    Democrats plan hundreds of reform rallies

    Faced with a souring public mood on health care reform, Democrats and their supporters are launching a national grassroots push Wednesday to show lawmakers that the majority of Americans still support overhauling the system.

    Reform supporters are planning to hold more than 500 events between Wednesday and when lawmakers return to Washington Sept. 8, ranging from neighborhood organized phone banks to professionally staffed rallies with hundreds of people.

    The Democratic National Committee and its grassroots arm, Organizing for America, are helping to organize the effort along with the Health Care for America Now, a group pushing to create government-run insurance plan.

    “In these last few weeks of recess we want to demonstrate the energy, passion and commitment that the American people have to health insurance reform so that when members return after Labor Day they know that they can turn their attention to getting this done because they have the backing of the American people,” said DNC spokesman Brad Woodhouse.

    How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.

    It's going to be rough busing all those folks around the country. Since only the paid and the stupid will be allowed in.

    You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.

    Kinda makes you wonder if the MSM will be reporting the AstroTurf meetings the Dem's are having.

    What was I thinking...it's called grassroots organizing if your a Dem.

    Idiots, why don't they try listening to what the American people are saying???

    2010 is going to be an eyeopener for the Dem's if they ignore their constituents.

    Thats exactly what I was thinking when I saw the article just now. Not only were all the signs mass produced, they looked exactly the same

    Seems like they would have been a little more creative than that!

    Then you look at the crowd at the town hall's and you know it is from the heart of the person carrying the sign.
