Holding signs reading “Stimulate Business, Not Government,” “Families Against Porkulus” and “Say No To Generational Theft,” protesters opposed to the $787 billion stimulus package have been mobilizing across the country.
It started last Monday in Seattle, then moved Tuesday to Denver, where President Obama signed the stimulus bill into law. That was followed by another one in Mesa, Ariz., where Obama unveiled a mortgage rescue plan.
Another protest was planned for Saturday outside the office of Rep. Dennis Moore in Overland Park, Kan. The Democrat voted for the stimulus. His office didn’t return calls seeking comment.
A New Populism?
As unemployment soars and anger over Wall Street bailouts mounts, public outrage will seek an outlet. Populism could go in many directions — and could easily ebb when the economy revives.
But if it takes shape as an anti-spending movement, it could revive conservatives much as the 1970s tax protests did.
To be sure, the protest sizes so far are a far cry from the left’s anti-globalization and anti-war demonstrations of the past decade. But they appear to have grass-roots origins.
Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., is already taking heat for providing one of the three critical GOP votes for the stimulus. Some voters interrupted his press conference in Cranberry, Pa., on Thursday.

In the midst of all that surrounds us – stimulus packages, bailouts, auto bailouts, mortgage bailouts, a strong and palpable Socialist ideal, holier than thou Senators, (like Schumer D-NY) and a MSM that refuses to speak the truth at anytime – we do not stand alone.

Even before Rick Santelli made his voice heard on CNBC, the voices of reason, of true compassion, of America were making themselves heard. Instead of being despondent after the elections of Nov. 4th, groups of people began saying “Ok, how do we make this better?”

From housewives and entrepreneurs to college students and scholars and millions upon millions from all walks of life, a loud battle cry was sounded – a Clarion call if you will – that we are not just going to sit and accept our lot. That we are right. That personal responsibility, free market capitalism and upholding the Constitution are not just words but a gateway to a better life. Not only for those who believe in them, but even for those who want to destroy them.

In 4 months time, the movement is on. It is loud, dynamic, respectful, successful and joyful. And it is all of these things in the midst of all that surrounds us. The power of our words, the strength of our convictions, the belief in ourselves has those who oppose us baffled, befuddled and quite simply amazed. So much done in such little time. Just imagine what it all looks like tomorrow? Imagine what it looks like in 2010?

In the midst of all that surrounds us let us never forget how great this feels. That we took our voices, banded together and decided that this is our time. We did not despair, we did not hide. We stood up, and joined with each other arm in arm. And we said, This is our country. We want it back, and we are taking it.

I’m not sure if this is how they felt in 1776, but I can only imagine they did. Because this feels great. Now, let’s get our country back.

WE Surround Them
Glenn Beck
Do you watch the direction that America is being taken in and feel powerless to stop it?
Do you believe that your voice isn’t loud enough to be heard above the noise anymore?
Do you read the headlines everyday and feel an empty pit in your stomach…as if you’re completely alone?
If so, then you’ve fallen for the Wizard of Oz lie. While the voices you hear in the distance may sound intimidating, as if they surround us from all sides—the reality is very different. Once you pull the curtain away you realize that there are only a few people pressing the buttons, and their voices are weak. The truth is that they don’t surround us at all.
We surround them.
So, how do we show America what’s really behind the curtain? Below are nine simple principles. If you believe in at least seven of them, then we have something in common. I urge you to read the instructions at the end for how to help make your voice heard.
The Nine Principles
1. America is good.
2. I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life.
3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.
4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.
5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.
6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.
7. I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable.
8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.
9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me.
You Are Not Alone
If you agree with at least seven of those principles, then you are not alone.

Wild Thing’s comment……..
Obama’s stimulus package is socialism. It will never work and those of us, you and me we know it. He won’t listen to othe Republican leadership that tried to get through to him. We saw how Pelosi pulled a fast one turning in the bill late at night, the very night before the big vote.
The market votes every single day—and they don’t like it either.
America is the greatest country in the world and these protests across America warm my heart .
Obama and the Democratic Party are intentionally trying to scare people instead of doing something that would improve the economic situation.
Obama and his people and the rinos like some of the Gov.’s begging for the stimulus money are economically going to destroying jobs and wealth for the next two years. For that they justily deserve to pay a very high price; they should be voted out of office.
And worse yet, if it could be worse, Obama is out and out lying about the economic situation and the so-called stimulus package and he knows it. It is a socialist bill and the beginning for something our Founding Fathers did all they could to keep it from happening.
