Betsy McCaughey, Mike Pence, Stephen Baldwin to Speak at 9/12 ‘Tea Party’ March on Washington
Thursday, September 03, 2009 at 11:17 am
The full agenda for the Sept. 12 “Tea Party” march on Washington is up at the event’s Website. Co-sponsored by FreedomWorks and a constellation of conservative and libertarian groups, the event is heavy on local and D.C. organizers and light on Republican politicians. “No one who supported TARP will be on that stage,” said Brendan Steinhauser of FreedomWorks on a morning conference call. Steinhauser and other organizers expected “tens of thousands” of attendees, rolling into town for an agenda that begins with some small events and training sessions on Thursday and Friday.
The members of Congress who are slated to speak: Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.), Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.). Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-Ga.) is speaking at a preceding event on health care.
Some of the more famous names on the stage that day:
- Betsy McCaughey, the health care think-tanker who helped sink the 1993-1994 reforms and has been hitting the TV circuit to do the same this year.
- Dick Armey of FreedomWorks.
- Stephen Baldwin, the actor turned conservative activist.
- Lloyd Marcus, the conservative African-American singer who’s been headlining the Tea Party Express tour with songs that must be heard to be believed.
FreedomWorks spokespeople said that there would be no editing of anyone’s speeches, but added that they’d become aware of “Lyndon LaRouche types” and other activists with “uninvited messages” who were going to show up to share the spotlight. “We’ve told the park police to look out for them.”

“The Nationwide Tea Party Coalition has started a “Hall Pass on That” campaign which encourages parents to contact schools and request that their children be excused from watching the speech…”
Who is Nationwide Tea Party Coalition to ask anything from anybody? Identify yourselves.

DANA LOESCH, RADIO HOST 97.1 FM TALK: I want to know who this “they” is. Who is this they? Republicans? Because I'm not a Republican and not every single person associated with the tea party movement is a Republican
Yes Dana (paid Fox New talk show blabbermouth), YOU ARE PAID REPUBLICAN HACKS.
The Missouri chapter of Americans for Prosperity, which is headed by a former Deputy Speaker of the Missouri State House of Representatives, Republican politician Carl Bearden, organized an anti-health-reform protest in front of the St. Louis office of Missouri Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill on July 17th. AFP organizers invited local conservative blogger Jim Hoft, of the Gateway Pundit website, to advertise and cover the event, and asked local conservative blogger, Tea Party organizer, and a local radio talk show host, Dana Loesch, who works for a Fox News affiliate station, to promote it.

Economic Stimulus. H.R. 5140, the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008, passed 385-35 on January 29, 2008 (Roll Call 25). It would provide about $150 billion in economic stimulus, including $101.1 billion in direct payments of rebate checks (typically $600) to most taxpayers in 2008 and temporary tax breaks for businesses. Creating money out of thin air and then spending the newly created money cannot improve the economy, at least not in the long term. (If it could, why not create even more money for rebates and make every American a millionaire?) The stimulus has no offset and thus increases the federal deficit by the amount of the stimulus because the government must borrow the rebate money. A realistic long-term stimulus can only be achieved by lowering taxes through less government and by reducing regulatory burdens. Marsha Blackburn voted FOR this bill.(Source: The New American – July 21, 2008)
Marsha Blackburn is my Congressman.
She is no conservative.
