Congressman Mike Pence (R-IN) speaks to the crowd at the DC rally on 9/12/09. It’s so nice to know at least a few people in Washington get it. Maybe more will start to understand. For every American patriot in DC today there are at least 50 who were there in spirit.
I am Mike Pence. I am from Indiana, and it is an honor to welcome the largest gathering of conservatives in American history to your nation’s capitol.
There are some politicians who think of you people as astroturf. Un-American. I’ve got to be honest with you, after nine years of fighting runaway spending here on this hill, you people look like the cavalry to me.
We stand together at a historic moment in the life of the conservative movement and in the life of this great country. The coming weeks and months may well set the course for this nation for a generation. How we as conservatives respond to these challenges, could determine whether America retains her place in the world as a beacon of freedom or whether we slip into the abyss that has swallowed much of Europe in an avalanche of socialism.
While some are prepared to write the obituary on capitalism and the conservative movement, I believe we are on the verge of a great American awakening. And it will begin here and begin now and begin with you.

Can we trade Dan Maffei in for someone like Mike Pence? I can only hope in 2010 Maffie loses his job.
