Lot's of porta-potties

Yea....lot's of green and red clothing too. I wonder what that means.

Just curious if anyone knows what the comment on Twitpix means. Here it is in spanish:

hola mi gente echenle muchas anas laverdad mu ubiera encantado estar aya pero no sepudo nimodo bueno suerte y adelante todos juntos saldremos adelante desde columbus todqa la suerte del mundos animo Raza la Raza la tina es fuerte y nunca seda por bensida

Translated into English on babelfish the comment makes no sense:

hello my people echenle many Anas laverdad mu ubiera enchanted to be aya but sepudo nimodo good luck and ahead all together ones we will not leave ahead from Columbus todqa the luck worlds intention Race the Race the bathtub is strong and it never soothes by bensida

Hmmm...the bathtub sounds like a great way to race across a river to go back home.

Straight from the horse's mouth:

If you are taking pics, upload them here: http://bit.ly/bGj71R - they'll show up on the #m4a website! 20 mins ago

They'll be posting tons of pics, blogs, tweets, etc. on their site


Just wondering why none of the links to their sites will copy/paste?

Here is the traffic live feed, can see as marchers arrive.

Anyone else wonder if it is intentional that Pelosi scheduled a vote on the health care bill at 2pm which is the start time for the March Against America?

Today's tick-tock for health vote
Posted: Sunday, March 21, 2010 12:36 PM by Mark Murray
Filed Under: Congress

From NBC's Mike Viqueira
If things go according to plan, think 8:30 pm-ish finish.

This is all a back of the envelope calculation. Please do not use for any actual cash wager, and please keep in mind that even during procedural debate, there will be discussion of the larger underlying health-care reform issues:

- 1:00 pm ET: House comes in for 10 "ONE MINUTE" speeches.
- 1:20-ish: Debate on two "points of order" (i.e., objections) against the rule (having to do with budgetary impact). Each point gets 20 minutes debate.
- 2:15-ish: Vote on the POO's
- 2:45-ish: Debate begin on the rule
- 4:00-ish: Vote on the rule
- 4:30-ish: Two-hour general health care debate begins
- 7:00-ish: Debate ends. Vote on the SENATE bill begins (This is where John Boehner has asked for a manual vote, which would take much longer than a normal electronic vote. He isn't likely to get it, however.)
- 730-ish: Debate on a Republican "motion to recommit." This is the Republicans' best shot all day, a motion that would scuttle the whole thing. Substance is always a secret until last minute, but we can expect it to involve abortion in an effort to put the Stupak group on the spot.)
- 745-ish: Vote on motion to recommit
- 800-ish: If motion to recommit fails, then the final vote on reconciliation "fixes."
- 830-ish: Gavel comes down on final vote. If it's close, Dem leaders will extend the usual 15 minutes to twist arms.

If the GOP decides to use dilatory motions throughout the day, they can do that. In that case, it goes even later. But it's doubtful they will.

Heads up everyone! I just spoke with someone from NumbersUSA on the phone. They tell me the illegals and their supporters harassed and shoved them and their cameras.

Video should be up shortly. All activists please be ready to assist with distribution if necessary.

Geraldo Rivera is on stage right now to hype up the crowd. He ended with "God bless you all and God bless America". Now a HUGE round of 'si se puedes' and 'Obama echucha, estamos en la luchas'!

Ali Noorani welcomes everybody to the march and thanks people for traveling from every corner of the country. "Right here, right now there are over 150,000 people from across the country". AMAZING!
