9/12/09 March on Washington

I'm sure you have all heard about the March on Washington that happened on Saturday. I had the privilege to be able to go to this event and witness what will go down as the greatest Conservative protest to ever happen in D.C.
It was so inspiring to see all the people turn out for this event. It wasn't organized by Fox News or "far right wing radicals" it wasn't really organized by anyone. It was simply hundreds of thousands of people, working class Americans, who are tired of how this government is operating. People just like you and me who look at the direction that the country is going and it scares them.
Another myth about this protest was that it was an angry mob of gun toating right wing radicals. This was no where near a mob. It was a peaceful protest of big government, taxes and spend policies, and nationalized health care. There was no violence of any kind. In fact the only incidents (I talked to Capital Police there and confirmed) was some guy selling "Don't Tread on Me" flags on Capital Grounds, and some ACORN member walking through the lawn with a sign that said "Single Payer Now." He was instantly surrounded by people shouting "no single payer" etc.... but he was never harmed. In a few minutes the Police came and escorted him out. Other then that it was an amazingly peaceful event.
I took many pictures of the event that I'm working on uploading right now. Also I'm working on a post about the estimation of the attendance at the event. Undoubtedly the media is lying about the attendance to the march and the rally. Make sure you come back and check it out.

That way they will be responsible if there are any errors or if you get audited. It is always better to have someone else in your corner when you are going up against the IRS.

Due to the astounding growth of the multicultural populations and the corresponding demographic shifts, multicultural social perspectives as well as the related themes of Hispanic politics and cultural politics have become increasingly relevant to political commentary, mass public opinion and action. social perspectives
The protest against
Rebbeca — Thu, 2010-07-22 04:20The protest against government can be said peaceful and remarkable protest. Their protest is deserve to be appreciated because they are not fighting for the seat of government, they are asking for substantial things alerting the government about the problem. The core problem of the country is growing unemployment rate and expensive health which can not be afforded by ordinary people. To reduce the jobless rate government has to create the jobs like critical care jobs and huge amount of budget should be allocated for the health services.

Xavi — Wed, 2010-07-07 04:52right, personally I heard about this march from the piece of news downloaded by search on mp3 with all my respect, I think marches are not the proper way to achieve some results, just to attract attention merely.
Paying taxes is becoming taxing
jacki33 — Tue, 2010-06-22 11:38To protest on something that we think is not right and that doesn't violate any laws is permissible.Especially when it comes to taxes and health care issues.We have the right to raise our voices regarding issues that pretty much concern us.
