One wonders whether these same individuals will support a resolution recognizing the recent equality march on Washington, which had just as many, if not more, participants.
What am I saying? Of course they won't.

Remarkably restrained in sticking to 1.7 million rather than 2 million attendees — or 12 billion, for that matter.

Other sponsors of H.R. 870 include Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa.), and Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.)

Color me unimpressed. (And unsurprised.)

Raw meat for what remains of their base. Good luck with that.

Eleventy billion is more like it. Don't you watch FOX News?

bIGGEST. pROTEST. eVAR! W00T!

Whereas, on September 12, 2009, hundreds of thousands of American patriots… came to Washington, DC…

No, no, no. Not awesome enough.

Whereas estimates of the number of people who peacefully marched from Freedom Plaza to the West Front of the U.S. Capitol on September 12, 2009, range as high as 1,700,000 marchers…

There it is. Was hoping for the 2 million number to show up, but the Beck/Univ. of IDK number works.
Who says legislatin' is hard?

Whereas, on September 12, 2009, hundreds of thousands of American patriots… came to Washington, DC…

Those that didn't march? Not patriots.

That's right – not patriots. Do your socialist ears not work?

Unless you watched the march on FOX News. That also makes you a patriot. You're a real American patriot just by tuning in.

This is what republicans waste their time on? With all the important issues to be dealt with, they waste time on this nonsense? And they wonder why they've been marginalized to such an extreme? When they grow up and start doing their jobs, maybe, just maybe we can take them seriously.

A couple of items that were mistakenly left out of the above resolution:

Whereas contrary to all available evidence Glenn Beck is not suffering from delusional paranoia;

Whereas Fox News is the most fairest and balancedest news network ever;

Now we know what Republicans were doing instead of offering their alternative health care plan.

Oh yes, PLEASE keep proposing these resolutions, Republicans! Keep Price and, even better, Bachmann and King out front as your most visible party spokespersons! Most normal Americans will hear and see them and be repulsed, as they should be. And they'll see what “important” matters the Republicans focus on, rather than real solutions to people's real problems like exploding health care costs, unemployment and job insecurity, and more.

Maybe those eleventy billion nutjobs will put the GOP back in power to drown the government in the toilet, like Grover Norquist wanted. (I mean, government can't do ANYTHING right, you know, like rural electrification that allows the rural folks to communicate with the rest of the world.) Then the GOP can get rid of the liberal Marxist socialist communist fascist Muslim-loving anti-Americans that comprise the Democratic party!

Well said! Is this what the Republicans waste their time with? Why isn't he coming up to a healthcare solution since all Republicans vote down all the other suggestions! How bout the “millions” of gay right activist who marched a week ago? They were just as many of them who “refuse to sit idly by as the” gvt. denies them of their basic rights. Will they and their buses, planes, and other forms of transportation get the recongnition deserved?

As one of the million and a half 9/12 marchers the facts were never reported. With the exception of about 2 dozen signs demeaning our government and our president the march was attended by all races, creeds, and classes including families from all over the United States. Hotels were full, there was no violence and no police presence. I carries a sign supporting our troops and opposing health care which I feel is essentially welfare paid for by the working classes. As yet, there is no figure from the CBO, other than a guesstimate on a partial plan, which would let Americans know what National Health care would cost. 99% of Republicans have been kept out of the debate, having all their plans rejected–it's no wonder they are trying to record the outrage of 70% of the American people who do not want national health care.

“You can have your own opinion, but not your own facts.”

The one and a half million figure was broadcasted on CBS the day of the march. Police at the scene compared the number with that of Obama's inauguration and told us there were one and a half million. My driver, ex Turkish army special ops brought over by the FBI after 9/11, whose company is under contract with the Secret Service, Congress and the Senate also put the number at one and a half million. Other facts can be corroborated by doing standard research, not just taking one person's word or that of a single group–weigh and measure.

Damn how much meth do you smoke??

Wereas we have the right to whine like the little kids we are, we have the right to celebrate the idiots that we need to use to show the country we have no plans but no, we have the right to show you we can mindfuck the stupid and make them do what we say because we have a kneegro in our White Mans House and you know that kneegrows will take away our white women and kick our dogs so we the confederates kkk we call patriots need to stand up for the rest of good white america so we can continue to screw america and it's citizens

Thanks for the article. This keeps me informed about the topic.

Do your own research but try to be fair and accumulate statistics from all Washington Hotels–I can promise you The Ritz At The Pentagon was totally filled with Tea partiers–check registration on 9/12/2011–we also had the Dallas Cowboys–pretty cool.  Every person in hotel was Tea Partier –Not my facts–we met on executive floor each day to discuss activities and met inl lobby each day–I carried a sign  which said “SUPPORT OUR TROOPS” AND WILL BRING IT AGAIN TO 9/12–CMON PEOPLE ITS YOUR COUNTRY TOO  CAN WE HAVE A 9/12 THIS YEAR????? WE JUST NEED US AND POSSIBLY MICHELLE BACHMAN, HALEY BARBOUR????WILL SOMEONE PLEASE ORGANISE 9/12
