Scenes from a Real Town Hall

"You have awakened a sleeping giant!"

I was so proud of the people of my home state yesterday, and in particular, Katy Abram, the 35 year-old female patriot to whom the quote above is attributed. Unlike Obama's kabuki theater, Specter's Town Hall was populated with real, hard-working folks motivated by love of country and a desire for freedom. Once again, just like their American counterparts nationwide, these people know what's in the bill, and understand the high stakes of a government takeover of healthcare.

HELL NO Mr. Specter, Mr. President and every other Congress Critter who supports this abhorrent legislation!

And since I never underestimate the ability of the GOP to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, here's a warning for the RINOs: if you dare support a "bi-partisan" compromise, some sort of watered down version of this bill that nevertheless increases the power and scope of the government, and takes away our choices -- you will be promptly voted out of office.

We the People are speaking. The question is, is anyone in D.C. listening?
