The email breathlessly announced the big happening scheduled for today:
We Can’t Afford to Wait Vigil
We’re organizing "We can’t afford to wait" vigils nationwide just days before members of Congress return to Washington, to make sure they know that an overwhelming majority of voters are counting on them to act quickly to pass health care reform.
Our vigils will put a human face on the urgent need for bold health care reform with a real public health insurance option. We’ll deliver an unmistakable message to the media and members of Congress: We can’t afford to wait: Public Option NOW!
Host your own We Can’t Afford to Wait Vigil or sign up for an event near you.

As of this morning, word was out on the street that more than a thousand people would be showing up to show support for national socialism.
A funny thing happened on the way to the rally, however…
Our friend Jane has the scoop:
This evening MoveOn.org held a ‘candlelight vigil’ in downtown Dover. MoveOn.org’s website boasted that they had over 1,300 sign ups for this particular rally.
When the 50 or so Tea Party counter-protesters arrived, they found that only about 50 people had arrived to conduct the ‘vigil’.
Here is a picture of what those expecting a pro-healthcare vigil of huge numbers were instead greeted with: a Tea Party!!!!
