Hundreds Rally Against Big Government In Denver
DENVER (CBS4) Coloradans who couldn’t make it to Washington, D.C. held two rallies at the State Capitol Saturday to protest health care reform and other issues. One rally was held in the afternoon and one was held at night.
The protesters listened to an audio recording of the nation’s founding documents and rallied around the principles stated in the Constitution. They sang patriotic songs and cheered as a host of speakers spoke about the increasing deficit, rising taxes and growing government.
Many of protesters held signs that read “No More Debt” and “Vote Out Clunkers In Congress.”
“We will not stand by while our free-market capitalist system, the greatest engine of prosperity in the history of the world, is destroyed in favor of yet another disastrous experiment with socialism,” coordinator Tony Gillis said.
“We gather peacefully here today because there is a growing concern about what our government is doing to us and our future,” said Dianne Powers, who attended the rally. “We fear for the very survival of our republic. Yet there is much to make us hopeful and to fill our hearts with optimism and courage. This is still our county.”
Along with advocating for less government, they also advocated for less government spending, which includes health care reform.

Fox 31: Thousands brave rain for Colorado Teaparty in front of capitol

Thousands brave rain for Colorado Teaparty in front of capitol

DENVER – “Thousands of Coloradans turned out for a tea party that offered politics and patriotism but no crumpets.

They met under the golden dome of the capitol for two rallies – each with flags waving and signs criticizing president Obama and the ruling democrats. “We’re fed up with what’s going on. And I’m not going to take it anymore,” said one speaker to a throng of applause.

They say they’re fed up with the government’s intrusion in health care and billions in stimulus spending. “Primary issue brought out is health care reform being debated right now. Just very concerned and our experience is government generally doesn’t make things better, ” says Elizabeth Walker, a mother of four children.

Metro state professor Norm Provizer says the Tea Party demonstrations against big goverment, forget that Obama campaigned and won on reforming health care. “‘There’s this terrible government trying to take over.’ First of all, that governmnet is in power because voters elected them to that position. So I think that, I don’t view that as partisan. I view it as rational,” he says.

Later saturday evening, Colorado’s Tea Party resumed. Rain thinned the crowds, but didn’t dampen enthusiasm about taking their country back from a government they say is too intrusive.

“There a lot of people who feel passionate about not pay other people’s mortages, their neighbor’s health care. So much so, they’re out here in our crowd,” says Jenny Hatch, with the Colorado Tea Party.

A crowd that says just because the election is over, doesn’t mean their movement is. “The pitchfork is a sign of revolution and i think that’s what happening,” says Jeanne Judge, who carried a pitchfork to the event.

“I believe you are experiencing and seeing the beginning of a revolt in America by the common people against the government, in terms of its spending,” says Al Davidson, who drove down from Grand Junction.

My interview with these Fox reporters was the longest of the three I did, it is always interesting to me to see what is used in the reports and how it is expressed.
