Opponents of the government Health Care takeover rally at the Capitol on Thursday. Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-MN), Radio host and author Mark Levin, and actor Jon Voight are scheduled to speak, after which the activists plan to flood into Congressional office buildings to lobby members of Congress in person.
Michelle Malkin tweets:
Hey, Nancy! Look out the window. You can see hlthcare protesters from your House: http://is.gd/4O25C #housecall

Update: From the foundry
U.S. CAPITOL WEST STEPS – Last Thursday a call went out from talk radio to conservatives to gather today, at noon, for a press conference on Obamacare.
Over 10,000 people have shown up so far to raise their concerns about the health care discussions currently under way. We are halfway in the middle of the crowd and can barely see podium with all the signs, people, and flags. These protesters are fired up.
Rep. Tom Price (R-GA) opened the event. Followed by an opening prayer, the pledge of allegiance and the anthem. Actors Jon Voight and John Ratzenberger (Cliff from Cheers) have also spoke. Best selling author Mark Levin detailed the problems with the current health care bill, telling the crowd, “Freedom is only one generation from extinction.”
Again, that’s 10,000 people in just seven days.
Unlike Greg Sargent@ The Plum Line, who’d rather mock protesters and spin for Liberals instead of accurately reporting the issues, here at 73wire.com we will always keep you up-to-date and accurately informed.
