Aplogies to the below two posters. I didn’t see your posts until this evening, 11/6. We’d have loved to have had you along.

14 of us went to DC yesterday to make our feelings known about this “health care” bill. We departed Indiana about 0630 am and got back about 8pm.

We drove to Rockville, Md. in 2 vans, one graciously donated by fellow Too-er Tom Smith. Mario Alexander rented the second van when it became apparent that one would not be enough.

From Rockville we took the Metro transport into DC where we joined thousands of other patriotic Americans who want this government to slow down, do things correctly, live and govern within the parameters of our Constitution and to STOP spending our money as if there is no end to it.

The weather cooperated and we listened to dozens of speakers as they told us they heard and empathized with our concerns. The speakers included many congressmen, senators, celebrities and political commentators who hear your voices and are fighting to address you concerns. Included among them were Congressmen Michelle Bachman, organizer of the event, Joe Wilson (of “you lie” infamy), actors and concerned citizens Jon Voight, John Ratzenberger (Cliff Claven of “Cheers” fame) and political commentators such as Mark Levin, author of the best selling book “Liberty and Tyranny”.

While we did not have an opportunity to individually call on our respective reps and senators due to parking restrictions back in
Rockville (we had to get back before the lot closed, long story), we witnessed long lines of other rally attendees waiting to personally address their respective legislators as we made our way back to the Metro.

It was a great trip and I would do it again in a heart beat…….it’s little enough to do to make the point that we want our country and our government back…….to make the government remember that which they seem to have forgotten or choose to ignore, which is that they work FOR US , not the other way around.
