12:12 p.m. It’s a beautiful day here in Parkersburg, W.Va. Rev. Bob Casto of Old Man Rivers Mission just gave the prayers and is talking about some of his thoughts on the current state of things.
The Parkersburg 9/12 Rally kicked off at 12 p.m. The crowd isn’t as big as the July 4th Tea Part Protest held here, but still a decent crowd.
Most were able to to go to the D.C. 9/12 Rally.
There will be other speakers and music. I’ll keep you up-to-date. I will also post a YouTube video of the event later.
12:24 p.m. Organizer Sandy Staats is talking about the rally, give thanks to Glenn Beck (who received a round of applause).
Now she is talking about the recent AP fact check of Obama’s misleading statements during his joint address of Congress. She is glad that the crowd is small, since the others are in D.C.
12:30 p.m. Attorney David Huffman is talking about the mainstream media’s lack of coverage of the radicals in the Obama administration. The crowd is eating it up and loving it. One individual yelled out that Obama had escaped via Air Force One.
I don’t see any racists yet, I will keep you advised
12:50 p.m. Larry Chambers is talking to the crowd about the “whale” known as health care. Congress is trying to eat it in one bite he says. The answer is taking it one bite at a time. Chambers works in the area of risk management. He supports tort reform, the crackdown of frivilous lawsuits. That’s the piece of the “whale” we need to fix first he says.
Another idea Chambers is promoting is something similar to unemployment compensation, except it would cover your insurance for up to 18 months until a new job is found. He also is a fan of interstate competition.
1:02 p.m. Seriously…we have on counter-protester.
One, a member of the local Democrat Party. It’s cute really. She not being too disorderly.
1:08 p.m. My Dad, Denver Adams, took the stage to talk about his experiences in the U.S. Marines and with his seven sisters and three brothers.
1:15 p.m. Activist Jim Rymer is talking about the privacy issues with Obama’s agenda. He is also talking about mountaintop reomoval, which is an issue that has always been close to his heart. I don’t agree with him on MTR, but Rymer is a true believe and a great guy.
1:21 p.m. Bill Hess is talking about the toil on small businesses and the state of the nation. He is railing against the Cash for Clunkers program and other entitlement programs. A guy driving by flipped him off. Also it seems there are only two media outlets here: Myself (The West Virginia Examiner/West Virginia Watchdog), and WTAP.
1:58 p.m. My Dad just sang (sorry for not blogging it, I had to run the sound board) Now people are being given a chance to speak out. Things are wrapping up and I hope to have the video on after while.
