More Teabagger protests planned.
For Immediate Release: August 12, 2009
Contact: Nancy Rumfelt 970-691-3446



"Hands Off My HealthCare" rally this Saturday in Grand Junction, CO during Presidential Visit




Tea Party activist and 9-12ers join forces with conservatives from four states

Grand Junction, Col. – Tea party activists and 9-12ers from Greeley, Fort Collins, and Loveland will join forces with the Western Slope Conservative Alliance and conservatives from across Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, and New Mexico to protest Barak Obama's socialized medicine proposals during the president's visit to Grand Junction this Saturday.



Activists will gather in Lincoln Park at 10:00 am this Saturday August 15th at the corner of 12th and North Avenue in Grand Junction, Colorado. Activists will then re-gather outside Central High School's Warrior Gym at 3:15 at 550 Warrior Way Grand Junction, CO 81504 the site of President Obama's health care town hall.



"We are asking everyone to wear a solid red, white, or blue shirt show our patriotism and to contrast the purple shirts worn by SEIU activists. Patriots and Conservatives are invited to bring signs that focus on Healthcare or Cap and Trade only," said Nancy Rumfelt, Chairman of the Loveland 9-12 Project.



"We have been writing letters, making phone calls, and lobbying our representative Betsy Markey in person for weeks to oppose HR 3200, 'Americas Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009,'" said Rumfelt. "We came together with folks from all over Colorado last week during Speaker Pelosi's visit to Denver, and wanted to join forces with other conservatives throughout the Rocky Mountain region to let President Obama and Representative Markey know that this is NOT the plan that Coloradoans want."

1. "this is NOT the plan that Coloradoans want" is a lie. They pretend they are a majority.

3. That's the neocon movement in a nutshell.
Pretending they represent the will of the people when in fact they don't even represent the will of the entire gop.

2. Patriotism means supporting the president, not opposing him

4. Hope to attend the event myself
Although Western Colorado went heavily for McCain, we changed the numbers around in the Grand Junction area.
The frightwingers will be outnumbered, as usual Obama supporters plan on making our presence felt.
Now if I can only have my name selected in the lottery to attend the main event.
Where are the Bush "Free Speech Zones" when you need them. I would love to see these assholes caged into a chain link barricade as was the case a few years back.

5. So I just wear a red or a white or a blue shirt and I'm instantly a Patriot
Those conservatives think of everything. And I can't believe none of these people got the right to vote last year.

8. Yeah, you'd think that someone locked them up in a closet for the election season.
Well their mother's basement more than likely.

6. So if they're opposed to "socialized medicine"...
...I expect that none of them are on Medicare, right? Because that's socialized medicine.

Indeed, every last winger who b*tches about "socialized medicine" should be forced to FOREGO Medicare. Only fair.

9. Yes they should forego Medicare.
Why should I have to pay for someone who's against socialized medicine. Let 'em find their own coverage.

7. Maybe that's the new name for the GOP?? Tea Party!
That'll really sell big time at the voting booth - yep. Let's hope they go for it!
