Thousands, likely in quintuple-digits, showed up to protest the impending passage of government-run health care.  I was pleasantly surprised to see just how many made it to DC on such short notice on a weekday.  People, and in particular the grey-haired brigade, are fired up. They spell electoral trouble for the Democrats.

Speakers at the events included Rep. Michele Bachmann, who hatched the House Call idea, conservative radio host Mark Levin, actor Jon Voight, Rep. Mike Pence, House Minority Leader John Boehner and Rep. Eric Cantor, amongst many others.  The crowd was prone to chanting “Kill the bill,” with the occasional “Naaaaaancyyyyyyy” taunts aimed at the ever-oblivious Speaker Pelosi.  We also did crazy, liberal-maddening things like recite the pledge of allegiance and sing the national anthem.

I snapped a handful of pictures:

Update: Now with video

More individual speaker videos will be added as I find them, but the entire event is viewable on C-SPAN.
