The full body of this reads like a FAUX NEWS "newsflash"....more below the fold.
RESOLUTION
Expressing gratitude and appreciation to the individuals and families who participated in the Taxpayer March on Washington on September 12, 2009.
Whereas, on September 12, 2009, hundreds of thousands of American patriots, who refuse to sit idly by as the Federal Government advances skyrocketing deficits, taxpayer-funded bailouts, pork-barrel projects, burdensome taxes, unaccountable policy czars, command-and-control energy policy, and a government takeover of health care, came to Washington, DC, to show their disapproval;
Whereas individuals also wanted to convey their displeasure with the future tax increases that will be required to pay for deficit-financed spending; [i.e. Obama is Hitler]
Whereas these individuals understand that the fundamental American principles of limited government and personal liberty are under direct assault; [Not sure how, but that sure reads well!]
Whereas this dedicated group of freedom-loving Americans believe in open, accountable, responsible, constitutionally based government;[He was born in Kenya!]
Whereas hundreds of buses, multiple caravans of cars from across the country, and many individually chartered flights, as well as thousands of lone-traveling cars and trucks, brought these patriots to Washington, DC, solely for this event;
Whereas these individuals endured considerable personal expense to get to the march, including transportation and lodging expenses, as well as lost wages in many instances;
Whereas estimates of the number of people who peacefully marched from Freedom Plaza to the West Front of the U.S. Capitol on September 12, 2009, range as high as 1,700,000 marchers; ["range as high as"? You kidding? Oh wait, FAUX News.]
Whereas all 50 States were represented in the march;
Whereas this event is considered to be the largest ever gathering of fiscal conservatives in Washington, DC; [Irony is truly dead, isn't it?]
Whereas special accolades are due to the grassroots citizens organizations[NEWS FLASH: FAUX NEWS is now a grassroots citizens organization!] across the country who helped individuals exercise their constitutionally protected First Amendment rights in the Nation's capital; and
Whereas when the current trends of government expansion and freedom retrenchment are reversed [so when it is shown there IS NO reduction in freedom, you can claim immediate victory! Sweet!], it will be due in large part to the efforts of the hundreds of thousands who marched on Washington, DC, on September 12, 2009: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives expresses its gratitude and appreciation to the hundreds of thousands of people who marched on Washington, DC, on September 12, 2009, to show their love of liberty and their grievance with recent government actions.
