January 6th Protest at Senator Webb’s Office.
on December 28th, 2009 at 11:56 pm
We are working to better coordinate our actions with other tea party groups in the state. To that end…
On January 6th, Tea Party Groups from as far away as Staunton, Rockbridge and Lynchburg have been working with us to put together one last protest to ensure that Senator Webb and Warner know what we think about their vote for the Health Care “reform” bill.
January 6th from noon – 2PM, we will gather outside of Senator Webb’s office at
3140 Chaparral Drive
Building C, Suite 101
Roanoke, VA 24018
This is a large office park and there is a lot of parking around the area. We want to focus our resources in one area, plus Warner’s office has lousy parking and is not in a high traffic area like Webb’s office. Warner/Webb and the media should get the message that we will not stand for this unconstitutional legislative monstrosity.
If the office is open (which is doubtful since Webb’s offices consistently close their doors to avoid having to defend Webb’s indefensible support of the health care reform bill) we will enter and demand to know how they can support a bill that will make the current problems with health care worse, not better. For an outstanding analysis of the Senate bill, read this…
This doesn’t even address the core issue that the Federal Government requiring citizens to carry health care insurance is patently unconstitutional.
In between trying to chat with Webb’s people, we will march. Bring signs as this is a highly visible area. Here are some sign ideas. We will be sending out a press release so we hope to garner some press coverage. We will be using this protest to get the word out about our January 18th Rally in Richmond.
Webb admits the bill isn’t “perfect.” But feels that these “improvements” made the bill necessary. Really?!?Voting for a bill this broken just to say you did something is why our country is in the mess it is in.
See you there…any questions? Please email me at chip@roanoketeaparty.com

Hello,
I am sorry I will not be available to attend due to some surgery on that day, I sure would like to be there.
I tried my best to contact Senators Webb and Warner to ask them not to vote for the health scare bill, but it appears that neither of these two lemmings have the courage to speak with their constituents. They must have taken their phones off the hook, and letters and e-mails were answered with a form letter that said nothing.
Please keep calling and writing these two self anointed boobs, attend the tea parties and let’s make sure that WE THE PEOPLE are heard loud and clear.
It is time for the silent majority to stop being silent! Lets take back the greatest country on this planet and start adhering to the Constitution.
Take Care and God Bless.

Regretably, I will be out of town on business, but you have my complete support. Please put these bozos on notice. They can not go to Washington and vote strict party line and not pay consequences. We do not need any more Pelosi & Reed lapdogs. We need representatives to represent the people of Virginia.
