   “A protest has been scheduled for Rep. Dennis Moore’s office (D-KS) in Overland Park, KS on Sat. the 21st at 10 am in response to his support of the Stimulus Package.”

   Perhaps a truckload of lupins could be delivered to his office, in honor of the Monty Python skit that bears his name.

   This porkulus will do about as much good as the lupins in the “Dennis Moore” sketch did.

   When die-hard communists around the world are laughing at the excesses of the Democrats, you know hell has frozen over. The electoral process is totally broken down and corrupted. The best solution is to sue Congress, force them into an extended adjournment until the economy can heal itself.

   Spitting into the wind? Maybe, but at least they’ll know the people are fed up with their incompetence and lunacy.

   Rep Joe Courtney (D) Connecticut 2nd district is having a town hall meeting on Saturday in Westbrook CT at the library.
   Very nice of him to hold it on a day when many of us who have to work to pay the bills for his YES vote to Porkulus will be able to actually attend.

   Thanks to all of the protesters out there! Reddog I love your idea. How can we sue Congress to make them do the wishes of the people? They forget who is boss!!

   Finally, a protest I can attend and you better believe, I (and as many of my neighbors as I can gather) will be there – camera in hand.

   And why isn’t this making the news. . .even Fox to my knowledge has not shown any of these protests. I love the gimme signs and the porkulus protesters

   Yep!

   Dennis Moore was robbing “the rich” to give to “the poor”, right?

    That’s my old stomping grounds! I have a brother that lives in Shawnee, but he’s a Kool-Aid quaffing Lefty. I have some friends in the area I can contact to encourage to go, though.

    I hope there will be more details posted here as I’ve made the announcement on my blog and since we are short on details, told them to watch here for more information.

    Also already called 5 neighbors and asked them to spread the word. Will now call more!

    Who here is in the Milwaukee, WI area? I’d be willing to organize something either in Milwaukee or in Madison (which might be more fun, considering it’s a hotbed of liberalism)…

    Okay, Kansas and MO news media has now been alerted. Let’s make this a news worthy protest.

    Michelle, are you sure you won’t drive down and join us?

    Hey Katablog, Mr. K and I live just over the state line. We plan to come over ‘as filler’.

    On February 19th, 2009 at 10:38 am, katablog said:

    Thanks Gladz – This protest should indeed be for all people, not just Kansans. The message is simple: our Representatives did not represent “We the People” when they voted for this huge increase in government.

    And a special message to Schumer: “We the People” do care about PORK.

    I am not the organizer – don’t know who is and hoping to hear soon. But I will support this with everything I’ve got. There hasn’t been much that “We the People” could do, since our representatives refused to hear us, so every single chance we have to be heard should be used and should be very loud and very clear.

    katablog,

    I’ll be there and have sent an e-mail to Chris Stigall at KCMO 710 (great conservative radio personality here). My guess is that it will be at Dennis Moore’s office here:

    8417 Santa Fe Drive #101
    Overland Park, KS 66212

    Is anyone organizing a protest for Southern California? I know we may not last long enough for Obama’s “stimulus” act to gut us, but I’m angry and I won’t take it any more!

    Yep.

    The tune and some of the words are from the “The Adventures of Robin Hood” TV show starring Richrad Greene, the reruns of which I used to watch in the early 60s.

    Robin Hood, Robin Hood
    Riding through the glen

    Robin Hood, Robin Hood
    With his band of men

    Feared by the bad
    Loved by the good

    Robin Hood,
    Robin Hood,
    Robin Hood,

    Don’t ask why/how I remember occasional things like this….

    Great idea to take the protests directly to the local offices of the Congressional Reps! We all have a Congressional office within convenient protest range!

    Many, many thanks to Libety Belle for starting this grassfire and to Amanda and others for picking up the ball across the country!!!

    WDAF TV has already replied to my email requesting exact location (which I provided along with a google map. I contacted Shannon & Parks, KCMO, FOX4, and KCTV.

    Sure would like to hear who is organizing this.

    Miles,

    Could you think up two clever signs? I got zero protesting skills.

    After the election, I developed a case of Tourette’s, so that might come in handy during the chanting portion of the event.

    Darla Jaye on KMBZ 980 will be interviewing me at 6:05 tonight. I really appreciate all the help getting this rolling. I’m just a homeschooling mother of two who got fed up on Saturday. I decided to turn my frustation into action. Thanks for the help and the support! Also Darla Jaye will have examples of signs on her website if anyone needs ideas.

    Ah yes, perhaps a quick contest is in order for the KS signs with the winners getting to see pictures of their signs at the KS event.

    I was thinking:

    9 million irresponsible get $75 Billion
    41 million responsible get – the bill (with an arrow point up to the $75 billion).

    Please give us your ideas. Time is short.
