      Please tell your friends. If you can’t make the a.m. event, we might have something brewing for the evening of the 10th.

        Mainstream media will NOT take notice of an evening protest. We need to be at the school where the media will be to get the message out Americans do NOT want this…what part of NO do you not understand Mr. President? Obama will have the school filled with hand-clapping supporters and that is the only message the media will report.

        I plan on being at the town hall meeting at 10am and then I plan on going to the school…some people were talking on the radio about blocking the street to prevent Obama from reaching his destination stating desperate times calls for desperate measures….I remember people sitting on a highway in protest made the news so maybe that will get the media to recognize.

    This is not a McCaskill fundraiser folks. The money is actually going to the Democrats Senatorial Campaign and then gets funneled to Robin Carnahan. She is afraid to be associated with Obama because Obama polls terribly in MO. Have you noticed how RC won’t come out of her bunker??? I hope there is a big counter rally Wednesday night….most of us have jobs during the day.

    freenterprise,

    You are correct that the NDSC DSCC will get money, but I have to disagree with your statement that this is a Carnahan fundraiser. 24thstate.com has detailed where the money will go. To quote the Editor:

    if you wanted money to go to Robin Carnahan, the worst way you could give it would be giving it through this McCaskill fundraiser, because $4800 (per person) would have to go Claire, and the other money would be doled out to close races. Should Robin continue to fall in the polls, she won’t get any more from the DSCC (which already clocks in at $10,000 a month when the race was tied).

    The only person who will walk away with cash for sure is Claire McCaskill.

    I also have to work during the day. If there is an evening demonstration of type, I might be able to make it.

    What about outside the school too? It is fine to have something in the morning, but if they are not going to be there, I’m wondering if the impact will not be as strong? I’ll be there for the evening event.

    Does anyone know what time Obama is going to speak at St. Charles high school Weds afternoon and is anyone planning to be there?

    • Vote -1

      Yes I am a parent of a child in the St Charles School District.
      The automated message i got and from students is…
      St Charles High Students are to leave the school grounds no later than 11:30am and the school will be shut down along with the 1st Capital from Noon until 6pm. No student is to come back on campus.
      Obama will be arriving at around 3pm and is to deliver the speech at 4pm.

    Obama is still and has not stopped campaigning. In Pennsylvania he stated, “When is the Right Time for Healthcare reform?” I say, when it is the RIGHT KIND of Reform.We do not need a government takeover of our healthcare system. What they are pushing is about CONTROL. Both parties claim there are billions of dollars of waste and fraud in the system. I do not understand why the Government is not trying to stop the waste and fraud when it is already against the law. I am concerned about the direction this country is headed, so I will be there.

    I’m not sure Robin Carnahan is very afraid of being linked with Obama. Rush Limbaugh said today that the ONLY people attending Obama’s speech Wednesday will be Russ and Robin Carnhan, Claire McCaskill, Jay Nixon, and the audience will be full of SEIU members rather than being open to the public.

    Gateway Pundit had a post asking people to wear black on Wednesday– PLEASE DON’T! The Tea Party benefits from its grassroots, family-friendly orientation, but if people start showing up looking like extremist vigilantes all dressed in black, not only will they be easier targets, but average Americans will be much less sympathetic. Please bring your cameras and be mindful that the MSM is out to smear opposition to Obamacare. Also, watch out for thugs!

      Michelle,

      We have asked for some volunteers to take part in a very specific demonstration that will be only a part of the overall protest. I am sorry you feel so strongly about this, but we do not intend to yield.

      To the many who’ve responded to our call for volunteers for the black shirt demonstration and for the larger “traditional” demonstration, thank you, so much. We need numbers. The press is hoping we don’t show up.

      Thanks,
      Bill

    I will probably be at the one in downtown at the Renaissance Grand Hotel

    Media will be all over the School, that is where I plan to be. Is there already a meeting place set at/around the campus?

    I live only a few blocks from the school, which my daughter attends. They have half a day tomorrow, and my understanding is that EVERYONE must be off the campus by noon. According to 97.1 this morning, this is all a sham to get the taxpayers to foot the bill to send him on this political junket for the fundraiser for Claire, under the guise of going to a public school for a talk first… A talk BY INVITATION ONLY… It was announced over the weekend and my daughter said they still had 10 tickets available Monday afternoon… my guess it’s like the inauguration where people bought tickets for a lottery…. then picked who they wanted to attend… yay!

    Why in the world would he choose St. Charles High? Was he looking for possibly the most right-wing neighborhood in Missouri? So he could bus in his union buddies and preach to the choir and show the nation how even the conservative Missourians love his Healthcare? I don’t know how he can stand to show his face in Missouri only a couple miles from a Boeing plant after his administration’s remarks about Boeing’s only remaining bid for the tanker contract after Boeing and Northrop-Grumman (who’s partnered with France’s/EU’s EADS (Airbus)) have been fighting over this for years… “The Obama administration had said such sole-source contracts aren’t a good deal for the taxpayer.” (http://www.nwcn.com/news/business/Report-Northrop-Grumman-wont-bid-on-tanker-contract-86920817.html)

    I wish I knew if there were protest areas designated near the school. This former member of the military (and therefore “Rightwing Extremist”) would like to peaceably demonstrate my displeasure with the current administration’s and Congress’s current policies and pushes for unprecedented, unwanted, and unconstitutional ‘mandates’ and unfettered spending sprees.

    I would like to be there, but, unfortunately, I actually have to WORK while I still have a JOB (not one of those mystical stimulus jobs redefined in that Dec OMB memo M10-08). I may see if I can leave earlier than normal… If I can’t make it, I’d like to suggest some sign slogans…

    America needs Obamacare like a fish needs a bicycle
    Tort Reform, Not Healthcare Reform
    Just say “NO” to big government
    America needs a campaign against OBESE government
    OBAMACARE is UNCONSTITUTIONAL
    Keep Government hands off OUR BODIES and OUR BABIES! NO OBAMACARE
    Don’t Worry Claire, Election 2012, Missouri Won’t Forget
    Time for a CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
    We respect America and the Presidency, Mr. Obama, Why Don’t YOU?
