Protesters Marched ......

Tens of thousands of protesters fed up with government spending marched to the U.S. Capitol on Saturday, showing their disdain for the president's health care plan with slogans such as "Obamacare makes me sick" and "I'm not your ATM." The line of protesters clogged several blocks near capitol, according to the D.C. Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency. Demonstrators chanted "enough, enough" and "We the People." Others yelled "You lie, you lie!" and "Pelosi has to go."

Throngs of people waved U.S. flags and held signs reading "Go Green Recycle Congress." Men wore colonial costumes as they listened to speakers who warned of "judgment day", Election Day 2010. They say unchecked spending on things like a government-run health insurance option could increase inflation and lead to economic ruin.
