Patriots March in Washington

Over three hundred people from the North Georgia/Carolina Patriots group marched in Washington on Sept.12.The crowd was massive they filled the capitol lawn, all of the streets leading up to the Capitol and all of the side streets.
Over 1 million people went to Washington to make their voices heard. As they walked down Pennsylvannia Avenue shoulder to shoulder they chanted, CAN YOU HEAR US NOW!CAN YOU SEE US NOW!They are concerned about the introduction of recent health care and cap and trade legislative bills.The economic condition of America is also a major concern.
Many from the group visited U.S. Senators Chambliss and Isakson’s offices to address these concerns and to deliver thousands of signatures against the healthcare and the cap and trade bills.Petitions to support fair tax were also delivered.
The group were given a tour of the U.S. Capitol building prior to visiting the Senators. Three students 17 year old Jeff Stewart,Towns County High,9 year old McKayla Partlow of Rabun County and 11 year old Sarah Gilley traveled with the group.
