Operation Can You Hear Us Now -17 October 2009

Mark the day - Oct. 17th, 2009

Take time to exercise your 1st Amendment Right to peaceful protest.

I'm sure your local media ignored local Tea Parties to a large extent. Well, why not take the party to them, NATIONWIDE, around the NATION?

It would be good for them to see up close and personal just how many of us there are out there! www.operationcanyouhearusnow.com

There is no doubt that the majority of participants on this blog are conservative. However it is wise to know what other groups of concerned Americans are thinking. . .if only to re-enforce your thinking. I'm still proud that the 'march' was peaceful! It's just too bad that the fringe groups get all of the attention - and not the sincere participants who were there with valid concerns.

The reason for this event is because most of the main stream media reports only the news that supports Obama. 2 million Americans went to D.C. to tell Obama & Congress to stop spending so money. The March on D.C. was organized and orderly.What news outlet covered this story ?
Very few. Good journalism is dying. Eventually Pulitzers for investigative reporting will go to bloggers. Anyone organizing a trip to CNN 17 October ?

It was 70,000 not millions! Stop fooling yourself.

As to who covered it, it was all I could see for days on TV!
The signs were horrible---monkey faces, Nazi signs, etc.

Die out quickly.

I don't know if you're Black or White does that still make me a RACIST?

How do you live in your little deluded world? The LOWEST current estimates are 250K the Highest is around 1.7 to 2.4M

Using the same formula they used to revise Jeff's vaunted "Millionman" march of 6 people per cubic meter.. That’s a 3 foot by 3 foot square.. (Just try to get 6 adults into that small space..) the estimates rise to the 1.4+ Million mark. That's using the DEMS OWN FORMULA.. But even at the lowest estimate you are a fool and it shows by trying to use a number that even the most ideological minded will not use now.

Please go ahead link all those pictures showing all those Nazi signs.. You know you are truly pathetic.. Go on live in your little blind myoptic view world.

I am afraid those who attended the mess in DC are now on film (disk) and will be used for future rabble rousing investigations.

When one associates them self with every rebel looking for a cause so as to get publicity, they get it.

The crowd was swarming with nazis, nazi haters, welfare haters, tax haters, birthers, red-neks, out of work developers, and law violators
who try to get away with every violation of which they can think.
It wasn't much different from the "million man black march" which was full of similar disparities and women.

They aren't fighting Great Britain as were the Boston people, they are fighting their own elected government, and as a minority at that.
Close to treason.
Do it with the vote.

To continually argue over the number of participants and possible racist participants is not a wise use of time - one should be spending their time contacting their legislator with their concerns regarding the healthcare bill. You're being used!! A bill is forthcoming - will your concerns be addressed? Lots of deals are being made. Will your legislator do whats best for you - or what's best for his/her election prospects? Of course in this state - the legislators have their marching orders - DON'T SUPPORT OBAMA. Will that action make the 'south' a winner? What will 'spending cuts' do for the farmer in Georgia? How will health care improve in Georgia? Just asking.

The latest version of "healthcare reform" is the Baucus bill in the Senate. So far, the most moderate of Repubs-Olympia Snow-says NO, but so do most progressive liberals like Jay Rockefeller and the most important detractor, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. The opposition is hardly limited to Repubs or even "conservatives" and that bill is DOA. Progressives hate it, conservatives hate it, moderates aren't wild about it. Howard Dean called it the "worst piece of legislation in history"

It appears to me the legislators are indeed listening because there are parts that appeal to one base or the other, but the sum of these parts isn't good enough to garner widespread support. An artificially-imposed time frame(got to do this in an off election year or the voters throw us out) for passage has killed any meaningful chance of health care reform.

WH is trying to convince a lot of Dems that passing health care reform will improve their chances of re-election in 2010. Repubs are betting the exact opposite. Repubs have history on their side of the argument and aren't going to budge. It's only a matter of how many Dems will defect and side with the Repubs as to whether even the smallest of "reforms" passes. Or, everyone takes a breath, shows some patience,and goes back to work on something significant for next year....oh wait, that's 2010, an election year, and that means the Dems won't want to be anywhere near this issue then.

Nuk.. You are very correct. If this is not done this year..watch how this will be dropped for the 2010 elections.

Bonkers, prove your statements with evidence i.e. signs.
CNN covered it after the fact so they could put their "Event had racial " overtones spin on the event.

The opportunity for another change will come in three m ore years.

We might do well with a red-nek, open racist, uneducated, foreign hater, as our President---who knows?

So, our former one-term-wonder, Jimmy, the comic strip character, the village idiot, declares "racism" is our motivation for opposing socialism. ("Let it be written, so let it be done") It is fun to watch a failed, dictator-coddling, loser like Jimmy Carter melt down. Hopefully, the Emory students are smart enough to realize how desparate the facists are these days. Would someone please tell this irrevelant joke of a president we really don't care what he declares. He can say whatever he wants, but please tell him we are laughing in his face. Seems like his family would seek some professional help for the old fart. We are just sad he is from our great state of Georgia.

He must have touched a guilty nerve, GA does have the most racists these days but Carter isn't one of them---never was.
