"Don't bring your pitchforks, bring your video cameras. And get them on record saying how they're going to vote and why. And tell them, 'Take your hands off my health care!' "---- Michelle Bachmann
Video below is where Michelle Bachmann made the plea to the American people to join her on the steps of Congress to rally.
Since that plea was made, Bachmann has received a tremendous response as people line up to join her in telling Congress no to Pelosi's Obamacare bill of government run healthcare.
Last Thursday, Bachmann said she appealed to Republicans but “the conference didn’t pick it up.” The following day, she decided to take matters in her own hands and made her plea directly to Fox News viewers on Sean Hannity’s program. On Saturday, Bachmann said she received a call from actor Jon Voight who offered to join her in Washington, followed by a similar call from conservative talk-show host Mark Levin.
Backmann reasserted a claim that Pelosi was considering tightening security in preparation for the activists, which she warned "would be a huge mistake."
Yesterday Bachmann was told that Pelosi was going to try to prevent the House Call on Congress, the video below shows her response.
More on this House Call from Politics Daily:
What began as an impromptu meet-up now features a noon rally on the Capitol steps with the full Republican leadership of the House of Representatives, talk radio personalities and the actor Jon Voight.
In Bachmann's plan, activists will then fan out across the Capitol office complex to find their representatives and nail them down on their health care position. Buck said his boss won't be directing people to go to congressmen's offices, "but people are coming to D.C. to make their voices heard, and I imagine they will make sure that happens."
If the prediction of thousands of attendees proves accurate, the event with mark the first high-profile show of force from the so-called tea party activists in the health care debate since their raucous attendance at town-hall meetings in August. A large rally in Washington for the "9/12 Project" attracted scores of conservatives, but almost no members of Congress, since the event fell on a weekend when most lawmakers had left Washington to travel to their home districts.
Looks like this House Call is being done just in the nick of time to give politicians something to think about as they head into a special Saturday vote on Obamacare.
Follow this rally throughout the day, it is due to start at noon.
