   Anyone know of anything planned in the Atlanta area? Would have to be quick. After the bill is signed, it seems sort of pointless. I have no idea how to make it happen, but am willing to help.

    Whoop-dee-doo, a protest, after the bill has been passed no less. Where were these protests before the Congressional votes? Where was the outcry then? Where are the voices still proclaiming the unconstitutional nature of this bill? “Conservatives” are truly the politically inept segment of the so-called Republican party.

    Bravo, Liberty Belle!

    We all need to learn how to set these rallies up across the country!

    The Porkulus Bill is just the beginning! We are going to need to be able to organize rallies like this on short notice for issues coming up on the horizon like: Fairness Doctrine, Gun Rights, ILLEGAL Immigration and Socialized Medicine.

    Our rallies will become more and more effective with time. The liberals have been protesting for decades. We need to learn how to be just as vocal and visible!!!

    If we don’t learn how to do it now, it will soon be too late!

    Seattle TV stations – Nothing

    Wait, there was a protest covered in Seattle:

    About 100 union members, state employees, school supporters and health care providers rallied on the lawn of the Capitol telling lawmakers to stop the budget cuts to health care and education, and prevent tuition hikes.

    Step right up, getcha pork right here folks!

    Sierra Hotel Liberty Belle! It appeared to be a pretty good turnout of conservatives for being in the liberal loser unwashed anarchist capital of the United States. Considering many have jobs and other responsibilities even on President’s Day the 50-60 brave souls that showed appeared to be having a pretty good time. Of course the traitor obamamedia will never cover this event (nothing to see move along).

    Since we can’t count on the media covering our events (yet!), we must:

    1) Bring digital cameras and video cameras to each event to get pictures to send to the media and to post on the web (including YouTube).

    2) Have many people call the media both before and after the event to ask them to cover the event and then to ask them why they didn’t.

    3) It would be good to have a fact-based 1 page hand-out at each event to help educate people who pass by and to give to the media.

    4) Spread the word as far in advance as possible and bring all of your friends and family. Large crowds are more likely to be covered.

    5) Develop relationships with local media, so you have credibility when you call to tell them about an event.

    Anything we can do to make it easy for the media to cover the event, will increase the chance of getting coverage.

    Succotash is a native American dish that is healthy and delicious. Just because that pinko Sylvester the Cat defiled its good name with his little “catch phrase” does not mean you should all drink his Kool Aid and give in to Succotash Derangement Syndrome.

    Your song selection is perfect! “Too Much Pork For Just One Fork” is a great theme song and it is catchy too!

    Bring some patriotic music, too! It will help to attract a larger crowd.

    At some rallies I have attended, it has also been helpful to hand out a sheet of the words to the patriotic songs, so that everybody can sing along with gusto! You would be surprised at how many people don’t know the words to our patriotic songs.

    More to the point, where was the outcry days ago, weeks ago, when this whole issue came about? With exception to the very few items that fall under the enumerated powers, this entire bill is/was unconstitutional. Why wasn’t this discussed? “Conservatives” chose to argue the merits of the bill, or lack thereof, in terms of economics, health care, energy, etc., all areas chosen by Democrats, rather than going to our founding document, the very thing that makes us a Constitutional Republic, to argue the case against this bill. In the end, “conservatives” have done nothing more here than make a little noise which will only draw more attention to the fact that the U.S. Constitution means nothing to them either.
    These protests are too little, too late, grounded on poorly made arguments. In other words: ineffective.

    And for BroBama’s visit to Mesa, Arizona this Wednesday-aka Obamination Day:

    Hey Everyone,

    Since Obama is going to be in town this week, there is going to be an sign and banner painting party tonight to do the “Its Not My Debt” signs and put them all over Phoenix with an emphasis either on Mesa where Obama will speak on Wednesday or at the All Stars Game where he will attend.

    The only requirements are to bring food and/or a willingness to work.

    Help is needed and if any of you are interested, you can contact Ernie Hancock: ernesthancock@cox.net who will give you the time and location of this project.

    WOOT WOOT!!!

    Just back home now! What an event. There were actually at least 100 people there (I know because I collected email addresses) so don’t listen if someone tries to say there were only 50.

    I’ve posted some reflections on my blog, and I just really wanted to say two things here:

    1. Thank you Michelle Malkin. You are a true fighter, and an inspiration to me. Thank you for the pulled pork and the continued support. You are such a good person.

    2. This was a huge moment for Seattle conservatives. If you have ever thought about trying to put something together like this in your city or town – JUST DO IT!!! I can’t express to you enough how simple it really was, and how thankful people were to have a way to show how they felt. It only takes one person. Let me repeat myself: it only takes one person.

    Hey – I just called King5 here in Seattle to ask why they haven’t posted info on our protest but did post a story on the Olympia protest. I asked if they weren’t aware of ours or if they just didn’t think it was worth the coverage. She replied that they knew about it, but it was at an “awkward” time… I wonder if she meant awkward as in ideologically different from my own views.

    Anyway, if you feel like it, let’s call and give these local stations a hard time for not even posting a mention of it – that’s how they maintain their stranglehold on the country:
    KING5: (206) 448-3850 or (800) 45-NEWS-5
    KIRO: (206) 728-7777
    KOMO: 1-TV-TIPS-KOMO (1-888-477-5666)

    Send_Me, where would you like to be sent?

    Iraq, Afghanistan, any place where I can bring terror upon those who use terror against us, but, if you’re paying, I’ve always wanted to go to New Zealand. The pictures I’ve seen are amazing.

    You’ve made three posts deriding Conservatives in particular.

    I most certainly have. I’d write more, but you probably get my point. I notice that no one has proven wrong what I’ve said. Sometimes the truth hurts.

    If you have a problem with us deciding to take a stand now, that’s really just your problem.

    You can wear plaids and stripes to work tomorrow for all I care. Your “taking a stand” in the fashion you mention will be just about as effective as that, since the timing and content of the arguments used by most against “porkulus” are all wrong. Here’s a wake-up call to folks here: neither the President nor Congress care what you think. The reason? You make up an insignificant portion of the voting block. It’s assumed that you will vote Republican or not at all, no matter the candidates. You aren’t a threat to the Democrats or the Republicans. Democrats don’t think about you because they know you won’t vote for them. Republicans don’t worry about you because they know you won’t vote Democrat and won’t “waste your vote” on a third-party candidate. How do I know this? Two words: John McCain. Most here hated the man, but figured he was the “lesser of two evils” and voted for him anyway (or stayed home). “Conservatives” didn’t have the guts to vote for a “conservative” candidate, so the status quo continues.

    What exactly have you done about the Porkulus situation..?

    Written letters, emails, and made phone calls to my elected representatives in order to make them aware to the unconstitutional nature of this legislation. I also wrote and called many of my friends and relatives to explain the same things to them and encourage them to write and call as well.
    On a side note, I’ve also taken the time to read the Constitution, to learn about cultural Marxism, the art of war, and the current state of affairs of this country. I also based my vote on principle and voted for a third-party candidate in November.

    “Succotash is the worst invention of a culinary nature.” You must have had Ham and Mammies when you were in. That makes Succotash a culinary delight by comparison.

    LOL

    Well hot damn. I am impressed. And, for all that, we’re still screwed. Thanks, Send_Me.

    Now, how about organizing something? We need all the help we can get.

    We need to reclaim Constitutional government in general, and this is an encouraging first step!

    But we have to get people upset not just about corruption and waste, but about the Federal government overstepping its bounds as though it were an unlimited national government. We need people on the streets seething about the existence of the Department of Health and Human Services.

    This is an excellent start, but remember: the point of limited government was in part to limit the damage it could do to private citizens. It isn’t a problem with the specifics of the current system, the people and culture, it’s a problem with the entire system!

    Until we can recognize our government by holding the Constitution up as a mirror, it is an illegal fraud.

    I wish I were back home in Nashville–I’d definitely be out there. (I protested against a state income tax w/my dad when I was 12. ^_^)

    labwrs, have you tried contacting Steve Gill about this? If he’s heard about the protest plans, I’m sure he’d give you some info, and if he hasn’t, he could really get the ball rolling and make sure there’s a good turnout.

    Well folks, looks like our government has contracted the worst case of “Suey Fever” ever. The symptoms of this is to spend everyone elses cash as fast as you can.

    p.s….I -I mean the crowd- would prefer ribs and chopped bbq.

    Blasphemer! Good barbecue is pulled, not chopped. It stays moist that way.

    I’m starting to understand how the average Venezuelan feels.

    Hopeless leadership and a fawning press. Example, John Harwood of CNBC/NBC on right now making excuses for the Obama early “stumbles”.

    The fools can’t see he took down America as we know it in less than a month in power.

    If the menu said “pulled pork”, I would have gotten that. Unfortunately, it says “chopped bbq.” You take what you can get in RI.

    Sadly, the only thing that might get us out of this self-immersed cesspool is an inescapable war (exactly the same as what snatched FDR’s fascist ass out of the fire 70 years ago).

    Where’s Osama when Obama needs him? Appearing at a nearby “theatre” soon, one would have to hope.

    Please note that the signs are spelled correctly. Also please note the complete lack of effigy hangings, flag burnings and Che t-shirts.

    You can tell it’s not a left wing protest.

    Mike Huckabee coined another name for the porkulus bill on his show this past week:

    Congressional
    Relief
    Action
    Program

    The same theme as MM’s but has an “official” ring to it.

    I’m waiting for a barbecue chain to offer up a Pork Sandwich named in honor of this pig in a blanket of a program.
    Maybe it can be dedicated to Schumer, Pelosi, and Reid.

    It could be named something like the “Schumer Swine Sandwich” or the “Pelosi Pig Sandwich” or the “Harry Pig Sandwich”.

    Thank you, Michelle for reporting on this demonstration. We would not have heard about it unless we lived nearby! As Hannity likes to say, “Journalism in MSM died in 2008!” After they shut down talk radio, we bloggers are next!

    Oh, you guys should calm down – at least Ann Coulter still suppors all of you:

    “Coulter spends the better part of three pages defending a group called the Council of Conservative Citizens (CCC), which The New York Times had described as a “thinly veiled white supremacist organization.” Coulter begs to differ. The CCC, Coulter opines, is “a conservative group” that has unfairly been branded as racist “because some of the directors of the CCC had, decades earlier, been leaders of a segregationist group.” “There is no evidence on its Web page that the modern incarnation of the CCC supports segregation,”
