We Surrounded Them (Updated 7/11)
On July 9, 2009 MoveOn.org sent their orgs to the Federal Bldg in downtown Raleigh, NC to hold a rally in support of Socialized Healthcare. The Federal Building site was chosen because it is the location of Senator Hagan's Raleigh office.
The goal was to give speeches, wave a few signs, chant a few chants, garner media attention and convince Kay Hagan that MoveOn.org represents the people of North Carolina.
They Failed.
Their speakers had to yell at the top of their lungs to be heard - their voices were drowned out by patriots. Bystanders and passer-bys had to stand on tip-toes to see their signs - they were surrounded by the signs of patriots. There were no MoveOn chants - if Kay Hagan was watching, she heard only the chants of the Tea Party:
"One Term Hagan, One Term Hagan, One Term Hagan "
And there was no media. MoveOn had no media allies to record their lies of 'Public Option Affordable Healthcare'.
The orgs also cannot truthfully claim superior numbers. The Tea Party patriots outnumbered them 3:1. And when they left, they did so only by passing through the throngs of patriots.
Right-Wing Extremist were the last to leave the battlefield.

We also need to get at least 10,000 sigs on a petition.
Please email me.
Please supply an email address and I'll be happy to sign your petition and provide assistance with your protest development.
Of course, I'll READ it first! I'm not a congress critter that signs something that I haven't read!
I had an awesome time at the party yesterday (as seen by the pictures).
I was just curious if anyone knows of any such events that I can attend in my hometown of Fayetteville? Or a contact for that matter.
I plan to attend other parties in Raleigh as well. Just let me know. I have other patriots that want to participate in these much needed parties.
Thanks for the invite Bubba!!!!
Oh ya, can you please change my address on the cc list to include the one given instead of the work address. Although I heard they raised the unemployment benefits, hehe.
Thanks,
KENCO
