Taxpayer March 3/20 - Part 2, at Rayburn Building

As said in the last posting, many of the attendees tried to get into the Rayburn Building, but were barred from so doing.  I guess those of us who don't worship at the feet of the Messiah Most Miserable and his Prophetic Teleprompter are persona non grata.  Watch and hear them as they queue up at the doors, down the steps and along the walk.



The rather inglorious ending was me taking a rather nasty tumble off the curb, where some landscaping was in progress.  I was helped to my feet by some very nice people from Nevada (they came all the way from there).  In return for dusting me off, they asked me to alert all of you that they are doing their best to rid the country of Harry Reid in the elections this November.  I am all too happy to relay this message on their behalf.

You may have noticed that some are at the Rayburn Building, and some of us remain on the north side of Independence Avenue.  We were blocked from coming across.  You'll hear the chant, "Red rover, red rover, let the patriots cross over!"



Now you'll hear us cry out "Nancy!"  Oddly enough (ahem!), she did not reply!  Hmm..  Could it be that she was - avoiding us?  Even if she was, she (or her staff) heard us in the street.



I haven't finished processing all the video that I took yesterday.  There will be more to follow.  At the time of this posting, I have not heard a final word from the Capitol, so I continue to pray, and to invoke the intercession of the recently-deceased Father Paul Marx, founder of Human Life International.

Taxpayer March 3/20 - Part 1

I attended what I could of yesterday's rally.  I got on Shady Grove metro (red line) for the worst ride of my life.  It was stop and go (mostly stop) in Montgomery County - taking over 1.5 hours to get to Union Station (others with whom I talked at the rally had similar experiences).  I arrived at the Capitol at 1:45. 

Bear in mind as you watch these videos that most folks had less than 48 hours notice; yet the crowds still turned out.  When I took these clips at my late arrival, doubtless many people had already left.  In a later part, I'll show you some of the posters that were carried, displaying a depth of understanding of the issues that must cause no small amount of consternation to the Messiah Most Miserable and his puppets.   Here's what I saw as I approached.



The crowd was quite enthusiastic.  One man led an impromptu chant of "kill the bill" (you'll hear that chant frequently).



Here you'll see some folks and signs just after the last person ended (I missed most of the speeches).



After that, some marchers attempted to get into the Rayburn building to meet with their representatives.  They couldn't.  You'll see that drama in the next posting.
