LIVE: People’s Surge vs. ObamaCare 2.0

Posted on Comments



UPDATE 10:42 a.m. ET: Smitty reports that he just saw the Washington Post‘s Bob Woodward — of “All the President’s Men” Watergate fame — covering the Capitol rally. Somehow, “Woodward and Smitty” doesn’t ring quite like “Woodward and Bernstein,” but . . .



Activists chant “Kill the Bill!” under supervision of Capitol Police

Smitty on the scene via Twitter at 9:40 a.m. ET:

Smitty is on the scene at Capitol Hill for the People’s Surge, sponsored by FreedomWorks, and we will have more photos shortly . . .

There is also the Code Red Rally at 10 a.m. at Taft Park.

Michelle Malkin has a post about the rally.

NBC has coverage of the rally, which is also being covered by liberal blogs HuffPo and TPM. Here’s an interesting headline:

House may try to pass Senate health-care bill without voting on it  

Nice trick, that.

  5. Fantastic! Let ’em have it. I can’t be there, but let Jim McGovern (MA, district 3) that voting on this bill goes against the wishes of the people in his district (we went overwhelming for Scott Brown).

  27. Stacy: You’ve got to use your trademark inventiveness and come up with a better term than The People’s Surge. It reeks too much of Leftism. They’re always using the term ‘peoples’ and it’s variants in their organizational names.

    You know: The Popular Front For The Liberation of this and that, The People’s Republic Of…., The Populist Worker’s Party, The People’s Front Of Judea, The Judean People’s Front, The Popular People’s Front [splitters!].
