November 5, 2009: Thousands of health care protesters from across the country are arriving in DC outside the Capitol building
Don’t see any tar and feathers, but thousands of angry Americans are arriving in Washington, DC to protest the socialist “ram it down their throats” ObamaCare, renamed PelosiCare… KILL THE BILL!
Hey, Nancy Pelosi, look out the window...
More photos of the PelosiCare protest and frequent updates on the DC rally are at Michelle Malkin’s place: Battling Pelosicare; Update: Thousands descend on D.C., “You work for us!” and Hey, Nancy: Can you hear America now?
Link to Gateway Pundit’s coverage: It’s On and IT’S MASSIVE– “Kill the Bill Rally” In DC!
C-SPAN LIVE streaming video: UPDATE: The crowd goes NUTS over Joe Wilson!
Lots of links at Nice Deb for streaming video and streaming audio… thumbs up on all the work you did on this, Deb. This is helpful info from Deb: If you’re on Twitter, use the #housecall hashtag for news.
To ensure that CNN, MSNBC, ABC, and CBS news covers this event, did anyone think to send a memo telling them that an anti-Sarah Palin rally was scheduled? Heck, THAT would have had Katie and Charlie and Andrea and Matt dashing to the scene like gazelles.
You can still attend the Washington, DC health care protest… if you’re in Baltimore, here’s a link for instructions on how to get to the Capitol: Examiner: Storm The Capitol Protest in Washington DC on Thursday: How to get there from Baltimore

ADDITIONAL: House Republicans are holding a 12-hour live online telecast today starting at 1pm Eastern to expose the perils and pitfalls of Pelosicare — and to spotlight the GOP alternative. Title: Welcome to “Pelosi Plan Exposed: 12 Truths about PelosiCare and Republican Alternatives.”

FROM STREAMING AUDIO: 27 BUSLOADS CAME FROM JUST NEW JERSEY! KILL THE BILL!
FROM CONSERVATIVE ENTERTAINER LLOYD MARCUS: 50,000 5,000 AT RALLY! I must have misread the number, or Lloyd was misinformed, because I’m now hearing from Sean Hannity on his radio show that it was in the vicinity of 5,000 or more, but not 50,000… still remarkable number since this entire rally was pulled together in less than a week with very little coverage (only Fox News). Will keep looking for final numbers, but they really don’t matter… what matters is the coming together of American voters who are letting Congress know WE DON’T WANT THIS HEALTH CARE BILL.
UPDATE: On Mark Levin Show with Rep. Bachmann, about 6:30 ET: Attendance could easily be as high as 20,000… people were packed from the Capitol building to Grant’s statue (means nothing to me, I’m afraid, since I’ve not ever been in DC). The Pelosi mandate to vote on Saturday is unraveling…
UPDATE: We’re hearing that Nancy Pelosi HAD A PRIEST ARRESTED who tried to speak to her in the Capitol… Rep. Barney Frank and other elected Democrats refused to see people or were rude to people or threatened them with arrest. Americans who sacrificed so much to be in DC. These were not professional protesters, these are REAL PEOPLE who are being treated like this. People who want answers, want their elected representatives to listen to them. People who are fighting for their liberty by exercising their First Amendment rights.
SHAMEFUL! I can’t wait to start searching on YouTube tonight… people were asked to bring their cell phones so that they could video document their experiences.
Update, 7:12 ET… just found this on YouTube; it appears to be a cell phone recording. Thanks to the patriot who uploaded this to YouTube, and to Mark Levin, you’re a great American!

Random updates from the live C-SPAN3 video coverage… I’m at work and missed most of it — hope it’s on YouTube later. This is moving at a fast pace:
UPDATE, 1:38 ET: Sweep of the huge crowds… wow! I’m seeing random TV cameras in the C-SPAN live coverage camera sweep, but I think they’re only from Fox News and private citizens.
UPDATE: 1:42 ET: Rep. Rob Bishop, R-Utah – Talks about the downfall of federalism and how it will destroy America. Nice speech, short but effective.
UPDATE: 1:44 ET: Rep. Mario Diza-Balart from Florida – WAS ON FIRE! Way to go, Mario!
UPDATE: 1:47 ET: Rep. Phil Gingrey, R-Georgia: Applauds common sense and freedom. No money for illegal aliens!!! Stop this health care bill today!
UPDATE: 1:49 ET: Rep. Ted Poe, R-Texas: Poe, you rock!
UPDATE: 1:53 ET: Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minnesota: Bachmann thanks everyone for coming. Parting gifts for protesters… two copies of the 2,000-page health care bill to be split up among the crowd. Then from one page or a half a page, ask their member of Congress to explain it… HA HA! The crowd roars with laughter. I’m thinking, “But no Ugg boots? Oprah would’ve had Uggs to give away…”
UPDATE: 1:56 ET: Benediction
UPDATE: 1:57 ET: Singing of God Bless America, crowd joins in
Now, Lee Greenwood’s God Bless the USA is being piped over the crowd… looks like they’re actually handing out pages of the health care bill! One of the congressmen is NOW FLINGING PAGES INTO THE CROWD! This is an absolute hoot!
We’re getting close to “the charge” on the Capitol to see the elected officials… this is what I’ve been waiting for…
UPDATE: 2:01 ET: Rats… didn’t show the protesters going into the building to see their congressional reps. C-SPAN3 has now suddenly cut to Pres. Obama to talk about his health care plan… I’m done.
