Remember In November - 9/12 Rallies Today Across America

[red states rule]

I am sure the liberal media have already written their "news stories" as people across America come together to protest the liberal agenda of Obama and the Dems






Former Republican House Majority Leader Dick Armey’s FreedomWorks organization and several Tea Party groups from around the nation will descend on Washington, D.C., Sunday for the 9/12 March on Washington to show their disappointment with President Barack Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

Hundreds of thousands of Tea Partiers are expected to participate in the march, which starts at the Washington Monument with a prayer from the Rev. C.L. Bryant, then heads down Pennsylvania Avenue, past the White House and Freedom Plaza and over to Capitol Hill.

At Capitol Hill, various FreedomWorks leaders, including Armey and the organization’s President and CEO Matt Kibbe, will join local Tea Party groups, conservative leaders and conservative media personalities on stage to promote conservative values.

Brendan Steinhauser, FreedomWorks’ director of federal and state campaigns, told The Daily Caller that the march is a targeted political rally,

“It’s one final reminder before the election for Americans who are rejecting big government and the leadership of Pelosi and Reid. We want new leaders,” Steinhauser said. “This is a very political march.”

Not a bad turnout in DC for the rally





On Sunday, for the second year in a row, former Republican House Majority Leader Dick Armey’s FreedomWorks organization hosted a 9/12 March on Washington in Washington, D.C. The focus of this year’s political rally was on the Contract From America, a plan FreedomWorks has been asking politicians to sign and pledge to follow. The Contract is aimed at reducing spending and government involvement in people’s lives.

“It always boils down to one thing: we need to get the government to understand its limitations, reduce its size and reduce its burden on the economy,” Armey said.

Houston Tea Partier Ryan Hecker wrote the Contract From America and told The Daily Caller he’s amazed at all the people who came out to the 9/12 rally, even though it was a rainy day in the District.

“It’s incredible [to see all these people out here],” Hecker said. “It just goes to show that we’re going to stand up for what we believe in and that we’re not going away.”

FreedomWorks President and CEO Matt Kibbe estimated the crowd size at around 100,000 Tea Partiers, a crowd smaller than last year’s march, something he said may be partly attributable to the fact several 9/12 rallies were going on simultaneously nationwide and that Fox News personality Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally was held in Washington at the end of August.

“There’s 9/12 events all over the country today, and, in a lot of ways, that’s the ultimate success, because we want folks to bring it back to local communities,” Kibbe told TheDC. “But, we still have north of 100,000people here. This is a big crowd of people.”
