More: It holds 10k people. Doors open at 9, speech kicks off at 11:30.
h/t Smitty from TOM. No tickets required, no banners allowed. Be a real shame if a Tea Party broke out while Obama is giving yet another pitch on Obama Care.
On the morning of Friday, March 19, 2010, as we draw even closer to health reform putting Americans in charge of their health care, President Obama will speak on the urgent need for reform in Fairfax, Virginia at George Mason University’s Patriot Center – get directions here. Doors open at 9:00AM EDT.
There are no tickets needed for this event, just show up – but if you are in the area and on Facebook by all means rsvp to our Facebook event.
Just as a heads up, no signs or banners are permitted, and those who come are encouraged to limit personal items and not bring bags or purses.
No bags or purses? I hope they don't mean no wives!


This mom of 3 is going. I'll leave the BIG sign in the minivan. If I can't get in, I'll protest outside. Is there anything in particular I can 'holler' for you?

I'll be there to protest outside and will try to get more to come!

Possibly/maybe looks like a setup to me?
Be on your best behavior [coming from me, who am I kidding (snarf to taste) ... well try a little anyway, if ya can?]. Stay on message ... show em who we are. Laugh at anyone who attempts antagonization, or forces conflict. Even simply ignore, completely.
But everyone who puts boots on the ground (and has), gets my sincere heartfelt Thanks, Appreciation, and Admiration.

I've got a sawbuck that says Obama will face more protesters than supporters at this event. Let's see how Mr. Cool, Calm, and Collected deals with a tough room.

Whoever goes, make sure you take your video phones and take lots of pictures, especially if the Obamamuscle starts throwing people out.

Jane --
"YOU LIE!!" seems to go over well...

Jane, Yet another vote from the Joe Wilson camp: YOU LIE! (You suck, Zero! would be fine with me, too) Thanks!
I went to DC on Tuesday and wonder if it does any good. Thanks for going to this thing. I hope union goons aren't guarding the door to keep people out.

Why stay outside. We need to go in and disrupt every event he shows up at. Keep up a steady stream of interuptions. We need to act like the lefties. Turn about is fair play. For to long we have tried to deal with these scum bags as fellow citizens, that needs to stop. We need to hurt them.

There's always the old-fashioned, "polite" way of silent protest: Say nothing. Make no gestures. Simply turn your back to the president (not when he enters, nor at the very beginning of his speech, but) when he starts his fascistic, anti-liberty pitch.

So, a Louisville Slugger is out as a necessary bit of gear? What a shame. No surprise in the case of this spineless fecal nugget.

I'll be there, camera, cell phone, and notebook in hand.

If you can't bring a sign, maybe you could bring a tea bag!
I would, if I could be there.

How about a poo-poo cushion under the jacket? Then when Zero gets to his Big Lie, give President Poop Head a fat one.

You tea party loons are so ridiculously out of touch with reality it's mind-boggling. You seriously think your pathetic voices will be heard in a George Mason crowd? You are in the whiny minority. The rest of us want health care reform and are moving forward in spite of your fear and cowardice.
