“They’re un-American,” says House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, “They’re spreading lies and distortions.” says Senior White House Advisor  David Axlerod. They are “being funded by  out of district special interest groups and insurance companies,” says the Democratic National Committee.

“They” as you probably guessed, are the concerned citizens who’ve shown up at Townhall meetings across the nation, to express their displeasure over what President Barack Obama and the Democrats are about to do to our health care system but who are they really? What motivates them? Why are they so angry?

In the process we’ve collected more than 1.1 million signatures and we’re in e-mail communication with many on a weekly basis.”
