Road Trip

I got an email report from a fellow Tea Partier describing the trip of one group of Missourians to DC for Thursday's House Call. Here are some excerpts:

I talked to one of the Caravan groups on their way to Washington DC...

They have a group of about 50 people from STL area...and have appointments to meet with 6 Missouri Congressional leaders: Rep. Todd Akin, Sen. Chris Bond, Sen. Claire McCaskill, Rep. Russ Carnahan, Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer and Rep. Jo Ann Emerson.

[A friend with the group] said, "This is not a vacation. Tomorrow is a work day. We are here to work to save our nation. I expect everyone here to work!"

She intends for her group to convey to all Congressional leaders that we expect our elected officials to listen to us. The People have spoken loud and clear in the past 8 months, and we DO NOT want govt. control of our lives. We do NOT want govt. health control. And "if anyone is not for us, they're against us"! In other words...if a Congressional leader does not meet The People and Michelle Bachman on the steps of the Capitol Building in Washington DC tomorrow...and does not meet with them during the time they have their appointments...then they are NOT supporting us - The People - and WE WILL VOTE THEM OUT!

One of her group has agreed to email pictures as they go along, and I'll be forwarding to Gateway Pundit -- so watch his blog for updates on the group! :)

And MEET US AT RUSS CARNAHAN'S OFFICE TOMORROW (THURS) AT NOON! - Corner of Brentwood and Manchester...
