Hundreds of protestors rallied on the steps of the Capitol Sunday, most demonstrating against President Barack Obama’s national health care initiative.Protestors chanted, “Kill the bill. Kill the bill.”

Only a handful of people were there to support the president’s plan.

“I’m a veteran. I would like to see everybody have a good health care program. That’d be fine, but find the money to pay for it and find the same one for the Congress and the Senate as they got for me and then I’d be happy,” San Antonio resident Amos Joel Jones said.

The crowd was estimated to be about 250 people

The Senate is getting ready to vote to reauthorize the Cash For Clunkers bill with another 2BILLION DOLLARS!

Why should our taxes go to people buying cars.   THERE IS NOTHING IN THE CONSTITUTION THAT REMOTELY APPROVES THIS!!!!!

Call your senator TODAY and demand that they vote NO!   If you want a car spend your own money on it!

So did anyone actually expect Obama to keep his pledge of no taxes on the middle class?  Especially since he has already raised taxes on items like cigarettes and don’t forget the hidden tax for all the money GM and the banks have received.  Well now he’s saying that he will “possibly” have to raise taxes on the middle-class…imagine that?

From Fox News:  President Obama may have to break his campaign pledge and raise taxes on middle-class Americans to pay for public health care and the growing deficit, an eventuality that administration officials touched lightly on Sunday as they promoted an economy emerging from recession.

With an expected deficit next year of $1.8 trillion, and spending still being planned for a $1 trillion, 10-year health care reform, officials say something will have to be done to prevent further erosion of the economy.

“We will not get this economy back on track, recovery will be not strong and sustained, unless we … can convince the American people that we’re going to have the will to bring these deficits down once recovery is firmly established,” Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner said on ABC’s “This Week.”

Asked point blank whether it was right to suggest it is a matter of when, not if, taxes will be raised, Geithner responded, “It is absolutely right.”
