Minnesota Tea Party

Today, about an hour ago, thousands of people gathered at the Minnesota State Capitol to protest the health care reform bill.

Star Tribune Reported:

[The message that echoed across the State Capitol grounds Saturday couldn’t have been simpler: “Kill the bill!”

A day after congressional Democratic leaders announced their final legislative push to enact a bill to overhaul the nation’s health care system, opponents rallied to send a noisy contrary message. Rally organizers said 4,000 people attended, but Capitol police estimated the crowd at 2,000 or less.]

So even deep blue Minnesota is protesting against this bill.

Thousands of patriots gathered to here today and it was right in my back yard. As a Minnesotan i was shocked to see this. Most of you known that Minnesota is severely liberal. in 84 when Reagan took 49 states, the one that didn't, was Minnesota.

For once i am proud of Minnesota politics and activists. A rare moment of truth for the political landscape of Minnesota. This is much greater than the 1,000 people who protested last spring on Tax Day. My how the Tea Party Movement has grown.
