GOP House Call II Rally at Capitol -- Pictures and Video

I returned just a few minutes ago from the House Call II rally at the grounds of the US Capitol, held by Reps. Steven King and Michele Bachmann, who were joined by other GOP reps.

There was a much smaller crowd than was there Thursday, but many who were from states close to the DC area turned around and came back.

I'm currently uploading video of some of the speakers. Here's some photos until then.

The 2,000 page Obamacare bill, after one Congressman picked it up and threw it off the podium (video below).






Opening comments by Rep. Steve King:




Rep. Michele Bachmann




Rep. Joe Wilson, who received probably the loudest applause. The crowd chanted "Thank You, Joe" before he even said a word.




This Representative said his vote wasn't just "No" but "Hell no!" For Virginia District 11 citizens, he noted that Rep. "Jihad" Gerry Connolly annouced his support for Obamacare, even though he doesn't like the taxes.




At the end, the bill was rolled out by Rep. Pete Hokestra and others, to get an idea of how massive the bill is. This is a three part video.








Attendees who showed up at the rally today were allowed by the Representatives gathered there to go up in the House gallery so Pelosi and the liberal Democrats could "look you in the eye" when they vote on the bill.

Should the bill pass the House, the Reps. and Tea Party organizers are planning to have more "House Calls" of the American people on Washington during the conference meetings with the Senate.
