Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) spoke this afternoon at the Capitol Hill Tea Party, delivering a brief but very energetic speech:
Who will kill this bill? (Shouts of "We will.") You will! You will! And we must! The Constitution of the United States starts with three very powerful words: "We the people." And we the people are speaking! Nancy Pelosi, listen! Fellow patriots, go tell your Congressman, you're not going to eat this rotten stinking fish that is -- Pelosi health care! We are going to put a stop sign in front of her steamroller of socialism! Go to it, patriots!

The real news today of course is that AARP and the AMA have both endorsed today health care.
Seniors outvote other groups, and do they do care about health care. AMA is not negligible either. Gotta package this stuff right and get mileage out of it.
But right now let's get back to our ongoing coverage of the why the President is Pol Pot.

"we the people" speak at the ballot box in this thing we call a democracy. and "we the people" spoke when we voted the republicans OUT and put the pro-health care reform democrats in control of the executive and BOTH houses of congress.
republicans and their tea-baggers don't represent "we the people", they represent the sore losers.
