I'm happy to report that yesterday was a very successful Rally, involving about 100 folks.  This included about  50 of our Conservative Enthusiasts Group plus accompanying representation from several other Groups.  Many learned of the Rally through the auspices of the WA TEA PARTY  network.  The intent was to support our Congressman, Dave Reichert  in his recent vote AGAINST the Obama  Healthcare Plan. I believe we handily  out-numbered an opposing  Group of  30 or so ralliers who wanted to show opposition to Dave's vote.

Some photos of the rally are given below, which was held in front of Congressman Reichert's Office on Mercer Island . Our side occupied the full west side of the street on which the office fronts.  We also had satellite contingents across the street and at the rear of the office building. Several of our Group ventured right into the opposition contingent, which was across the street and further South of the office.

Of probable interest to many of us, and others,  is some of the info reported back from folks on our side who spoke with several of the pro-Obama ralliers.   Some indicated they were being paid $12.50 an hour to take part in the Rally.  One lady indicated the effort was supported by  her Union, although she wouldn't identify which one.   I'm proud to say our total attendance was unpaid volunteerism from the hearts of  people deeply concerned with America's current  path, Health Care being only one  symptom of the recent trend that is upsetting many Patriotic Americans.

 Again, Congratulations to all who participated.  Thanks  for standing up for America.
