. Let's be heard from all of OUR CAPITOL'S!
WILL YOU JOIN US PATRIOTS???
Good for you Mr. Voight and it's a show of character for you to call for this –
Now I don't know where to go, so many places to be and not enough time to go from place to place!
I'll be there
and please lets have productive signs- simply Vote NO on healthcare should be sufficient, nothing angry or dumb. there will be enough plants for that.
I wish I could be there but it is impossible–I will stop what I am doing at Noon ET -which is 11:00 my time and pray for you and all that shw up. Thank you for all you are doing for this Country. Memphis TN

I have seen alot.
I watched as John F. Kennedy was assasinated. Saw Vietnam and south east asia uo close and personal. Watched Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy cut down in their prime; watched Watergate unfold and watched Nixon resign in disgrace. Witnessed both Gulf Wars unfold, and watched another President almost brought down, and at least brought to his knees by a blue dress. I watched as the first black man was elected as President, and remember thinking to myself at the time, "we sure have come far."
I never thought I would live to see the America that I love, that I fought for, that I put my life on the line for, be on the verge of unravelling, from within.
And so the next step begins. Take cameras, take many cameras. Take cameras that you can hide and cameras that can be seen. Expect trouble, expect the Statist slaves to be fooled into beginning something that they will try to blame on the rest of us. Expect violence from the Left and pray it does not happen.
I so wish I can make it there, and i would, but I can't afford it! I will be there in spirit though and I'll also look for videos so that I can feel the warm fire blare within me, knowing that I'm not alone and also that those that do go, are doing so for all of us! God bless you, Jon! And God Bless the American citizens fighting for our freedom!
You're a great patriot Jon- Our founding fathers NEVER would have expected this kind of Marxist take over of our wonderful country and over a year ago many of us would have expected it either. You are one of many strong voices attempting to fight the absolute horrors which are taking over our wonderful country but those bastards in Washington just don't give a damn. God bless you and please keep up the good fight !!!!!!
It's never too late. There might not be enough time to stop it now, but it will eventually come to an end. Obama and others would have to run again…
In the main time educate your friends and neighbors, your family and finally your self.

Kick the tires and light the fires big daddy!
WOW!!! NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALK'N ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fairfax County Supervisor Pat Herrity is organizing a "Hands OFF My Healthcare" rally tomorrow, Friday, March 19th, at George Mason University, Patriot Center, 4400 University Drive, Fairfax, VA 8:30 AM – 11:00 AM. Obama will be there doing his best Elmer Gantry (although he thinks he's LeBron James!) to sell his Marxist garbage.
Can't wait – See you there!
I really hope this works out. We will pray for you guys. "GOD is great, Beer is good, People are crazy." taken from a country song.
Can't be there , long way from Colorado, but I understand we have you speaking on a Tea Party webinar coming up this month. I'll be there!!!
Go get 'em Mom!
Thanks Jon, I will be watching the coverage on FOX
Give 'em hell!
Mr. Voight,
OH, My gosh. We have found an actor inside the circle of trust.
I promise to purchase a ticket to see every movie you are in.
For those in Orange County California
Emergency Healthcare Protest -corner of Lake Forest Drive west of I-5, Laguna Hills, California (street corners near In 'n Out Burger at Laguna Hills Mall). Plenty of parking at mall and at closed Circuit City parking lot.
10 am to 2 pm Saturday March 21 – or however long you can stay, spread the word!
I'll be there…we have to stop these Progressives.
John Voight is an American hero. At great personal expense in Hollywood, he continues to stand up for what is right and decent. This is the very definition of hero. I just hope his beautiful daughter one day catches on.
If that comes to pass, I pledge to go on the hunting trip of a lifetime.
Scientists Detect Black Hole Developing in Democrats' Health Care Bill (click image to enlarge) http://optoons.blogspot.com/2010/03/scientists-de...
Thirty-five years ago, if I were to stand next to this guy, I would have choked him to… It's so refreshing to see that some of these people see the error of their ways. As far as I'm concerned, he's redeemed himself. Give 'em the truth, Jon, and let 'em think it's Hell!
Like many I cannot get there but in spirit ! God bless those who can participate. God Bless Jon Voight for his courage as well as being a PATRIOT. These are more than trying times… This is either the RESURGANCE of our Founding Principles or the DEMISE of our Republic. The Dems that are flipping are traitors to this wonderful United States of America and they will pay with the loss of their seats but more importantly will be branded as the MOST CORRUPT Congress in the short history of our country. They will be shunned and verbally stoned for the rest of their lives. They need to be sought out, located in their neighborhoods and ruined in public wherever they go. There is a lesson to be learned and a price to be paid for screwing America !
You guys and dolls have NO idea what is coming your way…. Enjoy the few short months you have for we will hound you wherever you go. You will never want to show your face in public ever again because we will be there to insult you and remind those around you what a POS you really are. HAPPY DAYS ARE SOON UPON US !
What I do not understand is, why is NO ONE telling the TRUTH as to why medical cost are so high? We all agreee that medical coverage is costly however, why not attack the problems? Instead of using it as strictly a power ploy, by explaining them to the American people called the TRUTH! Nothing else matters!
IT IS INCREDIBLE SO MANY DEMOCRATS WERE BORN WITHOUT A SPINE. IRONICALLY, NO ONE HAS NOTICED AS THEY WERE NOT GIVEN BRAINS EITHER.
I'm with you in spirit. Wish I could be there…
They make me want to puke.
Yes..Thanks Mr. Voight!
This is what we need to do!
Lets' TURN IT UP AMERICA….TURN OUT BY THE THOUSANDS!
It is too bad that Tom Selleck, Robert Duvall and a few other "tough guys" won't step up………….
I wish I could be there but I will be there in spirit! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I couldn't agree with you more.
We were all young once,and stupid.
It just proves,that with age, comes wisdom.
Saturday or Sunday?
You are right.
This came about with no notice whatsoever.
I have a funeral to go to Saturday.
I'd rather be in DC.
I seriously think that we don't have a prayer with stopping this "health care" bill…. I can't believe the amount of congress person's who are willing to sell their soul to the devil just to get this garbage passed. Honestly, I'm losing faith in our government! This is happening right in front of our eyes… I never thought that this great nation would end in such a way. Obama refuses to listen to the voices of the people, is he smoking crack? Does he not see or hear the anger that is transforming before him? Well Mr. President, "Let me make this perfectly clear…" 2012 is right around the corner & you will be removed from office!!! OTP!!!! It may takes years to undo the mess you've created. But you see you've opened this great nations eyes. "We the people" will have our voices heard.
KILL the BILL !!!
Thumbs up to everyone who's posted here, and a hundred thumbs up to Jon Voight.
Won't be able to be there this time. DC's a long way from Wa State.
Was there 9/12/09, might even be in that picture.
One of the best times in our life.
Power to the People.
God bless.
We will meet one day soon at a rally and fire up our followers, Cowboy… It's in the cards….my friend…
Yes Jon!! That's what I'm talkin' about! Why can't there be more patriots like you in Hollyweird? One of the few left there with a brain.
Hope I'm there.
If this think passes by Slaugther and Barry signs it, it means the American experimented ended in failure. If Saturday doesn't stop them, then Tuesday we'll stop them. It's time to saddle up and ride.
Funny! LOL!
My boys and I will be there!!!!!!
Guys I don't know how else to say this.
They.
Aren't.
Listening.
March all you like if you find it makes you feel better emotionally but this stopped being about healthcare or pragmatic politics a long time ago. This is an unprecedented abuse of power and abuse of the Constitution. This is the result of a government with no fear of the governed so unless you plan on "storming the castle" and dragging these crooks kicking and screaming into the streets you will accomplish nothing. We stopped being relevant to our government quite a while ago your votes don't matter to them because for every one educated voter who says "enough" there are three uneducated voters with their hands out saying "more".
I don't know what else they have to do to us to make us ready to fight and I mean literally fight.
Listen to Rev Wrights sermons & you'll realize o is not one of us, he is one of them, the angry
Black Liberation Theologists. They have been angry for decades, & you think he gives a tinkers
damn if we are angry, he's laughing his azz off at out death rigors. It is Sweet revenge to him.
Wish I could be there, but old, disabled and poor, so all I have left is prayer. Say a prayer for the imposter, Psalm 109;8 and hope Lord it happens sooner rather than later. God Bless America
The midnight cowboy is still down on his knees.
Maryland's Eastern Shore will be there!! See you then!
A Challange.
About a month or so ago, Eric Haymes and Gary Graham had the following threads here, pandering for funds. For jet fuel, for hand outs, to help the Haitian earthquake victims. I'd challange them both to step up to the plate now, and join with Mr. Voight. It might be about time that those in Hollywood do something to help America for once.
http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/ggraham/2010/02...
http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/ehaymes/2010/02...
I sure do commend Jon Voight for his activism.
It is too bad that folks like Tom Selleck and Robert Duvall won't step up and get active. They have made a ton of money through the years, playing muy macho roles, and acting muy grande. Evidently it was just an act.
Randy,
Amble over to Big Hollywood.
I just threw out a little challange to Gary Graham and Eric Haymes. It is on the Voight thread.
If this Pig-in-a-POKE bill gets signed by the ONE………………….
Don't worry all…WE WILL NOT ROLL OVER AND PLAY DEAD.
Through our life time we only saw Uprisings in other countries…We I bet we will have much more than that NOW.
Thank you Mr. Voight…You will be remembered in my prayers….You are not only a great patriot, but
have enormous courage!
I can’t come from Alaska but we support you. You all have our prayers too.
This nation is teetering dangerously toward ruin. PLEASE SHOW UP IF YOU CAN!!!
I think all these marches are a waste of good time and MONEY. You go, you march, you listen to a bunch of people speak and then what? what the heck does that accomplish? if you don't get 100,000 or more, the MSM says it was a little crowd… so you are just setting yourself up for a negative.
Why not save the time and money and use it to help organize in your own district and work to elect conservatives to kick all the bums out in the fall? I just think marching and marching and marching isn't going to change any of the liberal dolt minds and since we already feel the way we do, who are we marching to influence?
Ticket is $300.00 non stop there for me. Leaves 10:30 am tomorrow. I run my big mouth enough. May be time to put my money where my mouth is. Even though I don't have any being in and out of jobs for 2 years. Hell my dad fought in Europe and slept in foxholes in 15 bellow weather. Least I can do I surmise.
Links return > Error 404 – Not Found
I fi go all mine will say is NO TO DEATH CARE,,,,,
I can't be there because I'm dirt poor, please deliver a six word message on my behalf if you will….
WE WILL NOT BOW TO TYRANNY!!!
You have real fans in this counry. This country needs to wake up. I am going to gun show tomorrow, not to buy any guns, since I can't afford any, but to take the pulse of this country at this important time. It is a great place to see "Real America"
Was it too late when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
Where was the media during his campaign? Why wasn't Rev Wright brought up? Why didn't they investigate the Bill Ayers connection? Or Acorn? The list goes on & on… yet they had no problem hacking into Palins emails or the amount of $$$ that was spent on her wardrobe… Why didn't anyone mention that he sat in that church for 20 years, married Michelle & Obama & is the correct me if I'm wrong "the godfather to his children"… not sure on that one. And we are to think he didn't walk away with any of Wrights teachings??? Bunch of BS….
We can do both and getting together helps us to feel connected and know we are not alone. There is unity in the group and we share and learn from each other. Every time we get a car honking it helps. Every time a stranger walks up to ask why we are doing this we get an opportunity to get another citizen engaged. Last fall I went 25 miles to picket at a state reps office with only my daughter. We were the first ones there. Within an hour there were 30 folks with signs but cars stopping had brought another 50 who joined the e-mail lists for Tea Party Patriots and 9/12 groups. Now we are all communicating. This is an excellent investment of a couple of hours and a bit of gas in my opinion.
Man you still are the "Champion",……..wish I could be there to help you,….stop this,…
"Runaway Train",…….
Will pray for beautiful weather in DC for Saturday.
I will be there!
I'll be there, and I'm spreading the word.
My brother and I are driving up from Tampa tomorrow morning!
Amen!!!
or…"By oft repeating an untruth, men come to believe it themselves." ~Tho. Jefferson, 1813
Go Harley GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I will be at my states capitol here in AZ. My son and daughter will be with me.
ROAD TRIP!!! YEEE HAAAAAAAAAAA
I already emailed my rep, told him he will forever be known as a "death monger" for killing innocent babies!!!!
Told him I would make sure of that when he runs for the seat again this fall!!!!
God Bless you Sir. I am a Viet-Nam veteran. We vets appreciate people like you. With the recent resurgence in patriotism, finally, I finally know now that my friends did not die in vein. Thank You again.

This is nothing less than a call for stabilization of the Republic! We MUST not falter! LIBERTY, LIBERTY, LIBERTY!
Mr. Voight has been speaking out against the radical left for a while. He, unlike many of his hollywood associates, has realized that his wonderful living is because of the kindness of people willing and able to plunk down $10.00 to see his craft. He also realized that the lifestyle he's lived could only have happened in America. What amazes me is how so many of the hollywood crowd can't seem to grasp that simple concept. Don't they understand that they, and their craft will be the first thing to go under the very form of government they think they want, without really understanding it? They will be making (state approved) movies. The time of artistic freedom will be a thing of the past. Art (shall) be, what the state says it is. Think not?, read real history, not the leftist drivel taught in many of our children's schools, and in most colleges. The cancer in America isn't small, and it's going to take radical surgery to remove it, it's also going to take time, probably 3 or 4 election cycles till we weed out those, in it for themselves, and elect men and women with character, proven character. This time it's really up to us. We the people must act as one and get involved at every level. What happened in Texas is proof that there are people who do care about America, and these people should be applauded.
Hey, KarenO. They haven't done it and it is never too late. After all the legal and constitutional challenges have run their course, I suggest that you get as far as you can from the sideline and keep your mouth shut. SEIU can play this way, but WE are ever so much better.
If you can't make it you can still do the next best thing: keep flooding the phone lines!
is anyone here like me– I have supported these kinds of public demonstrations, but have never personally attended them for one reason or another (mostly due to work & family obligations)– I'd say this one is more than worth the effort here– this is a huge one they are trying to put over on us– count me as a YES for attending! And you Congressional representatives from Virginia, you all had better vote NO on this debacle– or you will all be recalled home in November!
Good on ya! Give em hell for me!!
Remember that LIBS loved to total the body count in Iraq during the Bush administration. I wonder if they count the number of babies killed by their abortion policies ? Just so you know… The number of citizens NEVER GIVEN A CHANCE OR CHOICE AT LIFE IS….. 38 MILLION ! And you can thank or bitch slap every fricking liberal you ever meet for this infanticide…. Aren't they lovely for killing innocent babies ??
i wish i could be there
God bless Jon Voight!!! God have mercy on our souls if this horrible bill passes. It will take many years to undo it!!! November is not getting here soon enough.
[...] [...]
The media was on obamaos side also !!!!!
Chris mathews call saul alinsky " one of our heros"
All but Fox News !!!
No, PRAYER is the next best thing–THEN, flood the phone lines.
Stop the Communists, Mr. Voight.
America is behind you.
Can anyone tell me why Obama is nationalizing higher ed. school loans in this health care bill? What does that have to do with health care? How about the pork? The misstatement of the CBO estimates?
Is he setting up a massive future-directed Affirmative Action system by which the government decides who will go to medical school, who will go to college, who will be a technician, and who gets nothing at all?
Is there a hidden agenda that we will be told what to weigh, what to eat, when to exercise, who will take care of us, and so on?
What about the separate but equal linguistically and culturally correct parallel health care system that the bill sets up? And the shift in funding to get this apartheid health program up and running?
What about the veterans' benefits that will be decided by the Treasury Dept. Dept. of Obamacare, and Sec. of Defense. Will he institute income-based care rationing via the VA? Or class-based?
To the commies, yes, I read the bill a few months ago. It is no treat. The guy is a criminal, and so is Congress.
Thank you Mr. Voight for having the courage to stand strong for those of us that are being ignored. The sad part of this all, are the people that are going to be turned away for four years before that will be able to reap what few benefits there really are in this Bill. This time next year, if this Bill passes, Americans that are still NOT receiving the so called benefits will once again be asking WHY? and demanding MORE!!!!
I'm among those who simply can't afford the trip to Washington right now but I will be praying for us all. I appeal to all of you out there- if you do have the recources, please, please nothing could put them to better use than going to Washington Saturday. And nothing could be more important, litterally.
A crowd of "epic" proportions could in fact scare the "devil" out of some of these Dems… and we only need a precious few changed minds.
I will be praying, admittedly for the first time in a long time. Praying for a miracle that only God can deliver. God save this Republic.
They shor did talk purdy, didn't they? The parsimonious pissants who ru(i)n our world these days wish they could speak the way these guys did.
Way to go John!! Thanks!!
Mr. Voight,
Thank you for your unwaivering support of our country. You have to have ba*** to exist in La La Land as a Conservative. (Have you considered running for President? I mean, it went well for Mr. Reagan).
I wish with all of my heart that I could be there.
HOWEVER, I have been calling the White House non stop. I have called local offices of all Democrats in the House of Representatives in Georgia (my home state) and let them know what I will do – nonviolently, of course, to ensure their defeat in November. I have emailed Democrats outside of my district – both in my state and all over the country – to let them know that we Americans understand that this is the beginning of the end.
(Hint to others – to email Democrats outside of your district, put in the address of the town hall in one of the cities they represent and it will go through).
And they won't even get the irony.
[...] over your wallet.Not to distract from the task at hand, mind you: I’ll be checking in with Jon Voight on Saturday. I’ll leave tomorrow’s Virginia greeting of BHO to Dan Riehl. We’ve got to make [...]
Angry signs are fine . . . just be sure they reflect a firm intelligent message. Attempting to act like you're not angry is absurd. There's enough phoniness in the Party of the Democrats and we need not add to it.
Go sir. Be there and help make history. This is how our generation fights for their country!
Couldn't agree with you more TR
I didnt know the Germans bombed Pearl Harbour
I'll be there – again
Thank you Mr. Voight. I'm so happy to see that Rep. Michele Bachmann will be there as well. I am marching to defeat FOCA in Illinois on Saturday, but my prayers will be with you. Remember to call upon the 50+ million warriors in heaven to help. They are small, but they are Mighty.
Cant be at any of them
gotta work so they can take my taxes
but i will be there in spirit
Back in the day when you told your child not do something for his own good and he continually defied you, you corrected that child. Washington is just like that child that says, NO!, I WON'T LISTEN!
The question is: How many times do you need to make that request before a correction is warranted?
If Obama thinks we will just hand him 20 million instant democrats, he has lost his mind! You think the health care fight is bad, wait till he tries to pull this! WE DO NOT GET TIRED BARRY! WE WILL BE THERE TO SLAP YOUR MARXIST IDEAS DOWN EVERY SINGLE TIME! Got it?
correction on date and address – Saturday March 20 off of El Toro Road and the I-5 (not Lake Forest)
DC SIEGE 2010!!!
Hi Missy8s
i have to work but i ditto your message
I heard Jon voight speak in Sarasota, Florida for the then presidential candidate Rudy Guillani. He will not disappoint you. I cannot be there in person but my prayers will be.
In CA
DC literally needs to be surrounded if I could be there I would but I will continue to do what I can to rally the troops through Saving the Republic
i think there will be plants but no overt activity
and a good song it is
Godspeed Mr. Voight.
yup
im living proof
Aren't we all?
Americans in the USA are confronted with drug lords on the Southern Border killing Americans, we have two wars going one and we have a President with debatable origin,we have one Republican trying to kiss 12 million illegal aliens from Mexico, we have Muslims in the USA calling for Jihad against the infidel in the USA, and we have a congress trying to destroy liberty and the people are asleep, We need an American to steer the ship and maybe John and Michele is being sent by our God.
I was supposed to work on my house this weekend, but I'm going. Not for god (I'm an atheist), or for me or even for my wife, but for my kids. We are losing our political culture, our American individualist ethos, to the virulent, creeping socialism that is inspired by good intentions but devoid of historical awareness and an understanding of human nature. If this government continues on its course, my son and daugther will be poorer than me; they will have fewer opportunities; they will stand in lines for health care. I MUST do my small part to stop this.

Article 04 – Mankind led to reason & virtue
If Virtue & Knowledge are diffused among the People, they will never be enslav'd. This will be their great Security.
— Samuel Adams, letter to James Warren, February 12, 1779
As we move from the discussion of the passions of mankind and how those passions will result in the
eventual evolution of violence or peacefulness depending on the character of the nation, we need to
determine how “Mankind is led to reason & virtue.” Where this reason & virtue is usually called human
charter, but what is character? How does one define an individual that has character? In most cultures we
find the following adjectives as descriptive of someone with good character or “virtue”; Honest, Direct, Noble,
Industrious, Trustworthy, etc.1 But the four most notable characteristics of “virtue” as defined by the Greek
and Christian philosophers are temperance [the practice of moderation], prudence [the practice of sound
judgment], fortitude [the practice of courage] and justice [the practice of moderation between selfishness and
selflessness]. Where the one binding concept required by a human of character is what we can call Reason.
This brings us to our first “Principle of Reason & Virtue”, “A human whom has character, will have virtue that
cannot be without a solid ability to reason and a solid sense of reason cannot be without the directive intent
of virtue.”
As a Texan I humbly ask any resident of Solomon Ortiz's district to go to his local office &
demonstrate. Mr Ortiz must be informed of the consequences of the action he plans on
taking. This HC bill will not help his Hispanic brothers as he evidently believes. The US wil
become a 3rd world country, as is Mexico. There will be no advantage to crossing the border,
legally or illegally. Tell Mr Ortiz he is killing the goose who lays the golden eggs.
James, we started last year this time and no-one knew anybody else who was like-minded and against the corruption and powergrab of the govt. All our contacts have been made through these "little marches" and we have grown and grown. We can now hold events with a moment's notice, and that's what the beauty of the TPM is all about.
But one might ask, “What does this nonsense of reason and virtue have anything to do with governance?”,
as stated throughout our works, we the Founding Fathers, believe that mankind can establish good governance through reflection and choice [“Are societies of men capable of establishing good government
from reflection and choice?”].6 Thus, we must move our conversation to the effective use of reason in our
efforts to make judgments in our daily lives such that we can make solid choices that uphold the intent of
virtue to ensure that all of society can operate in a functional manner. So what consists of Reason, or more
importantly the question is, “Why do we Reason?” We reason as human beings to best determine what
decisions we need to make in our day to day lives. Where these day to day decisions are needed to survive
the world in which we live. Such that reason, different from logic, requires pre-conceived knowledge and
understanding [and intuition] to reach conclusions to guide our behaviors in the world at large, providing us
the truth at the moment that can lead us to a virtuous decision that can enhance our survival. Logic is an
explicit set of steps that can be executed when provided a specific problem and the time to reflect on the
solution, where one executes those series of steps to a conclusion. This subtle difference is important, since
we need to distinguish Reason [internal] from logic [external] to ensure that we properly integrate this idea
into our governing methodology.7 There are many books on logic and its proper use; this article will not
discuss these in detail since it is not concerned with the execution of logic, but the execution of Reason.
In the formation of our constitution the wisdom of all ages is collected–the legislators are antiquity are consulted, as well as the opinions
and interests of the millions who are concerned. It short, it is an empire of reason.
— Noah Webster, An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, 1787
Sunshine, are you going next weekend to Searchlight? If not, send your friends up in Bullhead City and Havasu.
Human “reasoning” then is the practice of using inductive or deductive thinking intuitively to come to
conclusions and truths within day to day life. The use of reasoning comes before logic because prior to
written and spoken word mankind used reasoning to survive on a daily basis. All aspects of human life are
derived from the faculty of inductive and deductive reasoning, from when we are children we use inductive
reasoning to determine what the color of red is and what is a circle, as examples. Ultimately, we use
inductive and deductive reasoning to establish and teach language, where we have an understanding that
language is more than just learning what something is called. Learning is first the act of grouping things that
are similar [inductive thinking] and secondly determining whether something is like or belongs with
something else [deductive thinking]. These things we call “concepts” are then what the mind creates through
the use of inductive (creation of concepts) and deductive thinking (testing of items for belonging with
concepts and determining the rigor of a concept) such that mankind can work efficiently in the world. Such
that we now come to our second set of “Principles of Reason and Virtue”, “Concepts and language are
formed in the human mind through the use of inductive and deductive reasoning, such that the use of
Reason and Virtue together can form concepts and language that represent the effective truth in which to
make prudent and courageous decisions that result in temperate and jurisprudent events.”
It is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth — and listen to the song of that siren, till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those, who having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it might cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.
— Patrick Henry, speech in the Virginia Convention, March 23, 1775
So it is important to note that we then must contrast this concept of reasoning with the notion that our senses
can be at times fallible. So that sometimes we use our inductive and deductive reasoning skills to come to
conclusions or decisions that are in error. There are two paths to error, the first is an honest
misunderstanding of events or an unknown level of science that either prevents an individual or group from
moving forward or allows them to make decisions that are ineffective or potentially destructive. The second is
the perception of events through the lens of vice, where the individual that has been consumed by their vice
uses their inductive and deductive reasoning to advocate a decision that consolidates power or advocates a
deviant behavior that will be, in the long run, ineffective or destructive. In the first case, decisions based on
misunderstandings, the ability of the individual and/or group to correct the problem becomes evident when
the truth is exposed and or the unfolding of events presents the error in the attempted reasoning. In the second, it can be much more insidious since the infringing truth or events will need to be discarded,
eliminated or twisted to be integrated in some manner since the conclusions support not truth [and virtue],
but vice. So we now come to our third “Principles of Reason and Virtue”, “When Reason and Virtue work
together, concepts that are created through fallible perceptions that eventually are not supported in reality
and associated truths, can be reconstituted to support the known reality and newly exposed truths with
minimum conflict within the individual, among groups and within society as a whole.” The fourth principle
then would be, “When Reason and Vice work together, concepts that are created through fallible perceptions
that are not supported in reality and truths, will tend to continue as fallacies causing harm to those whom are
on the negative receiving end of the misaligned concept; with the eventual alignment of truth for a concept,
arrived through fallacy, having a higher than average probability of being exposed resulting in its correction
with a less than peaceful event.”
Thank you for bringing reality home and bring the important things to light! Living in San Diego, I assure you we fully understand the Border problems and with a HUGE Muslim population, you gotta believe I'm worried.
The Wikipedia Entry States:
Vice is a practice or a habit considered immoral, depraved, and/or degrading in the associated society. In more minor usage, vice can refer to a fault, a defect, an infirmity or merely a bad habit. Synonyms for vice include fault, depravity, sin, iniquity, wickedness and corruption. The modern English term that best captures its original meaning is the word vicious, which means "full of vice". In this sense, the word vice comes from the Latin word vitium, meaning "failing or defect". Vice is the opposite of virtue.
Dictionary.com Defines
a character in the English morality plays, a personification of general vice or of a particular vice, serving as the buffoon.
Vice:
1) an immoral or evil habit or practice. 2) immoral conduct; depraved or degrading behavior: a life of vice. 3) sexual
immorality, esp. prostitution. 4) a particular form of depravity. 5) a fault, defect, or shortcoming: a minor vice in his literary style. 6) a physical defect, flaw, or infirmity: a constitutional vice. 7) a bad habit, as in a horse.
It is necessary for every American, with becoming energy to endeavor to stop the dissemination of principles evidently destructive of the cause for which they have bled. It must be the combined virtue of the rulers and of the people to do this, and to rescue and save their civil and religious rights from the outstretched arm of tyranny, which may appear under any mode or form of government.

See posting above – Laguna Hills Mall off the 1-5 on Saturday at 10am-2pm. Come on over! No luggage space needed.
I wish we all could go to DC this weekend! Those of us who cannot go should gather at our own courthouses in every town across this great country.
So we now come to the question of “How can mankind be led to Reason and Virtue?” where, for most, the
answer to this question will be less than adequate since we are working to define the principle of Reason
and Virtue to attain Truth such that it can be applied to the concept of governance over people. Since we are
not exploring this concept in detail, and we are assuming that these truths are based on self evidence, it will
be up to the reader to explore the details of the following principles we will explore. But of all the principles
derived from these articles, the following will be the most telling since what we considered to be self evident
during our time in the late 1700’s is now somehow lost among those whom would cheer the advancement of
progress at the expense of liberty and freedom. Where the language does not have the meaning it did in the
1700’s when we wrote the founding documents, because of the progression of time, the language has
changed, but the Natural Laws that govern men have not. Such that there are actually two methods that can
be used to govern the Nature of Mankind such that the Principles of Freewill, Principles of Political Power,
Principles of Conflict and Justice and the Principles of Reason and Virtue are played out within the context of
society. The first method is the one that we have, as Founding Fathers, the most alignment with and that is
the assumption that, as a species, mankind has it within them self the self awareness to make the right
choices given the right environment; and no government has the knowledge to best understand and
implement what a group of individuals need or require to live a life of prosperity and happiness. This concept
of Natural Law is derived from the philosophies of Socrates, Aristotle, John Locke and Charles Montesquieu;
plus many more.9 Where we can articulate these philosophies most closely align to the concept of liberalism
as defined in the late 1700s and early 1800s, but this concept is also known as conservatism, libertarianism,
realism or individualism in the 21st century.10 This philosophy is rooted in the basis of Socrates’ first premise
of understanding that mankind, due to the fallibility of our senses, is ignorant within the context of any
situation and to know the truth of a situation we first must claim ignorance before we can achieve the truth.
In the supposed state of nature, all men are equally bound by the laws of nature, or to speak more properly, the laws of the Creator.
— Samuel Adams, letter to the Legislature of Massachusetts, January 17, 1794
We purposefully left off the name of Plato, not because we disagree with all of his writings and we do not
imply that his impact was substantial in the evolution of the thinking of the western modern society, but what
we witness through his writings and teachings are rooted the concepts of idealism11 which is the basis of the
second method. The concept of idealism manifests itself as the general understanding that mankind, if
educated properly, can obtain a level of knowledge such that one can “know” the truth. This pursuit of
knowledge through reasoning, Plato suggests, is what can provide guidance to mankind in setting up models
of governance. For example, if we have an ideal concept of a King or Queen; we then have an ideal as to
what a serf would be [someone that works the land owned by a King or Queen]. Thus the ability to hold this
ideal, regardless of what might support that ideal, in of itself is a premise for the truth that a King or Queen
might have a divine right to hold power over the serf. The most influential philosophers to idealism include
Plato, Plotinus, Kant, Hegel, and Pearson; among others not mentioned here.
The human heart refuses to believe in a universe without a purpose.
— Immanuel Kant
And here is the prudent observation; the rejection of this philosophy of idealism comes into play when a
group in the 1800s formulated the concept of materialism12 to counter the conceptual framework of idealism.
But this movement from an ideal, such as a King or Queen, to the materialistic point of view on how to
organize social society, [also known as dialectical materialism13] requires this philosophy to also identify an
ideal such as a difference between the ruling classes and the working classes as Karl Marx suggests. This
form of Dialectical Materialism promotes the concept that material forces are causing social and economic
changes to occur which results in one group suffering at the hands of another group. The concepts of
idealism/materialism, from the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, are also known as socialism, statism,
progressive, liberalism and communism in the 21st century. The philosophers that represented the concepts
of materialism include Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Henri de Saint-Simon, Charles Fourier; Ludwig Feuerbach,
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels; among others not mentioned here.
Society does not consist of individuals but expresses the sum of interrelations, the relations within which these individuals stand.
— Karl Marx
Again, as Dialectical Materialism is best represented through a socialistic governing concept, the need to
identify an ideal, [such as how mankind should be organized] still remains. Thus we can surmise that
idealism and materialism, though counter philosophies, are together sitting on a separate branch of
philosophy from what we call 18th century liberalism [conservatism]. Why is this? It is primarily because our
driving prime objective in organizing a benevolent government is the guiding “Principles of Freewill”. And in
both cases, governance from the standpoint of idealism and/or materialism must require the oppression [the
systematic denial of freewill] of some individual, group or class of society. With this understanding, it can now
be clear that the current state of affairs of our society today would be equivalent to a ballet between the two
philosophies of idealism and materialism, with governmental interference on the behalf of big business to
define the economy (idealism) verses the social justice pursued by the government through ever expanding
social programs and the relentless pursuit to define and market the concept of differing classes that consist
of the poor, the working class and the rich (materialism). As this power struggle unfolds the sides hold more
desperately to their idealistic and materialistic philosophies further moving to the negative principles of
Freewill, Political Power, Conflict & Justice and Reason & Virtue. Within this context we find the moral fabric
of the society being led along the line of Reason & Vice instead of Reason & Virtue. In the end, those
individuals that have been educated in the principles of Reason & Virtue and how they support liberty and
freedom are left feeling confused and desperate to align their perceived reality to the reality of the
idealist/materialist. In this world, many things are not aligned, the individual will have an under lying sense
and feeling in life that “something is not right” that “something is amiss” but they are unable to identify it.
It is an object of vast magnitude that systems of education should be adopted and pursued which may not only diffuse a knowledge of the sciences but may implant in the minds of the American youth the principles of virtue and of liberty and inspire them with just and liberal ideas of government and with an inviolable attachment to their own country.
— Noah Webster, On the Education of Youth in America
Sorry to hear the news about your job. Just want to let you know that you are not alone and thanks for keeping up the fight.
Here is the truth plain, and simple.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEhLeYoK__o&fe...
I have this simple saying," the truth will set you free".
So we can finally answer how mankind is led to Reason and Virtue, since the answer lies in an
understanding that the governing environments and institutions that have been justified by the governing
classes, to this time in history, have mainly attached themselves to the philosophies of idealism/materialism
because it supports the negative “Principles of Political Power” where these governing classes support the
growth of power over mankind while supporting an altruistic ideal as a false form of Reason and Virtue. So
we come to the fifth Principle of Reason and Virtue, “With the use of Reason and an idealistic interpretation
of altruistic concepts [in place of Virtue], the government and their associated factions can grow power over
mankind resulting in ever increasing use of political power such that the society degrades into a culture of
Reason & Vice to continue governments’ appetite to maintain and grow control over the governed.” Which
leads us to the sixth and final “Principle of Reason and Virtue”, “A government led by Reason and Virtue,
within the politically motivated governing classes as well as within the governed citizens, will cultivate Liberty
and Freedom, through spirituality [faith], education [hope] and deeds [charity], such that no tyrant or internal
strife can weaken its strength and resolve to protect the citizens of the nation.”
Principles of Reason and Virtue
#1 – Human Character requires the balance of Reason and Virtue
A human whom has character, will have virtue that cannot be without a solid ability to reason and a solid
sense of reason cannot be without the directive intent of virtue.
#2 – Concepts are created and maintained through the use of Inductive and Deductive Reasoning
Concepts and language are formed in the human mind through the use of inductive and deductive
reasoning, such that the use of Reason and Virtue together can form concepts and language that represent
the effective truth in which to make prudent and courageous decisions that result in temperate and
jurisprudent events.
#3 – Fallible concepts can be Reconciled Peacefully with Reason and Virtue
When Reason and Virtue work together, concepts that are created through fallible perceptions that
eventually are not supported in reality and associated truths, can be reconstituted to support the known
reality and newly exposed truths with minimum conflict within the individual, among groups and within society
as a whole.
#4 – Fallible concepts are Reconciled in a Disruptive Manner with Reason and Vice
When Reason and Vice work together, concepts that are created through fallible perceptions that are not
supported in reality and truths, will tend to continue as fallacies causing harm to those whom are on the
negative receiving end of the misaligned concept; with the eventual alignment of truth for a concept, arrived
through fallacy, having a higher than average probability of being exposed resulting in its correction with a
less than peaceful event.
#5 – Idealistic Interpretations of Altruistic Concepts, cloaked in Virtue, can control the Governed
With the use of Reason and an idealistic interpretation of altruistic concepts [in place of Virtue], the
government and their associated factions can grow power over mankind resulting in ever increasing use of
political power such that the society degrades into a culture of Reason & Vice to continue governments’
appetite to maintain and grow control over the governed.
#6 – Mankind led to Reason & Virtue will result in a society of Liberty and Freedom
A government led by Reason and Virtue, within the politically motivated governing classes as well as within
the governed citizens, will cultivate Liberty and Freedom, through spirituality [faith], education [hope] and
deeds [charity], such that no tyrant or internal strife can weaken its strength and resolve to protect the
citizens of the nation.
While the People are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their Virtue they will be ready to surrender their Liberties to the first external or internal Invader…. If Virtue & Knowledge are diffused among the People, they will never be enslavd.
— John Adams 177614
Do something in your area and post a video on youtube. We are doing likewise because we cannot afford to go to DC, but you have to do something.
In all truth, I hope that you are right.
My whole family wishes we could be there. However, we will be there with you in spirit & praying that this debacle of a bill does not pass. It's just a mystery to us why this administration & congress is ignoring the will of the majority of the American people – may God help us. Thank you for what you are doing, Mr. Voight.
For those of you who can't afford to go. Consider this:
Ask several of your friends or relatives to go in with you on expenses. That is what I did last year.
It cut the costs down to where it was affordable. We went almost bare bones, carrying food like in olden times and we all slept in one room in a cheap motel in Virginia and took the metro (or whatever it is called) which was cheap, cheap into DC.
We didn't fly, but we drove in a caravan of three cars packed to the gills with people, supplies and hope and not a small amount of anger.
It was the best thing that most of had ever done in our lives.
Do it.

Thanks! Karen
jon you rock! i would be there if i could but to far away
I WILL BE THERE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOU DO MAYBE YOU CAN MAKE HOLLYWOOD SEE WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS WRONG FOR THIS GREAT COUNTRY!
You all could oppose all you want, but as always God has this country and the Obama Administration to come out on top.
How far away do you want your kids and grand kids freedom to be? It was a long, long drive from West Texas and back but we decided that it was the minimum we could do for our kids and grand kids.
Yes, you can drive to your State Capital or to your local reps office but that will not have the impact of your presence in DC.
I hope that you reconsider and do like I suggested in my previous post and take your friends and family and share expenses.
You may never have another chance at protecting your kids, unless it is by the gun and violence which none of us want, but will not run from.
Papa Ray
I'll be praying. If I could go I would. But fight until the end. God Bless.
Nothing wrong with power to the people, as long as it's the right people.
Yeah but have you considered the distinct possibility that the idea is to crash the system so that elections become a thing of the past?
We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.

Thank You!
I think as long as I am stuck in the "People's Republic of Oregon" I may try to get something together in front of the Federal Building in Portland if somebody else isn't already doing it…
I can't be there in body, but I will be there in spirit. I think the way to really make a statement is to go one step further and stay past our welcome. Shut down traffic and force them to sleep in their offices. Let them know that if they vote for this Obamanation, they won't be going out for dinner and drinks to celebrate. Instead, they'll be fighting over the last pack of stale peanuts from the congressional vending machines. If that doesn't work…..who's got the tar and feathers?
I thought this T party thing was just a temp thing when it started, but it's more fun than
any of my hobbies, so I'm going to drop them & go all in. We may be demonstrating

Thank You!
Go to your nearest Federal Building, that is where you will find the offices of your congressman and senators…
Blockade them!
I was hoping someone would step forward and make this suggestion. Thanks Jon for having the fortitude and vision to lead this cause. This is our last opportunity to have our voices heard before America goes to hell in a hand-basket. DEEMocrats need to hear our voices…millions strong. The common sense message should be START OVER. We all want health care reform, but not at the expense of turning our country into the likes of a third world Cuba. I speak daily to many like minded patriots who are past the point of being fed up with this idiotic performance of this corrupt Obama administration, and so we need to do more. The reason for the growing anger in America has a source. That source occupies the White House and Congress. It is very discouraging that so many hard working, good people now fear that the enemy of our country is our crooked, lying, manipulative leaders in Washington. It may be that we will have to exercise the strength of the people and our constitutional States rights to save this great nation. We have seen without reservation, time and time again, that this administration does not listen to it's people. To these politicians, our voices have no merit and only fall on deaf ears…even those humongous big ears of Barack Hussein Obama, who CHOOSES not to hear us. God Bless America and God Damn Socialism.

I'll be there. Thanks for doing this.
Millions should surround the capitol and put the fear of God into these leftwing sellouts. 3 out of 4 don't want this failed socialist model for their healthcare.
Ironically this entire fascistic process of nationalizing car companies, banks and now healthcare will be the American socialist union party's undoing. Americans have now witnessed a thoroughly corrupt and power mad democrat admin wield power like a dictator controlled banana republic. For those who didn't know before they now recognize the democrat party as the exact creature it has always accused the Republicans of being. Clowns like Hussein and Pelosi laughable insert "it will create jobs" and "it will lower the deficit" into every incoherent rambling they've made lately. Hussein with a straight face said businesses would reduce their costs by 3000% if nationalized healthcare is passed. Did he not even attend high school? Imaging if President Bush said something so preposterous and mathematically outrageous. Every month we're losing jobs and these idiot savants say they'll create jobs. Well, they've spent trillions on a stimulus that hasn't worked yet they expect us not to believe or lying eyes and continue whistling past the graveyard.
These democrat fools are an imminent threat to our national security. They are so far out of touch from reality that it warrants intervention, and that's exactly what's going to be delivered in Nov in the form of a political bloodletting.
God Bless you all. I want to come. I'm in AZ…I'll do what I can.
Can't make it this weekend but will get to DCA about 1200EDT next Sunday. I'll swing by for a few hours to help with whatever is happening downtown; maybe spell someone toting a sign?

I've also thought of this, they may just stall till middle week. Hope there will be some with

AMERICANS DON'T BOW TO DICTATORS!!!
Mr. Voight:
please take General Petraeus and the entire stateside military with you. I am sure that a military coup to overthrow the corrupt cabal in Washington and set things right will be much more fun than waiting for 2 1/2 more years to throw that insane MF out along with the rest of the thugs.
If the dems vote yes on this pos bill; they risk losing their seats and also risk becoming the next sacrifices of Obama and Co. Don't they realize Obama and Co is trying to get rid of them. Why don't they stand up and fight against him. Obama and Co will flush them right down the toilet.
I don't understand why they don't see this. They are completely ruined if they vote yes on this bill.
Can we continue to let liberals take OUR money, OUR retirement funds, OUR banks, OUR homes, OUR jobs, OUR environment? Next on the liberal's list is to make all 30 million illegals become voters to offset the loss in taxpayers. Liberals are already working on it behind closed doors. We must stop this takeover.
The military takes an oath to defend the Constitution, not to defend the President, not the Speaker who are BOTH violating OUR Constitution AND OUR taxpayer rights. What will happen next and when?
Be creative – hold onto your money. Starve the beast.
Not sure on that one yet SJCTeaParty. I hate that boring drive and Searchlight is a major armpit in addition to Harry hanging his hat there. I know we have a good sized group heading that way though!
For sounding so positive you must be commended. My fear is that a military coup led by General Petraeus to overthrow the corrupt cabal will be the only solution after November. I feel it will get much, much worse than what we are experiencing today. Those people are very determined and will have their way….
I had leftover corned beef and boiled veggies (carrots, onions, cabbage, taters) for dinner.
How about you?
Doesn't look like I'm going to be able to make it…BUT….I will be there in SPIRIT!

Could it be any more clear to we citizens of this Nation that those who occupy the Executive
Branch of our government along with the Speaker of the House & the President of the Senate,
are going all out to manipulate the scheduling of this vote in an attempt to take away our mom-
entum. They bob & weave like a boxer, with secret meetings, announcing votes, then canceling
votes, attempting to frustrate our organizing efforts. Please remain patient Patriots, we must
maintain our patience. This vote may not happen until next mid-week.
Don't just vote them out in November. Take away their pensions and their perks and privileges so they will have to get a job like the rest of us. ALSO, investigate any job they get to make sure they don't capitalize on the political time in office which was AT OUR EXPENSE. We must make politicians fear the power of the people, not vice-versa.
I support the SBA (Susan B Anthony List ) a pro-life org.
My sister, a lib, who also works in the healthcare industry, also is in favor of this HC bill!!!
I have argued with her many times over this issue.
If this bill passes I will just disown her, never again will I talk with her!!!!!
BTW I will let her know just how I feel about her, then never again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some truth there Veru yet your numbers are way off – for every 1 person with their hand out, there are 3 of us – we out number them make no mistake.
Mine says "I "deem" Congress to be cowards" (well, they are, for even thinking of "deeming" a bill passed). My other side says "free minds, free markets, free bodies". I also like something about not being slaves to the federal government. Because without choices and with a huge percentage of our money going there, we are not free.
I wish I could be there–still trying to find out if there's a way to do it. I don't know what good one more person would do but I can't imagine looking back at the day and only wishing I could have done more.
One thing the believers can do….

Good one, Missy! That makes a lot of sense! Because only a tyrant would spend years negotiating a bill through Congress that is far less ambitious than most of his supporters wanted in the first place!

Come to think of it, this Congress is the most obscene piece of garbage ever inflicted on this Country also. It's impossible for me to be there physically, but I will definitely be there in spirit. I fought for this Country once and I, for one, am ready to take a stance and do whatever is required to rescue Lady Liberty from the hands of these traitors. Lock and load gentlemen.
I hope they will start a petition to recall everyone that believes deem and pass is appropriate.
I can't be in DC in body but I will be there in spirit. Looks like Barry can't renew his Indonesia passport. also looks like Barry care will not pass,if it does Baracks Long Form needs to be Exposed to all USA Citizens for Treason. What Authority is Barry Dictating our country? Both parents Must be USA Naturalborn-USA Citizenship Kenya USA Indonesia USA. We have a Foreigner with Dual Citizenship & the Dems handpicked Him then Vaulted all records Stamped National Security/Top Secret in USA-Kenya-Indonesia. 2010 Election Clean House including White House. No One Voted For Barry Soetoro Legal name 1964 aka Barry Durham aka Barry Obama aka Barack H.Obama. 2010 Election was Usurped by a Foreigner with Dual Citizenship British/Indonesia Naturalized.
This is the Brave Heart moment when we either stand and fight now, or go home in shame and wish on our death beds we had fought the for Freedom.
I'll be there. How can I not go. If I don't go, I'm afraid I'll be part of the destruction of America. What will be next is the slaughter rule for amnesty, cap and trade, and the Dodd banking perpetual bail outs. These people are literally not on our side.
.
Oh yea, that is for sure One of Millions – don't even get me started on the Amnesty crap, there is NO way that crap is going to go quietly in the night behind closed doors – jeez
The back page coward is back!
Why won't you get an actual Intense Debate account coward?
Why do you only post on the back pages of commentary coward?
Why are you hiding coward?
Get a brain COWARD!
I WILL BE THERE
Lets hope our congressmen watch a lot of survivor and can tell the queen P to her face that they will vote yes, then turn and vote no and do the right thing when it comes time…if we really want to improve healthcare, can't we come up with something simple and easy to understand…like reduce expenses first!!! TORT REFORM!!! Cross state line insurance selling…My brother in law is a doctor and just retired (50) to get away from this mess. While practicing medicine he decided to get an MBA while the Hill-Billies were in office…looks like it has come in handy…The smart and great individuals of our society are NOT going to sacrifice so much for such little pay from the govt.
If Obama doesn't care about process then perhaps he won't care if we just give him the Honduran pajama charter flight in the middle of the night out of the country.
.
WE JUST PURCHASED OUT TICKETS!!!
WE'LL BE THERE FRIDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH NEXT WEEK.
Wish we could clone you, Jon!!! I think you are the only intelligent, sane,caring, generous actor in all of entertainment today with few exceptions such as Kelsey Grammer. You are our hero. Please keep speaking a voice for us in looney tunes Hollywood. Wish myself and my whole family could join you on Sat. Will be there in spirit.
Speaking of cowards…
The back page coward is back!
Why won't you get an actual Intense Debate account coward?
Why do you only post on the back pages of commentary coward?
Why are you hiding coward?
Face it you're just a COWARD!
Mr. Voight, Sir you are the statesman people have been clamoring for! You have the courage of your convictions and the eloquence of a real patriot! Bless you for your selfless actions.
Excuse me, don't come here with your dumb ass comments – glad you won't be there!
I don't normally go to bighollywood, but I had to check it out, interesting thread!!!!!
Graham had to do a retraction !!!!!
Wow , a man who didn't snort and puff his brain into oblivion and can still remember what it is like to defend a purpose other than himself…….extraordinary for someone who has been exposed to the radiational poisoning of Hollowood.
I will pray for all of you Patriots as you make your way to DC! Please stay safe and remember to put away your radar detector while in Virginia!
If there is any way possible to get out of FL, I will be there, but being unemployed for many months makes it tough for us to travel.
Just heard tonight the latest count on Medicare fraud is 30 Million! I think I got the number right, it was something so outrageous I couldn't believe my ears! How 'bout they start there!
DELAWARE WILL BE THERE — ALL 3 COUNTIES OF US
THANK YOU MICHELE & JON
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
I so wish I could be in DC. but I have trouble making ends wave at each other these days, much less meet! I will be there in spirit with all those who can get there. Thanks, Mr. Voight!
Got any room left in your car?
what about carrying those little sprayers with "mace" for defense must be used with restraint and only for defense.
hmmm why am I not surprised…God speed my friend! your in my prayers
I have a logistics question. If someone wanted to drive in from out of town for the day, what is the best way to do that? Where could I park reliably? How would I get in town to the right places? I am assuming that parking in town would be very difficult. Is there the equivalent of a park and ride in Virginia (I'm coming from North Carolina) that would serve the purpose? I've only been to Washington, D.C. once and stayed with a friend in Takoma Park, MD and rode the train into town. I'd hate to get their and waste a lot of time working out logistics and miss things because I didn't know what I was doing.
Yeah? Where the f__k were you when these idiots got elected?

And let’s not forget about the Real One. Serious, serious fire power.
hi kcom, it's pretty easy to park downtown not far from the Capitol. during the march on Washington this summer, I parked in a garage on E St., and it was 1/4 mile at most to walk. it was $10 for the whole day. and i didn't get there until about 1:00, and there was already a mass of people. see you there!
Is anyone from Wisconsin driving out?
[...] Jon Voight issues Call to Arms to Americans to join him at the Rally Saturday in D.C.: I am calling to all of you freedom-loving [...]
It's an 'animal house' quote.
I will call D.C. tomorrow to let them know I can't afford to get there on Sat. and I vote "NO" on Obomacare!
Your comment brings tears to my eyes. You and your 'buddies' will be doing what a lot of us wish we could do.__I'll be with you in spirit.__Thank you for your previous service to our country
If you've got a rosary, then you'll be represented in DC in force–it's the next best thing to being there.
I can't go. I'm penniless from medical bills.
John Voight, you are my hero! Just want you to know there are many of us out here who appreciate what you're doing for our country/republic!
I would like to go. Can't do the 16 hour trip alone. Waiting for a reply from some of my family members and friends…
true that but with the amnt of publicity
it would be more than stupid
then again look who we are dealing with
Hit the road, Jack.
1) they do not work as expected
2) they are more hazardous to the one using it
3) if it hits someone not being a threat you are liable
Karen, if you can travel a bit south (about 45 minutes from Freehold) to Burlington County NJ there are a bunch of us 9/12ers getting busloads together. You can park your car in the mall lot where the bus will pick us up. Go to http://www.meetup.com/912burlco
Just create a meetup account and join the online group. The info will be there. You may also find a meetup group closer to home there that is arranging a trip. Hope to see you there!
Let's Roll
maladroit
I went to give you a thumbs up and hit the thumb down
tried to fix it but it wont let me
sorry
Unable to attend on such short notice. Wish you much success. Perhaps next time.
Obama, Pelosi and Reid do not even realize that the American People are doing them a big favor by shutting them down on Healthcare. It will not pass because "We the People" are letting our voices be heard.
Thanks to everyone who can be there and to those of us who can not, we will be there in spirit!
check on meetup.org for groups that may be getting bus trips together. You might get lucky that way.
You're a great man, Mr. Voight.
hahaha, God and democrats!!! Why would God want anything to do with the democrat leadership who try to remove him from everything in this country…When they come to him he will say "Depart I never knew you!" I think the democrat leadership has left the democrat party! Remember Ronald Regan was a longtime democrat! But considered one of the greatest Conservative presidents ever…They just keep moving left…The Republicans are what the dems were maybe 20 years ago…This earthquake (nobama) will shift people back to their senses.
Take no prisoners. Let the siege of Washington begin.
I am seriously considering coming, as this week is my spring break so I can take the time and not be missed, but I have never done anything remotely like this before and am not sure how to go about it or what I will need. Could you please email me oreoexpo505@sbcglobal.net with any tips you might have, so I will be better prepared?
Thank you!
Anyone who can't make it to DC should gather at their local Court House, That shouldn't cost much time or money!!!!
Mr. Voight,
I just bought two tickets for my son and I to come from Atlanta and join you! I'm so excited! We must stand up and stop this mess!!
We'll see you Saturday, Sir!
The only thing transparent about Madam P is her Lies! I think she might even believe them? Now that is scary!
Maybe all businesses should shut down and/or all spending cease for that period of time!!! There is more ways to make a statement than one!!
Didn't you guys just try this a few days ago and only manage to collect 300 people?
Why are the ones who don't believe in laws, making laws in the first place?
DemoKKK-RATs hate God, or didn't you get the memo?
Will anybody be there on Sunday? I have a dozen people that can go onSunday, but not Saturday. I think the vote will be on Sunday…anybody know if anything else will be happening that day? 12 patriots from NC…anybody else?
Don't worry, nobody will be there Saturday either. Your little tea party is over.
Wow, not sure why your yelling at me, I did my part! To answer your unnecessary question – I was here, writing and calling and talking to people – urging them to listen to FOX which was the ONLY news telling us what this losers history was, so knock it off with the shitty attitude.
Drive around Sat. and Sun. With your headlights on,Get this to every body you know call radio stations ,What ever ,We can stop this!!!
ha ha, keep wishing and hoping – it's all you got left
Thank You, Mr. Voight! You give us hope! Something Obama NEVER could!
I'll just use my high heel shoes – that should do the trick
I just made my plane/hotel reservations. It was a hard choice to go by myself, but then I thought of the sacrifices that went before me…
Brianna, check this site http://table9chat.com/ several of us made the trip 9/12. I will not be able to make this one.
God willing, I plan to be there, you bet!
Ditto. I usually don't jump on many banwagons but THIS one … it hurts like crazy not being able to go. Thank you to all who go and to Mr. Voight for putting his name and face to this cause.
about 8 or 9 of us from http://table9chat.com/ met there Randy
HOORAH! Give them hell for me, too! I wish I could go, but CA to DC is a bit of a drive! LOL!
LET'S ROLL!
Thank you sooooooo much for standing up for the right thing!
I wish I could be there.
We need more brave people like you.
Keep up the good work!
Amen, brother!
There are few events that can be declared life altering….this is one of them. As Pearl Harbor altered humanity so to has 9/11; these events are equal, in that, they've changed how Humans think. These next few days may bring yet another event in an attempt to change how Americans think. God Bless America!
"……. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor."
I pledge the same, my brother.
Randy, I was there, too on 9/12 I should be somewhere in that picture, too! I can't make it either. But I'm going to try and contact the people at our local Tea Party and see if we can put together something locally.
Careful… I hear there is an amnesty illegal immigration day planned for Sunday. Barack Hussein Obama's next agenda item… After all how else could the catholic hispanic caucus change to yes votes?
The problem is these two parties are bought by the insurance companies, and we will never get the reform we need. Our healthcare for profit is disgusting… PUBLIC OPTION!!!!
Sandi, I will be at the State Capital with my 2 young adult kids who are getting stuck with the tab. Perhaps you could join us?
cd111054@yahoo.com if you want to get in touch.
Anyone going from Long Island?
I'll be there. Thanks for letting us know. If there is more to do I'll help.
Government is a necessary evil. But… Americans have been lulled into believing that ours is "different" and really, really, really, loves us & wants to take care of us.
Who ever it was who invented the television… you sir (or madame) had no consideration for the consequences of your actions.
I'm a Vietnam vet and I can take him or leave him. Your friends died in a vein? Really.

John, when you speak on Monday, read 'e, this:
" There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free–if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending–if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained–we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us! They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength but irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable–and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.
It is in vain, sir, to extentuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace–but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! "
"We know the Race is not to the swift nor the Battle to the Strong. Do you not think an Angel rides in the Whirlwind and directs this Storm?" John Page
We will hang together, absolutely!
No dear, that was 200 people showing up for Obama in Ohio.
Its a national disgrace. The Nancy Boys ( male Dmocrats in Congress) have shown what they are made of. We must put every ounce into repealing this crap and punishing those who disgraced themselves. There may be a shot at repeal because the only thing that kicks in soon is the friggin cost of this crap.
Since this could be considered a civil rights matter, should we expect the REV RUN Jackson to be in attendance?
Brother while you were slogging through the mud of SE Asia, another group was oozing out of the mud of Yasgur’s Farm, and what we have now is the Woodstock nation in charge. These blithering beatniks have not a clue about anything except, “what’s in it for me?” …and I don’t mean in a Free Market type of way, but what they can pilfer from another free citizen. ‘60s radicalism must be ripped out by the roots and destroyed if our Republic is to survive. I was a counter culturist, Carter cured me, maybe Barry will have the same effect, now who will be our Reagan?
Ditto.
Harley,
You are a real patriot. I'd love to go too, but I'd have a 17 hour flight. I'll definitely be there in spirit.
A true patriot you are

I can't be there because I'm dirt poor, please deliver a six word message on my behalf if you will….
WE WILL NOT BOW TO TYRANNY!!!
I can't be there because I'm dirt poor, please deliver a six word message on my behalf if you will….

Thank you Mr. Voight..please BEWARE OF PROGRESSIVE PLANT.
I will be leaving in my car with a couple of buddies after work on Friday. We are going to drive all night, taking turns at the point and grabbing shut eye in the car. We feel that this is part of fulfilling our oath, even though we are no longer serving, that we took to "Protect and defend the Constitution of the United states against all enemies foreign or domestic." Semper Fi, This We'll Defend, Aim High, Anchors Away! Who is with us!? LET'S ROLL! FIX BAYONETS! CHARGE!
I so wish my significant other & I could join you, Jon. We're stuck in Southern Cali-Boxer-ville. If you have extra space in the luggage compartment, let me know. I'll wedge myself in.
Please deliver this message on my behalf…
AMERICANS DON'T BOW TO KINGS!!!
People must fight this as long as possible because soon as the commies in office jam this health crap into law, behind closed doors they have been working on making millions of illegal aliens into Americans and want those 20-40 million Mexicans as obama voters for mid term and also 2012.
This weekend they are busing in thousands of illegals to D.C to demand rights.
President Barack Obama, facing criticism from advocates of immigration reform, pledged Thursday "to do everything in my power" to get immigration legislation moving in Congress this year.
Obama said work on an immigration bill should move forward based on an outline released Thursday by Sens. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.
"A critical next step will be to translate their framework into a legislative proposal, and for Congress to act at the earliest possible opportunity," Obama said.
The outline calls for illegal immigrants to admit they broke the law, pay a fine and back taxes, and perform community service if they want to get on a pathway to legal status. They would also be required to pass background checks and be proficient in English.
"I congratulate Sens. Schumer and Graham for their leadership, and pledge to do everything in my power to forge a bipartisan consensus this year on this important issue so we can continue to move forward on comprehensive immigration reform," Obama said.
Obama's statement and the senators' outline were timed for release before a march and rally Sunday that is expected to draw tens of thousands of people to Washington to press the administration and Congress for immigration reform.
Immigrants and their supporters have grown frustrated as the Obama administration has continued to detain and deport immigrants while immigration reform remains dormant. Obama had promised to make it a top priority in his first year in office.
Hoping to temper the percolating discontent, Obama held two separate meetings last week with grass-roots immigration leaders as well as Schumer and Graham. The president assured the leaders at the meeting that he remains committed to reform.
Obama met Thursday at the White House with Reps. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., and Solomon Ortiz, D-Texas, the sponsors of a House immigration bill. Gutierrez said later he agreed to vote for Obama's signature domestic bill, health care reform, only if an immigration bill advanced quickly and with a presidential imprimatur. The Congressional Hispanic Caucus also endorsed the health care bill.
"I'm committed to voting for this health care bill on that basis," Gutierrez said. "I want the president to be in lockstep with us, which I believe he was during the campaign."
White House spokesman Reid Cherlin said there was no quid pro quo involved in the White House's dealings with Gutierrez.
"Congressman Gutierrez is a longtime leader of the reform effort on the Hill, so of course they've had many conversations about it, and they'll continue to," Cherlin said.
Other parts of the Schumer-Graham outline include:
—Giving legal permanent residence to people who graduate with doctoral or master's degrees from U.S. universities.
—Adopting zero tolerance for illegal immigrants who commit crimes and expanding enforcement of immigration laws.
—Creating a flexible legal immigration system that brings in more low-skilled workers when jobs are available and fewer in a recession.
—Requiring all U.S. workers — citizens and legal immigrants — to get fraud-proof Social Security cards with a biometric identifier.
Those who vote in favor of this bill, whether it passes or not, will be remembered as the ones who signed a death warrant for America.
Hope all those media types can afford mondo security, as I think they will be
in danger once this shakes out, either way. They shirked their responsibility
as the unofficial 4th branch of government. I don't think they will go quietly.
But they must go.
The United States is the only Western country without a national health plan for its citizens, and all you numb skulls posting here are against it. Yet, millions of Americans are either not covered by any medical plan, or go bankrupt when they get sick. Yeah, 'the land of the free', alright. Your second motto should be 'dog eat dog'. I sure bless my luck to be born in Canada and not down there.
You got it, Missy! Will do.
Oh yes…the gloves are about to come off! Time to take it to these non-representing representatives!
Did anyone notice this article on Big G today? 12. Obamacare may pick up two more votes after CA water deal
What is next? The gov steals your water, and in order to get it back, you have to do x,y.z? The direction is really scary folks…… which I'm sure I don't have to tell most that post here. First, the water, and the land and our natural resources….the list goes on and on. They are doing it right before our eyes. I'm so glad to know that so many are aware and are speaking out based upon the comments I read here.
The Wikipedia Entry States:
Reason is a human mental faculty that is able to generate conclusions from assumptions or premises. The meaning of the word "reason" in this sense overlaps to a large extent with "rationality" and the adjective of "reason" in philosophical contexts is normally "rational", rather than "reasoned" or "reasonable". The concept of 'reason' is closely related to the concepts of language and logic, as reflected in the multiple meanings of the Greek word "logos", the root of logic, which translated into Latin became "ratio" and then in French "raison", from which the English word "reason" was derived. Reason is often contrasted with authority, intuition, emotion, mysticism, superstition, and faith, and is thought by rationalists to be more reliable than these in discovering what is true or what is best. The precise way in which reason differs from emotion, faith, and tradition is controversial, because all three are considered to be both potentially rational, and in potential conflict with reason.
2 Virtue (Latin virtus; Greek ἀρετή) is moral excellence. A virtue is a character trait or quality valued as being always good in and of itself. Personal virtues are characteristics valued as promoting individual and collective well being. The opposite of virtue is vice.
3 Dictionary.com Defines
Reason:
1) a basis or cause, as for some belief, action, fact, event, etc.: the reason for declaring war. 2) a statement presented in justification or explanation of a belief or action. 3) the mental powers concerned with forming conclusions, judgments, or inferences. 4) sound judgment; good sense. 5) normal or sound powers of mind; sanity. 6) Logic. a premise of an argument. 7) Philosophy: A. the faculty or power of acquiring intellectual knowledge, either by direct understanding of first principles or by argument. B. the power of intelligent and dispassionate thought, or of conduct influenced by such thought. C. Kantianism. the faculty by which the ideas of pure reason are created.
4 Virtue:
manly excellence; valor.
1) moral excellence; goodness; righteousness. 2) conformity of one's life and conduct to moral and ethical principles; uprightness; rectitud. 3) chastity; virginity: to lose one's virtue. 4) a particular moral excellence. 5) a good or admirable quality or property: the virtue of knowing one's weaknesses. 6) effective force; power or potency: a charm with the virtue of removing warts. 7) virtues, an order of angels.
In selecting men for office, let principle be your guide. Regard not the particular sect or denomination of the candidate – look to his character….
— Noah Webster, Letters to a Young Gentleman Commencing His Education, 1789
There are 2 "i told you so's" in your future.
1) if this "monstrosity" passes and the national debt gets bigger (which it will)……. I told you so!
2) if this fails. ……………………I TOLD YOU SO!
Indeed I do not. In recent years, God's ways have become more mysterious to me than ever. I have always known that I could never hope to achieve in this life a complete understanding of Him — but recent events have driven me to the conclusion that I have not even the beginnings of an understanding.
I don't know what's going on, and I don't know why He lets it go on. All I know is He better not let it go on too long… what was the saying? "Let there be war in my time, that my children may know peace." And this Congress and this President have shot that one to hell — by the time they're all gone, they will have made it certain that our children will know no peace, no security, nothing but anguish and strife and a struggle every day for a dollar that the government won't take from them. And they'll have been brainwashed into loving Big Brother for being so beneficent and generous as to not take away everything they have.
Thank you so much, Mr. Voight! Although I can't be there, I will certainly be there in spirit and will be watching Fox News all day, from Oregon. I hope you get tens of thousands of loyal patriots to back you up. Good luck!

Storm OUR federal buildings, take back OUR government!!!!
Thanks for doing this, Jon. For those of you who can't make it, see you at the polls on November 2nd.
Looking forward to another road trip to DC…Our bags are packed will pull out in the morning!
I wish I could be there.
Society has been desensitized to the realities of what is good and bad. Time for us to wake up and reclaim that good moral fiber from which this Great country was built upon.
Minnesota is on the way!!
Go Jon.!!!!!
At least there is someone in Hollywood, of celebrity status, that has some common sense, brains, and morals, that will speak out and support the American People, instead of bashing and trashing the American People, like the far left liberal radical extremist Main Steam Media Trash Tabloid idiots of MSNBC, etc. and so on…
Obama and Pelosi, and their forces of Evil, have declared war on the American People, and the American People are fighting back.!!!!!!
agree CC, we shall take power in Nov, then we will be at our Congressmen's backs with our
pitchforks to make sure they give up a large percentage of their perks. Our fight will not end in Nov,
as we must roll back a great deal of BS law that already exists.
May God richly bless you Mr. Voight..you are a true patriot. I really wish I could stand with you in Washington this Sunday but that is not possible. I will be there in spirit.
Thank you for the work you are doing.
That is a most excellent point and suggestion!
And even if there are a million people there, the MSM will ball park it at maybe 5000 people – hey the cartoon network has higher ratings than the MSM, I wonder why?!
"This is an unprecedented abuse of power and abuse of the Constitution. This is the result of a government with no fear of the governed so unless you plan on "storming the castle" and dragging these crooks kicking and screaming into the streets you will accomplish nothing." I totally agree with this statement!! You said it right on! Except for one thing…. The last time I felt this was two years ago…when Bush was in office.
Wish I could be there… will be in spirit and praying for you. Thanks, JV!
Let's Roll!
See you all there. I'll shout at least once for everyone who can't make it and bring your prayers with me.
Thanks to John for there is still a patriot who realizes what is happening

I was really looking forward to spending this beautiful Saturday working in my garden, but this is too important. I will be there. My elderly parents, who live in Georgia, literally threw some things in a suitcase today and are driving up so that they can be there.
And we wouldn't want you sir. The interesting thing is – why would your government officials come to America for the healthcare? Because we have the best docs and surgeons and no one, even illegal immigrants can legally not be accepted into hospitals. do your homework.
If you read this story but can't go to Washington Saturday you can help by FedExing a tea bag or something to one of the clowns there in Washington. It's a way to be there without being there. Rush suggested this on his show so alot of people are going to do this. Use FedEx not UPS… FedEx is not union. If you think this is a good idea help this get viral today around all the blogs and radio shows. Thank you.
I've wondered if they haven't already done it in the middle of the night and are just stalling in an effort to gain support for their criminal behavior.

Truly, I'm amazed at the lies, subterfuge and palaver that corporations tie up neatly into fake populism. You should all consider that you drive on socialized highways and have a socialized national defense. What kind of rationing is worse–the kind where you wait for an elective procedure or the kind where a corporation denies your right to care because you cost them too much? The bottom line is–the government does something and we suffer a little in the short run. Or option b, the one you all want–do nothing–and we all descend into oblivion.
It's called powerr and control. Eventually, only minorities will be able to receive loans for college from the government and you will only be able to get loans from the government for college. Unless your mega-rich
Thanks for the email information. I have tried emailing out of state and found it hard since my calls don't go through or the voice mail is full. I have had success at FAXING though. Fax them all too.
well you got four more years of paying for more medical bills and FINES.
from what I saw on TV it sure looked like more than 300 there Not hardly,…..
but than some of only see what we want to see.
Stay up there.
You don't like it? Leave.
There's no arguing with a mindset such as yours.
The main point is this: In this country, we have a constitution, which enumerates the powers and duties of the U.S. Government. Please don't strain your brain while trying to wrap it around that concept.

Those of us that are unable to attend should, at the very least, light up the congressional phone lines this Saturday. We must remind, even those already against the bill, how much we don't want the democrat version of health care reform/management.
Yes and we are the only Western nation that all other Western nations go to when they need REAL important health care.
Don't worry there Ashamed Canadian,,….. if you ever need major surgery,…..
we'll leave the light on for ya.
Oh, how I wish I could be there!
I hope it works- but the left is not logical about anything- and I think they're going to do this even if it means the end of the democrat party. I hope most of America has woken up to the true nature of the left now.
I don't know if it will do any good- I wrote a song called 'workn for obama' you might find entertaining if not a little enlightening.

I will be there with photos of the so-called blue-dogs from my state, Altmire, Carney , Holden and Dahlkemper. How Mrs. Dahlkemper, a mother of five , can support a bill which allows for taxpayer funded abortion on demand is beyond believe. I guess party power is more important than innocent life.

You're probably correct there which is heartening I suppose but what do you do when they will no longer listen to the majority? We've beecome a tyranny of the minority with a docile majority that's unwilling to do anything beyond holding signs. Don't get me wrong I've attended these rallies many times and will likely be attending many more but you can see it in the faces of the people there, we know we don't matter to them and they are not afraid of us.
I wish I could be there as well, but I have to work to pay for the freeloaders. They aren't going to listen to you. At this point, they will only listen to the barrel of a gun.
I've met Jon Voight personally a few times, and need to tell you all personally, he's one of the sweetest, most generous people around (let alone in Hollywood, which wouldn't be saying much).
He took the time out of his day to not only read a screenplay of mine when I was a wet-behind-the-ears writer, but also to discuss it with me at length over the phone, offering advice and encouragement.
He's a class act, God bless him.
Yes, there are park-and-ride lots at all the suburban Metro (subway) stations.
"Our healthcare for profit is disgusting"
I'm sure you also think that farming for profit and homebuilding for profit and clothing manufacturing for profit are also disgusting.
Marxist twit.
Like the Hitler family, the Pelosis will have to change their name after this.
Oh, Jesus. So you're trying to argue that since all the Cool Kids are doing economic heroin, we should start shooting up too?
You miserable worm! You are actually, inconceivably, shamelessly *proud* of being a sponger, leeching off the productive rather than providing for yourself. Shame on you.! Thank God you're not an American- we already have too many spoiled greedy children who think like you.
You should also bless your luck that, should you ever develop a serious medical condition, American healthcare is available next door (as your gov't officials plainly know).
"you drive on socialized highways and have a socialized national defense"
Christ, you are an idiot. Does your Golden Children's Dictionary have entries for "general" and "individual"?
"option b, the one you all want–do nothing–and we all descend into oblivion."
Nothing like a little hysterical scaremongering, huh? Oh, and the sleazy "corporations" dig- as if Big Pharma , the insurance industry and major corporations aren't backing this Corporatist turd all the way.
You're not an American,. Get the fuck out of my country.
Mr. Voight,
You are one of the few in hollywood willing to stand for liberty, and against the tyranny of big government.
It's too bad our government won't pay us to show up…like they do for SEIU and ACORN.
Lucky for me, I do believe in miracles
I wish I could be there.
Good luck you guys and stay safe!
I would like to send Mr. Voight a copy of my book, The Obama Timeline. Does anyone have an address that will ensure he receives it?

I wil be there. Just booked my hotel and am driving in from Detroit. I have never done anything like this in my life.

You can make soup out of almost anything. And if you package it correctly, you can probably get it down the throats of millions of people, kinda like a health care bill.
What the government is doing trying to ram this health care bill through.
Maybe the only thing that will stop this is snow. So I will pray for LOTS of SNOW.
You are amazed because you are either a fool or a communist shill. I refuse to be accountable to the permanently government dependent and their union thug buddies. Do not try to change my America to suit you. In fact you may want to leave before enough people wake up to what is going on. Health Reasons ya know.
I truly wish I could be there…Kudos to you Mr. Voight and anyone who gets out there!
Give em hell my patriotic friends!! God bless you all!!
God Bless you for your courage, your character, and your conviction, Mr. Voight!
Unlike the congressional democrats whose yea votes will be the death knell for America's greatness as personified by the precepts of the Constitution of the United States, you have not abdicated your moral values.
On behalf of the millions of Americans who are unable to attend we will be there to stand together with you and other patriots against soft tyranny!
Mr. Voight… I LOVE YOU! You are REALLY ARE a GREAT AMERICAN!!!
I am a disabled American, and I would love to join you, However, this past week my house was flooded due to the heavy rains and snow melt last weekend. We are not even supposed to be in a flood zone! ANYWAY, I AM WRITING THIS TO ALL WHO ARE COMMENTING:
I cannot make it to DC, but I would love to. I BEG every person who wrote a comment on this site that AGREES with Mr. Jon Voight, TO GO TO WASHINGTON DC!!!! I cannot go, but I WISH I could. It's just not possible. It's hard to clean a flooded house when you can barely walk. BUT NONE OF YOU HAVE AN EXCUSE. I BEG YOU TO GO TO DC THIS WEEKEND!! There are MANY people who AGREE WITH MR. VOIGHT, so I ASK AND BEG you TO GO TO DC ON MY BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF THE thOUSANDS HERE THAT HAVE BEN FLOODED AND CANNOT MAKE IT!!!
PLEASE!!!!!! GO TO DC!!! PLEASE SPEAK ON MY BEHALF, AND ON BEHALF OF THE 12 PEOPLE IN MY FAMILY!!! PLEASE GO TO DC!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!
So awesome. I hope many will go to this effort.
I am in Champaign, IL, so if anyone else from that town happens to see this and want a ride, I could use the help driving.
Problem is, they think they're the parent and WE'RE the child.
Wow, you're starting to sound like John Galt.

Thank you!!
WHY would anyone TRICK VOTE for a nationalized healthcare system that reduces your chances of illness / accident survival? Hellooooooooooooooooooo? and makes you pay to abort someone elses baby? Demonic intentions all the way through.

The guilt is on those who vote AGAINST health care reform as every day thousands of Americans without health care insurance die. You don;t care about them then care about your pocketbook, each iinsured goes to raising health care fees and insurance premiums. Those who selfishness and ideological priorities over the American public are the ones who are destroyting the democratic process and America.
pres Obama healthcare is against article 1 section7,aarticle 1 section 8,5th,10ttth admenments and ite comerce claus of our conatiytution
constitution! over 20 states will suit the federal goverment do to Obama healthcaree bill
Will still go bankrupt you fool, this bill has provisions for direct access to our bank account,
with 16K new IRS agents to enforce the provisions of the bill. Instead of selling our house
or property to pay our debts, the government will confiscate same, just a more direct approach
to the same end. Keep feeling lucky until you or a family member needs treatment disallowed
in your system, you won't be coming here for treatment any longer.
Cee- do you understand what the mandates are in this bill? Did you know that the labor unions are tax exempt for 8 yrs and the rest of america has to make up for their costs? as soon as their are any mandates or buy offs for votes, as we should call them, that changes the whole scenario. It isn't about the uninsured, it is about control and power. Please WAKE UP, check into the mandates. Do you not think if there were absolutely 0 mandates (buy off for votes) in the bill so many more people would be for it?

Uh oh! I have just caught word of over 400 coming on buses from just the Columbus, OH area. I know that there are also at least four other major patriot groups mounting up from here in Ohio too. Several are also going on their own, some have just packed up and left…….GOD SAVE THE USA.
I'm flying down to DC in the a.m…. I hope to see many of you there.
When I read what you said it reminded me of all that I have lived thru, I remember where I was on each of those terrible days, and I remember the day when my son called an told me he was leaving for the gulf war, but couldn't tell us where, I remember watching the war and praying that we would be showed a sign; as to where he was, it wasn't until he was home, or coming home that we knew for sure where he was, and when he came home it was a day sent from God, and for this to all go by the wayside, and start unraveling, yes I can say we have come far, and it is far enough, we have got to stop all of this, we have got to sit up, and be counted, no matter how or where we are, we need to take back our country, and stick by it, we can't forget what is happening and what we the people can do. Yes, support you have ours, mine my whole family. See you there, or where ever, we are needed. God bless this country, and everyone in it. Those that are willing to stand up for what they believe, and for those that believe but can't stand up, we are here for you. I feel the rumble, and I hope everyone else can feel it too.
Hey CEE! Thousands of people WHO HAVE STINKIN' INSURANCE DIE EVERYDAY TOO YOU DUMBA@$!!!!
The intentions of expanding Governement's power are the issue, it was NEVER ABOUT HEALTHCARE from the word GO!

Thank you for serving my country. Yea this time now is just unbelievable. Did you see the interview with
Bret Baire on Fox. Obama just out blatantly said," it did not matter to him how this bill got passed". This is
insane at the least. Think people, this is the man saying this whom holds the highest office in this land.
Does this not scare us to death? He does not care about our constitution, our laws or or founding
fathers. It's all about him.

I think you meant "Allah."
Jon Voight – You are a Great American. Obama's party of treason is locked on destroying our country, our constitution and everything we hold dear. Obama and Pelosi were solid as a rock Communists in their college days and the press refuses to print the tresaons they have committed are are commiting. George Washington hung people for doing less than they have done in destroying America! Most of us that have served our country in the military will be behind you. If we get some press, we need to remind Americans about HR 1388 passed vy Obama and the party of treason where they are spending 23 million of taxpayers monies to transport Palistinian terrorists to the US including purchasing them homes! Look it up, it is a fact!
Never done anything like this before….but I have had enough. Getting up early to drive the long haul to DC.

Than we become them
The supreme court ruled in Roe v. Wade that individuals have the right to privacy and can not be forced to undergo any medical (pregnancy) condition with their bodies that they choose not to. By virtue of this ruling setting legal precedent and in conjunction with the US Constitution Equal Protection Clause, no person can be forced to undergo any medical condition with their bodies that they choose not to. You can't force anybody to have pro abortion insurance or pro life insurance, just as you can't force anybody to have medical insurance. Our bodies, Our choice. Rights are given to you by GOD. They can't be taken away. I am free to say what ever I want. No one can control that. It does not matter if I am in Communist China and I publicly denounce that government. NOBODY HAS THAT CONTROL. Their can be consequences in China where Man has replaced GOD, the Government is the Church and they censor people who speak out against their absolutist and evil government by re-educating them, jailing them, or killing them. BUT THEY CAN NEVER CONTROL YOUR ACTIONS OF SPEAKING. They can punish it, but they can't control it. That is one of the principals of Locke and those of us who are Enlightened. You belong to a class of people who argue against Enlightenment and thus wish for a ruler because you are to weak to take control and responsibility of your own destiny. When rights can be given to you by man, you have replaced God with man, and you worship at the Church of the State and kneel before your Government Gods. "Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s” You and your Unenlightened Progressive Worshipers wish to change to the saying of the prophet of both Islam and Christianity with a new saying, "Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and unto God nothing because they are Caesar’s” You have false idols, as the religions of Islam, Judaism and Christianity all state and agree upon, and your Hubris will lead to your downfall.
We need to remember that our founders staked everything they had on freedom – time, health, honor, safety, and their MONEY. I was thinking about that today, and it reminded me that they staked everything. What will we really do to save our country?
I will be there!
Thank you Mr. Voight for your patriotism! Let's rock DC to it's foundation and shake the riff raff out of the Congress and OUR WHITE HOUSE!!!! Let's roll……..God Bless America! Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave…FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM!!!
I never thought our country's leaders would go against the rule of law and pass sweeping reform without respecting the intent of the Constitution. I sincerely hope this can be stopped by leaders recognizing their mistake and changing their vote or by challenging the validity of the procedure. Certainly, it would not have even had the possibility of passing if it had followed the precedented, traditional process. The question is, if this becomes the new standard procedure, than all new progressive legislation will follow suit and our system of checks and balances will break down, paving way for more corruption. The American people need to unite to change this system of corruption and bring back the rule of law our country has enjoyed since its inception. Those who can, please show up in Washington, D.C. In the meantime, we need to pass a constitutional ammendment that disallows reconciliation procedures from ever happening again. Who knows? Maybe after the November election, we can pass this ammendment through reconciliation! LOL

I wish you all the best, however I think it is too late to stop what is happening. I left the US over a year ago and now live in the Philippines because I could not live in a socialist nation. This expansion of federal government is not new.As a historian I study factual historical events and I consider the first real damage done to our constitution was by Abraham Lincon. Lincon had already made it clear the south could keep their slaves he did not want any new slave states added to the union. The civil war was not about slavery it was about the expansion of the federal government beyond its constitutional bounds. Our constitution has been under vicious attack since that time. Most people do not realize why the 2nd amendment is in the constitution but it was so states and citizens could control a federal government that our founders new would bend to greed of power. I think what our founders did not count on was a people who did not care until it was so far out of hand. As I said I wish you luck but these socialist will not go down without a fight and I don't think the American people are up to the challenge. I mean you were crying about Iraq not that long ago. Iraq is a war that in 4 years we had something around 3000 casualties. If you had asked any American general ever, from Patton to Bradley if they could sustain a war effort for 4 years and only sustain 30,000 casualties they would have been overjoyed. I think the American people have lost the spirit of who we are and where we came from. Over 50% of people surveyed in the US said we should strive to be more like the UK or France basically saying they would like to align with the EU. I left my country because I just don't believe that there is much more than a bar fight left in the people and it will take a lot more if you want to defeat these people.

Too bad the rest of Hollywood can't understand whats at stake. I think Tom Hanks and others should have to go live in Venesuala for a couple of years, at least. Then come back and tell us how wonderful Socialism is. Thanks again John Voight. God bless you Sir. And May God Bless America.
A Friend,
Am I missing something but I thought there would be a lot more coverage from Fox Nation or fox news.com… I've been searching but all I can find is somebody holding a camera streaming inaudible audio. I'm very disappointed, maybe fox news is streaming something as I don't get fox news, unfortunately… I also thought Shawn Hannity, Rush, and Glenn Beck would be present on Saturday.. Just very disappointed as they were the ones getting everyone excited about a rally and from what I've seen there isn't many people there.

Mr. Voight..I used to love you as an actor years ago and am sorry to see you have gone wacko after hearing you for a few min. on the hateful and terrible Mark Levin's show and now seeing you are teaming up with Michelle Bachman…a woman who needs to get out of the Congress before we find out she is totally crazy..not 95% as we do now!

My Dear Mr. Voight, I have been a fan of yours for many years. I love you for being such a strong Patriot. Where are your colleagues on this most important matter. It is the most important that has ever been brought before Congress. We were warned amny years ago that we would “fall from within.” He (the author of that quote) had it right. What can we expect when we willfully and wholeheartedly elect a Marxist joyfully whom hardly anyone had heard of? I know I had never heard his name. I didn’t fall for his rhetoric of “Hope and Change” either. I kept telling my family and friends he was not telling us what to hope for nor was he talking about what he was going to change. That is until he ran up against Joe the Plumber. I actually think he didn’t expect that to be aired. I think, had he put thought to it, it would not have made national TV. This is the deadliest man ever to sit in any seat in Washington, DC let alone serve as President of the greatest Nation on Earth. It WAS the greatest. Past Tense. We have been sold lock, stock and barrel to Communist China. Folks they own us. We had better wake up and read all we can about what is really going on out there. They have plans for the elderly (anyone past 69) and the ill. They have no fewer than six (6) camps set up in ex-military bases to house the disidents. That might not be spelled right. They have REAL plans for those of us who are true Patriots. Obama will set himself up as America’s first Furor. Mark my word. Please research what is REALLY going on behind the scenes. God Save America.

if a terrorist wanted to DESTROY the USA he would lie his way to get elected to the government.Find out its strengths & weaknesses. Lie his way to become President and then destroy the greatest nation in the world 1YEAR & LOOK AT WHAT HE HAS DONE
"GOD FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY'VE DONE" lynsyn58
HELP!!!!! HELP!!!!!! PLEASE someone who has the power. Please find a way to honestly prove he is not an AMERICAN citizen.
This proof would get him booted out of OUR WHITE HOUSE>
WHAT WOULD JESUS WANT US TO DO???
America is tearing itself apart and unless we realize it, and think … really think… deeply about who we are listening to … and how we need to do our own thinking … and research and homework… and understand that there are those out there who have their own agenda. Maybe they just want to keep us from growing as a Nation.
Violence, name-calling and ignorance are not Christian… CHRIST WOULD NOT APPROVE!
The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.
One of the greatest writing ever written in such a great time of need and perfectly describes our currentl plight. Thank you Thomas Paine.

You are wrong. I grew up in Europe before moving to the US. The healthcare system is horrible. You have to wait for hours to see a doctor, months for any tests and if you have something serious you sometimes die before they even find out what is wrong with you. You are very misinformed about the US healthcare system. True, not everyone has health insurance. Some can't afford it, but most do not have it by choice, because they prefer to spend their money elswhere. If you are sick, you will be treated REGARDLESS of your ability to pay. There are things that need to be improved about our healthcare, but half the problem is caused by our government. Because the government pays so little on Medicare and Medicaid claims, hospitals and insurance companies have to charge the rest of us more money. The rates are getting so high that fewer people can afford insurance. Putting the government in charge of the healthcare system will only make it worse, not better.
I'm not even going to bother commenting on the rest of your ramblings. Doesn't whatever country you're from have their own problems you can concentrate on?

Mr. Voight, I am surprised and pleased to see this type of thinking from a "celebrity". Not popular to be on this side of things. Very brave. Thank you.
Hi Jon – Enjoyed your visit with Governor Huckabee, and your moving letter to Americans. We're in a tough spot, and I believe strongly that Obama is trying to figure a way to impose martial law and suspend the fall elections. I am not a nut, but he is so radical that this is not as far-fetched as it seems. This would give him the 'right' [in his mind] to kill any talk of any opposing view point – they never thought it would happen in Venezuela.
The only criticism I had of your interview was that you call him 'President.' Those two words should never be used together. Kind regards, Jim in Austin.

Evanescence are actually a lot better than both those two
Oh Jon Voight ….I used to think you were a "celebrity person" FOR THE REGULAR PEOPLE…..you just blew my high opinion of you & your acting career out of the water ! I am so sick to my stomach with you pandering !
Shame on you ! Who is paying you ?
Thank God that your daughter is NOTHING like you !
I am using my free speech here. I am so sad because I held you high a celebrity.
Thanks for the information! My husband and I are looking for major changes and this website just might be the tipping point we needed!
