Join Us In Pittsburgh Tonight!

by Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN)

I wanted to let all my friends in Pittsburgh know about a great opportunity that will be happening TONIGHT!

Several members of congress will be appearing live via a video town hall at the Four Points By Sheraton Pittsburgh North, from 7pm – 9pm. I encourage everyone in the surrounding areas to show up and join us. We will be discussing the latest that is happening with the liberal takeover of health care.  I will be joined by some of the bravest members in the house, including Steve King of Iowa, Louie Gohmert of Texas and Todd Akin of Missouri.

Lets send a message to Washington, America does not want this legislation! This is the final push, and I hope you can join us tonight!

Thousands Attend Pelosi-Care Protest: Ten Arrested at Capitol Hill Sit-In

by Helen Rittelmeyer

Special to Big Government from Helen Rittelmeyer, The Daily Caller:

Capitol Police arrested ten people on the second floor of the Cannon House Office Building at a sit-in this afternoon.  The demonstrators had crowded into the office of Speaker Nancy Pelosi with a print-out of the health care bill, intending to tear up the bill in protest.

“It was a mess.  There was paper all over the hallway,” said Jeanette Beam, who traveled from Georgia to join the protest.  “They took a little old lady away in plastic handcuffs.”

The arrests, which happened a little before three o’clock, prompted plenty of chatter but little surprise.  Earlier in the day, an organizer with a megaphone had explained the plan for the sit-in.  “The police know we’re coming,” he announced.  “No one has to get arrested if they don’t want to.”

The protesters were part of a crowd of 10,000 that gathered on Capitol Hill to protest the Democratic health care bill.  The “emergency house call” was initiated by Rep. Michele Bachmann and organized by Americans for Prosperity.

Bachmann greeted the crowd from the Capitol steps: “You came.  You came to your House.”  When her remarks were interrupted by a chant of “Kill the bill,” Bachmann joked, “Oh, don’t hold back.  Tell them how you really feel!”  She continued, “Kill the bill – that’s exactly what you’re going to tell them.”
