Georgia Rep. introduces resolution to praise Tea Party marchers

[sabra]

Source: USA Today

Republican Rep. Tom Price, of Georgia, has introduced a House resolution that would, if passed, express the legislative body's "gratitude and appreciation" to Tea Party members who marched on Washington on Sept. 12 to "show their love of liberty and their grievance with recent government actions."

The proposed resolution is co-signed by more than 70 members of the House.

...

The proposed resolution would single for praise the "hundreds of thousands of American patriots, who refuse to sit idly by as the Federal Government advances skyrocketing deficits, taxpayer-funded bailouts, pork-barrel projects, burdensome taxes, unaccountable policy czars, command-and-control energy policy, and a government takeover of health care, came to Washington, D.C, to show their disapproval ..."

The proposed resolution has been referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, chaired by Rep. Ed Towns, D-N.Y., for any action on the proposal. Or not.

7. I felt the same why when I left Alabama in the rear view

I have only been back once in 25 years and that was a drive by to see some old friends when my ex and I were on our way back to SoFla from a short vacation to Tenn to see other friends.
I live in NC now seems to be the best, folks are not so nosy, and they are always polite. I left Alabama after well I'll leave it as unpleasantness from the local kreestians. Then there are the elected reprehensibles.

the Republican Party would be illegal.

13. Democrats should add to the bill

Recognizing the 2.2 million who attended Obama's inauguration, the more than one million who attended the anti-war rally in D.C. and the more than one million who marched on D.C. for gay rights.

that had done nothing whatsofuckingever to us.

Right?
