Congress will be going on their break in August.
What should we greet them with? We need to show the tea-baggers what real protesting looks like.

Any suggestions?

10. Yep, protests at congresscritters' local offices.
A simple message, and this can be very easily a bipartisan message.

"Go back to Congress and fix healthcare NOW."

Don't tell the congresscritters how to fix it. That argument can be left for later. The inaction on the matter needs to be addressed.

Mark.

11. Try this
Mid to late August, we hold rallies, with lit torches, at everyone's district office.
Labor Day weekend we start massing in DC.
Labor Day we have a huge free concert, and get Dennis, Howard and Rep Weiner to address the massive crowd.
Tuesday September 8 we pass out torches and light them and start shouting our demand for single payer, medicare for all or whatever the hell you think the best brand name is.
