The Jefferson Area Tea Party and a group called DeFundIt.org host a press conference to denounce federal funding of abortion in health care reform legislation August 2 at the Free Speech Monument. About two dozen Tea Partiers were met by about the same number of health care/Tom Perriello supporters, including members of Catholics United, who say the denouncers’ claims are completely false.

    It used to be young people protesting. Guess they are to busy with their video games to care about reality.

    nottoliberal: Maybe we realize standing around with signs does no one any good. Maybe young people realize that the only way to change things is from the inside….I guess retired people have left the bingo halls and hit the streets….orthopedic shoes must be flying of the shelf.

* People say the darndest things, but language stronger than "darn," insulting words like "stupid," ethnically or racially disparaging language, and comparing people to Hitler usually results in deletion of the comment and may get you blocked from further commenting. Ditto for posting unverified and/or potentially libelous allegations, and even off-topic digression. And to avoid spam, any comment containing more than two weblinks gets eaten by Bigfoot.
